The wedding comes one year after Rodriguez announced their engagement, sharing a photograph of her enormous oval-cut diamond ring on Instagram alongside the message: “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Ronaldo and Rodriguez first met in Madrid in 2016, when Rodriguez was working at a Gucci store. Their relationship became public the following year, and the couple have since built a family together.
They share two daughters, Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda. Rodriguez has also helped raise Ronaldo’s three other children, Cristiano Jr. and twins Eva and Mateo.
In 2022, the couple revealed that their newborn son, Angel, Bella’s twin brother, had died during childbirth, while Bella survived.
Ronaldo’s latest personal milestone comes as he continues to rewrite the record books on the football pitch. The Portugal captain has scored 976 official senior goals in 1,330 appearances for club and country, leaving him just 24 goals away from the unprecedented 1,000-goal mark.
His career tally includes 450 goals in 438 appearances for Real Madrid, 145 goals in 346 games for Manchester United, 101 goals in 134 appearances for Juventus, 129 goals in 148 games for Al-Nassr and five goals in 31 appearances for Sporting CP.
For Portugal, Ronaldo has scored 146 goals in 233 international appearances, making him the all-time leading goalscorer in men’s international football.
