On December 28, 2024, the Global Football Awards ceremony was held in Dubai. Cristiano Ronaldo became one of the big winners at this event, receiving two major awards: Best Middle East Player of the Year and Best Goalscorer in History. The 39-year-old Ronaldo attended the ceremony with his 30-year-old partner, Georgina, drawing attention.
During his acceptance speech, Ronaldo's words sparked a heated discussion:
"It is a very pleasant thing to receive this award. My eldest son (Mini Ronaldo) is here, and my wife (Georgina) is also here. She will always be my closest supporter. I am about to turn 40, but my football journey is not over yet. I still want to win championships and score goals."
The focus of "The Daily Mail" and "The Sun" was on the word "wife" - Ronaldo publicly referred to Georgina as his "wife," rather than "lover" or "fiancée."
In the blink of an eye, Ronaldo and Georgina have been together for 8 years. Over these years, Georgina's identity has been "Ronaldo's girlfriend," following him from Real Madrid to Juventus, then to Manchester United and Al-Nassr. Ronaldo's mansion in the affluent area of La Finca in Madrid is also being transferred to Georgina's name.
"The Daily Mail" points out that in just 2024 alone, Ronaldo has publicly declared Georgina as his "wife" at least three times.
At the beginning of this year, Ronaldo talked about his life on the WHOOP program: "Every morning, I drink a cup of coffee, talk to my children, talk to my wife, and start a new day."
In August, Ronaldo also referred to Georgina as his "wife" in his personal video program.
At this Global Football Awards ceremony, Ronaldo once again declared Georgina as his wife.
Ronaldo lives with Georgina, and she has given birth to two daughters for him: Alana Martina was born in November 2017; in April 2022, Georgina became a mother again, giving birth to another daughter. Ronaldo has three other children, and Georgina treats them as if they were her own.
"The Daily Mail" suggests that Ronaldo and Georgina may have secretly gotten married. There is one detail that seems to confirm this: both Ronaldo and Georgina wear rings on their left ring fingers. Wearing a ring on the left ring finger typically signifies marital status.
