Ronaldo announced the news via a poignant Instagram photo featuring two hands—presumably his, holding his wife’s hand—both adorned with wedding rings. The post spurred a flurry of engagement, garnering over 3 million likes within thirty minutes.

The bride, a model and influencer, first met the football legend at a Gucci shop in Madrid, where she worked while he was a player at Real Madrid. Their engagement was publicly announced on 11 August last year, with Rodríguez posting a large ring photo and a caption affirming her lifelong commitment.

He also shares a record for the most World Cup appearances with Lionel Messi. Beyond the pitch, the marriage marks a new chapter for the star and his partner, both of whom continue to influence millions online and in person.
