Georgina Rodriguez shares why she wed Cristiano Ronaldo at home
Georgina Rodriguez says she and Cristiano Ronaldo chose a private wedding in the living room of their Cascais, Portugal mansion because she now values intimacy over the fairy-tale ceremony she dreamed of as a child. The couple announced their marriage in a joint Instagram post on Tuesday, August 11, 2026, and Rodriguez later told Vogue that, while she once imagined a grand castle, a magnificent carriage and a diamond-crowned gown, she now wants something unique shared with Ronaldo and their children in their everyday space. She explained that exchanging vows in the room where they eat breakfast, lunch and dinner creates a lasting memory for their kids, hoping that in 30 years they will recall that something wonderful happened at that table - their parents' wedding vows.
The revelation highlights a growing trend among high-profile couples to reject lavish weddings in favor of personal, meaningful ceremonies, offering a counter-narrative to the extravagant celebrity nuptials often showcased in media.
