Cristiano Ronaldo and his fiancée, Georgina Rodríguez, are preparing to embark on a new chapter in their personal lives after confirming plans to marry following the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup. The wedding is expected to take place in September 2026, bringing years of their high-profile relationship to a formal milestone once the football tournament comes to an end.
For Ronaldo, however, family celebrations are temporarily on hold. The Portugal captain remains fully focused on guiding his country through the remainder of the World Cup, hoping to conclude his illustrious international career with the one major honour that has long eluded him.
Rodríguez has been a constant presence in the stands throughout Portugal’s World Cup campaign, cheering on Ronaldo and his teammates as they pursue football’s greatest prize. Her unwavering support has become a familiar sight at major tournaments, reflecting the close bond the couple have shared over the years.
Speaking about their future plans, Ronaldo revealed that the couple intend to exchange vows only after the World Cup has concluded.
“We will get married after the World Cup. I hope I can walk into the wedding ceremony with the champions’ trophy,” he said.
The remark underlines the legendary forward’s determination to crown his extraordinary career with World Cup success before turning his full attention to family life. At 41, Ronaldo continues to demonstrate remarkable longevity at the highest level of football, remaining one of Portugal’s key figures despite an already unmatched list of individual and team achievements.
The couple announced their engagement in August 2025 after years together. On 11 August, Rodríguez shared the news with millions of followers on Instagram, posting a photograph of her diamond engagement ring alongside the heartfelt caption: “Yes, I do. In this life and in all my lives.” The announcement quickly attracted worldwide attention, with supporters and fellow public figures offering congratulations.
Their relationship has been under the public spotlight since they first appeared together, evolving from a private romance into one of sport’s most recognised partnerships. Throughout Ronaldo’s career at club and international level, Rodríguez has frequently accompanied him at award ceremonies, football matches and family events, becoming one of his most visible supporters.
While Ronaldo remains one of the world’s most celebrated footballers, Rodríguez has established a successful career of her own. Her appearances in a popular Netflix reality series have introduced audiences to her life beyond football, while her influence across fashion, entertainment and digital media has continued to expand. She now commands an Instagram following of around 74 million people, making her one of the platform’s most influential personalities.
The couple are also devoted parents, regularly sharing glimpses of their family life with fans while maintaining a balance between their public responsibilities and private moments. Their engagement was widely welcomed by supporters who have followed their journey over the years.
Ronaldo has described marrying Rodríguez as “a beautiful chapter of our lives”, expressing his excitement about beginning that new stage together once his football commitments are complete.
Until then, the veteran forward’s priority remains firmly on the World Cup. As Portugal continue their campaign, Ronaldo will be aiming to achieve one final historic triumph on the international stage. Should that ambition become reality, he hopes to arrive at his wedding not only as a husband-to-be, but also as a FIFA World Cup champion—bringing together the greatest professional achievement of his career with one of the happiest moments of his personal life.
