In the year 2026, football fans can experience even more than a World Cup final, and the world will be witnessing a fairy-tale ending to the brilliant career of Cristiano Ronaldo. It is also reported that the Portuguese legend may also get married to his long-term girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, around the same period when the world cup final is played, which means that the year 2026 may be an unforgettable month in sporting and celebrity history.
Ronaldo, who is 40 years old and preparing to play, possibly, his last international match, offered to Georgina earlier this month. The Spanish model and influencer posted her engagement news on the net, stating that she had a stunning EUR6 million diamond ring, created by Inaki Torres. The 40-45 carat oval cut centerpiece, complete with two triangular shaped stones, was a classic piece of jewelry and could only be likened to the Hollywood stars like Elizabeth Taylor.
According to the sources that were close to the couple, Portugal is the probable location, as Ronaldo wanted to share love and legacy with his motherland. According to Journalist Alberto Guzman, planning is still underway, but it is believed that the ceremony might be held on the closing match of the world cup on July 19, 2026.
Should it be true, the marriage may combine Ronaldo’s emotional climax of the football career with the following step in his personal life. To the fans, it represents the closure of an era – a player who was a model of commitment and perfection, and taking a new role as husband and family man.
Ronaldo has developed a strong family of five children together with Georgina based on principles of humility and discipline. With Ronaldo getting ready to retire his boots, his attention appears to be changing towards home stadiums to the one he has constructed with Georgina – a legacy that is lasting as the name Ronaldo in the history of football.
