A slip by Cristiano Ronaldo during the Globe Soccer Awards 2024 in Dubai Rumors intensified about a possible secret marriage between the soccer star and Georgina Rodríguezhis partner since 2016. During the gala, in which he was recognized with two awards, the captain of the Portuguese national team referred to the businesswoman as “his wife”which sparked all kinds of speculation among fans.
The Al-Nassr forward, awarded Best Player in the Middle East and Top Scorer of all time, thanked Georgina during his acceptance speech for the awards he received. “My oldest son is here, my wife is here. “He is my loving support all the time to continue playing.”declared the 39-year-old footballer.
Furthermore, he expressed his determination to continue competing despite approaching 40: “I will continue because I want to win titles, be champion and score more goals.”
Although neither Ronaldo nor Rodríguez formally confirmed a marriage, this is not the first time that the Portuguese has used the term “wife” to refer to Georgina. In a video posted in August on his YouTube channel as part of a game called “Mr. and Mrs.”, also described her this way. On that occasion, both had what appeared to be wedding rings in their hands, which further fueled speculation.
In another intervention, during an interview on the podcast WHOOPCR7 shared details about his morning routine, again mentioning Georgina as his wife: “I drink my coffee, talk to my children, my wife and start the day”. These statements by the Portuguese star gave rise to renewed interest in the couple’s relationship with the influencer, with whom he shares two biological children and also lives with the other three children of the former Manchester United and Real Madrid forward.
The presence of Cristiano’s 30-year-old partner at the gala also caught the attention of those attending. The model and businesswoman wore an elegant black dress, while Ronaldo couldn’t take his eyes off her during the ceremony. Both have been in a relationship for eight years and on several occasions are the protagonists of rumors due to their notable public exposure and the lack of confirmation about a possible marriage.
The event that took place in the city of the United Arab Emirates marked another milestone in the career of Ronaldo, who for the second consecutive year was recognized as the Best Player in the Middle East. This and other recent achievements cement his status as one of the most prominent figures in world sport. The attacker also expressed his intention to become a club owner once his playing career ends. “I will never be a coach. Maybe I’ll own a club.”said Cristiano at the ceremony.
Furthermore, the Portuguese footballer criticized the current situation of the club where he exploded in the Premier League after his time at Sporting Lisbon and pointed out that the club’s problems go beyond the coaches and suggested that, if he had the opportunity to direct it , would implement significant changes. “If I return to Manchester United to manage the club, I will put things in order,” Ronaldo declared, leaving open the possibility of a future return in a managerial role.
