Cristiano Ronaldo may have hinted that he is now a married man by referring to his long-time partner, Georgina Rodriguez, as his “wife.” The 39-year-old football star has been in a relationship with Georgina since 2016, and the couple shares two children together, with Georgina also acting as stepmother to Ronaldo’s other three children.
Despite no official announcement regarding their marriage, speculation arose after Ronaldo referred to Georgina as his “wife” on his new YouTube channel. While introducing her for the “Mr. and Mrs.” game, he called her “my wife,” a comment that quickly caught the attention of fans. One fan remarked, “The way he calls her ‘my wife’ >>>,” while another added, “He said ‘my wife, Gio’.”

Both Ronaldo and Georgina were also seen wearing rings in the video, further fueling the rumors. Earlier this year, Ronaldo sparked similar speculation when he referred to Georgina as “wife” during an advertisement for the sports brand Whoop. In the ad, Ronaldo said, “When I’m not training at the club, I like to train with my wife at home. Because I can motivate her and she can motivate me too.”
Following the video, Ronaldo’s publicist told People magazine that they had “no knowledge of whether or not Cristiano is married to Georgina.”
