Cristiano Ronaldo Hasn’t Married His Beloved after 5 Kids Though She 'Deserves' It — Here’s Why

• Cristiano Ronaldo took care of Georgina Rodríguez during a dark time.
• As the highest-paid sportsman in the world, the internet has thoughts on why the Al-Nassr forward and influencer remains unwed.

It was love at first sight for two beautiful people, one a shop assistant and model, and the other a world-famous soccer player, when they met at a Gucci store in Madrid, Spain.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez connected in a more relaxed atmosphere at an event for the brand a few weeks later. They have been dating since June 2016.

Though they have yet to hit, arguably, one of the most significant relationship milestones, marriage, the pair moved relatively fast on other fronts for a celebrity couple. They made their red carpet debut within a few months of their courtship.

The moment was made even more significant with Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., the superstar's six-year-old son, walking with the new couple at The Best FIFA Football Awards 2016 ceremony at the start of 2017. Rodriguez affectionately held the boy's shoulder as they posed together.

While this was their first official outing together, the model was spotted many times with her boyfriend's son at Real Madrid's Santiago Bernabéu Stadium cheering on Ronaldo in the months prior.

When Rodriguez met the future father of her children, the then-21-year-old was living in cramped accommodations with three housemates. She took public transport to work in the morning, and he would pick her up at the end of her shift on his Bugatti.

Rodriguez was raised in a strict Catholic household in Jaca, Spain. The Catholic schoolgirl's traditional life changed when she was discovered by a model scout at 15, going on to model for Reebok.

How Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez Created Their Modern Family and Dealt with the Loss of a Child

The Ballon d'Or winner did not have a conventional or easy journey to becoming a father of five with his girlfriend. The identity of his firstborn Cristiano Jr.'s biological US mother has remained a secret since he was born.

Similarly, the twins Eva Ronaldo and Manteo Ronaldo, born in 2017, were carried by an unnamed surrogate. That November, Rodriguez gave birth to Alana Ronaldo. "The children are our joy," she said in a photo spread with her newborn:

"We wake up, and the first thing we do is hug and kiss them, put them in their little chairs and watch them while they have their breakfast, make sure they have everything they need, and so on all day long. This is a very special time for us all."

She gushed about how she had found love and how well they complement each other, saying, "We have a beautiful relationship, and when I have him beside me, I have everything. I feel loved and cared for. Love conquers all."

They announced in October 2021 that the family was growing with another set of twins. Tragically, in April of the following year, they shared on Instagram that one of the babies, a son, had died.

"Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness," they said. The social media influencer shared photos of Bella Esmeralda Ronaldo in May wearing a Moschino designer onesie.

In a sit-down interview that November, Ronaldo expressed his grief for his son, calling it "probably the worst moment" of his life. Rodriguez found comfort in the eyes of their remaining children, grateful that they could be together.

Why Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez Are Not Married? How She Is Treated like a Wife

While mourning her father's death in 2019, Rodriguez told ¡HOLA! about how well the soccer star cared for her during the devastating time. She also answered the question on everyone's lips:

"What if Cristiano has asked me to marry him? Not for now, but I would love to."

Ronaldo is also optimistic about a union but vague about the timeline. "I'm not thinking now about that," he said in November 2022, "but I can see in the future I think I deserve, she deserves, but it's something not coming now in my plans, but in the future is yes, I want. "

In his girlfriend's docuseries, "I Am Georgina," Ronaldo said that he is "1000 percent" sure that they will get married. He coyly said it could be in a year, six months, or a month.

Forbes magazine named Ronaldo the highest-paid athlete in the world this May. He reportedly takes home £109 million ($138.8 million) annually. This is why the internet speculates that the couple has not tied the knot. "Have you asked yourself why Cristiano Ronaldo isn't married to Georgina Rodriguez, with all that money and fame??" one tweeted.

"People are saying why have Ronaldo not married Georgina Rodriguez? Go and Google what happens to a Rich man's properties and money in Europe after a divorce. Ronaldo knows what he is doing," a social media user theorized.

"I think he thinks she is a good mother to his small children, but the fact he won't marry her means he's watching out for his money and doesn't see her as permanent," one speculated in the commented section of a Daily Mail article. They added:

"I can't say I blame him, but he's never trusted or loved anyone as much as he does his mother."

There has been gossip that Ronaldo's mother, Dolores Ronaldo, disapproves of them getting married. Calling Rodriguez her future daughter-in-law, the matriarch refuted claims of a rift to a sports outlet, saying, "Stop making up stories."

According to news reports, Rodriguez signed a document in the style of a prenuptial agreement. In the event of their break-up, he will continue to pay her a stipend of €100 000 ($108 000) for the children's expenses for the rest of her life.

Also, the deed of the family home in Madrid, La Finca, will be transferred to her. The unwed pair got a special exemption from Saudi laws, which prevents the cohabitation of unmarried people when he signed with the Saudi Pro League in January 2023.
