Cristiano Ronaldo, the renowned football star, is reportedly preparing to marry model Georgina Rodriguez on August 8, 2023. The wedding is expected to take place on the picturesque island of Madeira, Portugal, where the couple has chosen a historic church in Funchal as the venue for their ceremony.

According to GB News, the couple has made arrangements for a grand wedding at the Funchal Cathedral, with local sources indicating that the church has been booked for a significant event around 3 PM on Saturday. Following the ceremony, a reception is planned at the nearby five-star Savoy Palace hotel, where guests have been informed about the preparations for this major occasion.

Funchal holds special significance for Ronaldo, who faced numerous challenges during his childhood before moving away at the age of 11 to pursue his football dreams with Sporting Lisbon. The local government has previously honored Ronaldo by erecting a bronze statue in his likeness.

Earlier reports suggested that the couple might have their wedding at the Quinta da Regaleira estate in Sintra, Lisbon, on August 1; however, those claims were quickly dismissed as the estate remained open to visitors. Just last week, Ronaldo and Georgina were spotted wearing diamond rings while enjoying a yacht trip in Mallorca, fueling speculation about their upcoming nuptials.

After the 2026 World Cup, Ronaldo and Georgina plan to travel with their children on a private jet. Georgina frequently shares family vacation photos on Instagram, attracting millions of likes. In a post dated July 30, she mentioned that their short family getaway inspired her creativity for her fashion brand.

The couple announced their engagement in August 2025 after dating for about eight years. Together for a decade, they have two children, Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda, while Ronaldo has three other children from previous relationships. Georgina has expressed that she treats all the children equally, emphasizing that they all call her 'mother' and she cares for them as her own.

At 41, Cristiano Ronaldo remains one of the most famous athletes globally, known for his physical prowess, speed, and diverse scoring abilities. This year, he topped Forbes' list of the highest-paid athletes, with an estimated net worth of around $1.2 billion. Georgina Rodriguez, 32, is an Argentine-Spanish model with a net worth of over $10 million, thanks to her modeling career and social media endorsements. The family currently resides in Saudi Arabia following Ronaldo's transfer to Al Nassr in 2022.
