Cristiano Ronaldo, Georgina Rodríguez reveal why they held wedding in their living room
For most couples, getting married might mean booking a grand venue and inviting hundreds of guests, but for Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez, they chose to have their wedding right in the comfort of their living room.
In an interview with Vogue, the couple shared more about their simple wedding held in Portugal on Aug. 11, which was exactly 10 years after they first met.
"We’ve chosen to do it in the living room of our house here, where we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and where we live the reality of our lives. In 30 years’ time I want the children to think, 'Something wonderful happened at this table—the wedding vows of our parents,'" Rodríguez explained.
Rodríguez admitted that a simple wedding wasn't always what she envisioned when she was young.
"When I was a little girl, I dreamt of the biggest castle, the biggest carriage, the longest dress, a crown full of diamonds. And now I’m saying: 'No. I want something intimate, with my partner and our children, at home,'" she said.
"Because castles, houses, islands, horses, cars: We have all of that within reach every day. But something intimate—that’s more unusual for us," she added.
Nevertheless, she highlighted that they will still organize a "big wedding" in the future so they can celebrate with their family and friends.
The couple met in 2016 when Rodríguez was working in a Gucci store in Madrid, with Rodríguez describing it as "love at first sight."
In an interview with Vogue Arabia in 2025, she said she almost immediately felt "a sense of peace and an inexplicable energy" when she was with Ronaldo, "as if we had known each other forever."
Ronaldo and Rodríguez share five children.
