Cristiano Ronaldo denies reports he secretly wed Georgina Rodríguez… after vowing to tie the knot

Cristiano Ronaldo has shot down reports that he wed his long-term girlfriend Georgina Rodríguez in a low-key ceremony in Morocco.

On Wednesday evening, speculation was rife that the footballer, 34, had quietly tied the knot with the 25-year-old former shop assistant, following a report from Novella 2000 magazine in Italy, where Ronaldo plays for Juventus FC.

But sources close to the formidable sportsman have denied the rumours, branding all talk of the purported late August ceremony ‘fake news’.

Speculation of a wedding comes just weeks after Ronaldo, who has been dating Georgina since 2016, revealed plans to marry the brunette beauty – which he insists would be his mother Maria Dolores dos Santos Aveiro’s dream.

Speaking to Piers Morgan, he said: ‘She helped me so much. Of course I’m in love with her. We’ll be (married) one day, for sure. It’s my mum’s dream as well.’ 

Georgina has inserted herself smoothly into life with Cristiano and his children Cristiano Jr., nine, two-year-old twins Eva and Mateo, and Alana, two.

Their love is plain to see, as he said: ‘She helped me so much. Of course I’m in love with her. ‘We’ll be (married) one day, for sure. It’s my mum’s dream as well…

‘So, one day. Why not? It’s great. She’s my friend. We have conversations. I open the heart for her and she opens the heart for me.’ 

Despite his exciting profession, Georgina recently admitted that it’s ‘not easy’ being in a relationship with someone as famous as him – but she wouldn’t change a thing.

The former shop assistant confessed that it was ‘love at first sight’ when they first met and also revealed how she seduces her footballer beau.

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday, Georgina opened up on her relationship and confessed that although at times it can be tough dating someone in the public eye, she couldn’t be happier.

She said: ‘Being the partner of someone so famous is not easy but I would not change it for the world.’

The brunette beauty then went on to say that as well as the emotional connection between them, its important to keep the romantic spark and insists that she always sleeps in lingerie.

‘Together we are stronger and there is a mutual admiration. But to seduce and to dream is so ­important. I always sleep in lingerie and I prefer sexy lingerie.’

She added that sleeping in her sexy underwear is ‘comfortable ‘ and ‘romantic’, and it will make your man ‘happy’.

And the Spanish model further gushed about her romance with the Portuguese forward as she insisted that their first meeting was ‘love at first sight’.

The couple first locked eyes on each other when she was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Spain, before meeting again days later at a brand event.

Opening up about that meeting, she explained: ‘It was then that we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside of my work environment. It was love at first sight for both.’
