At 22, Georgina Rodriguez was reportedly earning £250 a week as a sales assistant when she met Ronaldo. Nine years later, the duo is engaged.
Some love stories start with grand gestures, private jets, or red-carpet moments. This one started in a Gucci store. Georgina Rodriguez wasn’t a supermodel or an heiress when she met Cristiano Ronaldo—she was a 22-year-old sales assistant earning £250 a week, with a humble past and big dreams. Nine years later, she’s not just Ronaldo’s fiancée—she’s the steady, drama-free partner behind one of football’s most famous men. And in an industry where relationships can be short-lived, her loyalty and hustle stand out.

From Humble Beginnings to Madrid’s High-End Retail
Georgina was born in the Spanish mountain village of Jaca, where life was far removed from the flashing lights of football stadiums. Her Argentinian father, Jorge, was a former footballer, and her Spanish mother, Ana, worked hard to keep the family going.
As a little girl, she dreamed of becoming a ballet dancer, but her family couldn’t afford the training. Instead, she turned her focus to fashion. Her journey began with waitressing in Huesca, then a retail job in San Sebastian at Massimo Dutti.
At 17, she made a bold move—leaving Spain for England to work as an au pair in Bristol, determined to learn English and build a better future.
The Gucci Meeting That Changed Everything
By 2016, Georgina had returned to Spain and landed a sales job at Gucci in Madrid. One day, Cristiano Ronaldo walked in. She later described their first encounter as “love at first sight” for both of them. They bumped into each other again a few days later at a fashion event, where conversation flowed and sparks flew.
In 2019, Ronaldo told ITV he had found “true love” with Georgina, saying he would “marry her for sure.” His voice cracked when he told Piers Morgan, “Of course I’m in love with her.”
The Price of Fame
While dating Ronaldo came with luxury trips and glamorous events, it also brought complications. Georgina took a job at Prada in El Corte Inglés, but her growing fame made work impossible. Fans swarmed the shop hoping to see Ronaldo, paparazzi camped outside, and customers constantly asked for selfies. Eventually, she and her employer agreed it was best for her to leave.
Building a Life Together
In November 2017, Georgina gave birth to their daughter, Alana Martina. She’s since taken on a full-time role caring for the couple’s blended family of four children. From Madrid to Turin to Manchester, she’s been the quiet anchor in Ronaldo’s whirlwind career. Far from chasing the spotlight, she’s built her influence on social media while remaining largely drama-free—a rarity in the world of celebrity relationships.
The Proposal and the Next Chapter
After nine years together, Ronaldo has proposed. On August 11, 2025, Georgina took to her Instagram account and shared with her over 60 million followers that she said yes to Ronaldo.
The post had her hand placed on the soccer star’s hand, and clearly, she is seen wearing a diamond ring.
She wrote:
Sí, quiero. En esta y en todas mis vidas.
which translates to “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Their love story is proof that not every relationship in the limelight is built on fame or money. Georgina entered Ronaldo’s world without trying to change herself—and she’s still the same grounded woman he met in that Gucci store.
Real love isn’t about flashing cash but loyalty and hustle. In a world where some chase coins like gold diggers, Georgina has shown that some hearts can’t be bought. She’s navigated fame with grace, stayed true to herself, and stood by Ronaldo through career highs and personal challenges. Respect where it’s due—and here’s to the next chapter of their journey.
