The couple began dating in 2016 and made their first public appearance together at the Best FIFA Football Awards in Zurich in January 2017. They went Instagram official in May of that year. The pair share five children: twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8, daughter Alana, 7, daughter Bella, 3, and 15-year-old Cristiano Jr., who was born before the relationship.
In April 2022, Ronaldo and Rodriguez announced the death of Bella's newborn twin brother, Ángel.
Rodriguez’s Netflix series I am Georgina detailed the couple’s early relationship, including their first meeting when she worked at a Gucci store. "Many times he'd come after work," Rodriguez recalled. "He would come, I remember once, in a Bugatti. My coworkers went crazy. They get there on the bus, and I would leave in a Bugatti. I mean, people couldn't believe it."
Ronaldo added, "It was funny because I would wait for her outside the store in these flashy cars I have. ... We would go home, and there we would go into our own world."
The series also addressed the loss of their child. "Over 40 million people follow me, but no one knows how I really feel. This year, I had the best and the worst moment of my life in an instant," Rodriguez said, adding that Ronaldo "encouraged" her to resume enjoying life. "Life is hard. Life goes on. I have reasons to move on and be strong."
