Ronaldo confirmed the news by sharing a photo of the couple's wedding bands on Instagram before his representative issued a formal statement quoted by the Daily Mail.
"Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez were married today in a civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, and are now officially husband and wife. The ceremony was a private and close-knit moment attended by their five children."
The wedding marks a major milestone for the couple, who have been together for 10 years. It also came exactly one year after Ronaldo proposed to Georgina.
Date and venue of Ronaldo's private wedding
The couple deliberately kept the ceremony away from the spotlight, choosing Cascais instead of Funchal Cathedral in Madeira, where reports had suggested they would marry.
The close-knit ceremony took place on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, allowing Ronaldo and Georgina to exchange vows away from the crowds and cameras.
Below is Ronaldo's post, as shared on Instagram:
Thousands of supporters had gathered outside Funchal Cathedral days earlier, convinced they would witness the football superstar's wedding.
However, the ceremony there was actually for Fabio Ramos and Fatima Nicole Cunha Teixeira, a couple from Madeira.
