A Love Story Spanning Eight Years
The couple first confirmed their relationship in early 2017 after meeting when Rodriguez worked at a Gucci store in Madrid. In her Netflix series I am Georgina, she recalled Ronaldo arriving after work in his Bugatti, much to the amazement of her coworkers. “They get there on the bus, and I would leave in a Bugatti,” she said.
Ronaldo added, “It was funny because I would wait for her outside the store in these flashy cars I have. … We would go home, and there we would go into our own world.”
Life, Loss, and Family
Ronaldo and Rodriguez share five children: twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8, daughter Alana, 7, daughter Bella, 3, and 15-year-old son Cristiano Jr. from a previous relationship. In April 2022, the couple announced the death of Bella’s newborn twin brother, Ángel, calling it the “greatest pain” they had ever felt.
Speaking about the tragedy on her Netflix series, Rodriguez described it as “the best and the worst moment of my life” — celebrating Bella’s birth while mourning Ángel’s passing. She credited Ronaldo with encouraging her to find joy again, saying, “Life is hard. Life goes on. I have reasons to move on and be strong.”
