Cristiano Ronaldo has sparked widespread speculation that he and his longtime girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez may have secretly tied the knot.
The 39-year-old football superstar referred to Rodriguez as his “wife” during a workout video for his fitness brand, Whoop. The video, shared on the company’s Instagram account on July 29, has sent fans into a frenzy. In the video, Ronaldo discusses his home workout routines and the importance of staying motivated.
“Most important thing is, it’s not what you do, it’s you have to do,” Ronaldo said during the interview, which took place in his home gym. He continued, “When I’m not training in the club, I like to work with my wife at home because I can push her and she can push me too.”
This casual mention of Rodriguez as his “wife” did not go unnoticed. The Instagram video quickly garnered over 529,000 likes and a flood of comments from curious fans. Many were eager to know if Ronaldo’s use of the term “wife” meant that he and Rodriguez had gotten married in secret.
“Did he say my wife? Are they now secretly married?” one fan commented. Another added, “@cristiano when did you get married with him calling her ‘my wife.’” A third fan humorously noted, “He said ‘my wife’ olalaaa.”
Amid the growing speculation, Ronaldo’s publicist spoke to People magazine, stating that they could not confirm if the couple had actually gotten married. “At this time, I cannot confirm nor deny that Cristiano has married Georgina. I simply do not know,” the publicist said, leaving fans to wonder.
Attempts to get a comment from Ronaldo’s representative have so far been unsuccessful.
Ronaldo and Rodriguez have been together since 2017, and their relationship has been closely followed by the media and fans alike. During a 2022 interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo discussed the possibility of marrying Rodriguez. While he expressed his desire to marry her eventually, he mentioned that there was no rush, emphasizing that it would happen when the time was right for both of them.
The couple shares a deeply committed relationship and has been raising their children together. They have often been seen supporting each other at various events and sharing affectionate moments on social media.
The recent speculation about their marital status adds another layer of intrigue to their high-profile relationship. Whether or not they have indeed tied the knot remains a topic of keen interest.
