Cristiano Ronaldo has left fans and media buzzing once again, after referring to long-term partner Georgina Rodríguez as his “wife” during a recent awards speech.
This unexpected mention has reignited speculation that the couple might have secretly tied the knot.
The Big Night in Dubai
At the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, Ronaldo celebrated a remarkable night, walking away with two prestigious honors.
The 39-year-old Al Nassr striker was named the Top Goalscorer of All Time and also took home the title of Best Middle Eastern Player.
During his acceptance speech for the latter award, Ronaldo expressed his gratitude and shared heartfelt words about his family, calling Georgina his “wife.
” This casual reference has sparked intrigue among fans who have long wondered about the couple’s relationship status.
A Family Affair
Ronaldo’s speech was a family celebration, as he mentioned his oldest son being present at the event and highlighted Georgina’s constant support.
“It’s a big pleasure to win this trophy.
My oldest son is here, my wife [Georgina] is here,” he said.
“She’s my lovely support all the time to carry on playing.
” He also spoke about his upcoming 40th birthday, adding, “In one month, I’m gonna be 40 years old, but I’m not finished yet.
I will continue because I want to win titles, I want to be a champion, I want to score more goals, and I want to try to win for the national team.”
A Long-Standing Relationship
Cristiano and Georgina have been together since 2016 and share two children, with Georgina also acting as the stepmother to Ronaldo’s three older children.
While they have never officially confirmed they are married, this is not the first time Ronaldo has used the term “wife” when referring to Georgina.
In fact, earlier this year, during a Mr. and Mrs.
game on his YouTube channel, Ronaldo once again called Georgina his wife. The couple also appeared to wear wedding rings in the video, further fueling the rumors.
Casual Mentions of “Wife”
The “wife” reference didn’t stop at the awards show.
In an earlier interview on the WHOOP Podcast, Ronaldo casually referred to Georgina as his wife while talking about his morning routine.
“I take my coffee when I start my day.
It’s my routine… in the morning, I take my coffee, speak with my kids, with my wife, and start the day.”
A Historic Night
Despite the ongoing speculation about his personal life, it was undoubtedly a momentous evening for Ronaldo professionally.
His two awards at the Globe Soccer Awards reflect his remarkable achievements on the field, solidifying his legacy as one of football’s greatest.
As for the marriage rumors, whether or not the couple has secretly tied the knot remains a mystery.
However, with multiple mentions of “wife” over the past few months, it’s clear that Ronaldo and Georgina’s relationship remains as strong as ever.
