The Man Utd and Real Madrid legend has revealed exactly why he hasn’t married his long-term girlfriend.
Cristiano Ronaldo has revealed exactly why he hasn’t married long-term girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez.
Since 2016, football legend Ronaldo has been in a committed relationship with Argentine-Spanish model Rordriguez, who he met while she was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid.
The couple have two daughters together, Alana Martina and Bella, who they raise alongside Ronaldo’s other three children who he had with two surrogate mothers.
Despite this, Ronaldo is yet to propose to his long-term partner, and he has explained his reasons why.
Although Ronaldo has reassured both Rodriguez and fans of the couple that he fully intends on getting married at some point in the future, he revealed that he is waiting for the right moment.
Speaking in the first episode of the 2022 Netflix docuseries “I Am Georgina,” Ronaldo revealed: “I always tell her ‘When we get that click.’
“Like everything with our life, and she knows what I’m talking about. It could be in a year or it could be in six months or it could be in a month.
“I’m 1000% sure that it will happen.”
Earlier in the episode, Rodriguez revealed that her close friends and family regularly tease her about marrying the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star after being with him for nine years.
She added: “They’re always joking about the wedding, ‘When is the wedding?’
“Since Jennifer Lopez’s song ‘The Ring or When’ came out, they started singing it to me, and well, it’s not up to me”
Since the documentary has released, many fans have speculated that Ronaldo and Rodriguez may have got engaged and married in secret, with the footballing great dropping several hints on social media.

In a caption wishing his partner a happy birthday, he referred to Rodriguez as his wife, writing: “For the mother, partner, friend, my wife… happy birthday, love.
“Your light illuminates us and your love infects us,’ he added, alongside a heart emoji.”
Similarly, Ronaldo called Rodriguez his wife when thanking her for her support while accepting an award at the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai in December.
During the ceremony the Al Nassr striker was given both the Best Middle Eastern player and the Top Goalscorer of All Time awards.
In his acceptance speech, Ronaldo further added to the rumours, saying: “It’s a big pleasure to win this trophy. My oldest son is here, my wife [Georgina] is here.”
Cristiano Ronaldo finally reveals the real reason why he will NEVER go into football management after he retires
Cristiano Ronaldo has explained why fans will never see him as a manager after he hangs up his boots.
Cristiano Ronaldo has ruled out becoming a football manager after retirement, citing a lack of passion for coaching the current generation. The 40-year-old has ambitions to continue playing alongside his son, and his recent goal tally shows no signs of slowing down. Although he has various business ventures, including a popular YouTube channel, Ronaldo is focused on his post-playing life in business rather than coaching.
He explained that players today are not receptive to advice, believing social media provides all the education they need. Ronaldo prefers to focus on his business ventures and personal growth in areas outside football.
Additionally, Ronaldo plans to buy a football club after his playing career, but he clarified that he doesn’t want to become a coach or club president. He envisions himself as a club owner in the future, with potential interests in clubs in Portugal, Saudi Arabia, or even the MLS. For now, Ronaldo remains focused on his playing career, aiming for 1000 goals and a potential 2026 World Cup appearance.
