It is no longer news that there have been rumors making the rounds about the declining relationship between Cristiano Ronaldo and his partner. Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez‘s nearly seven-year romance is a heartwarming tale. The couple’s journey began in 2016 when Ronaldo met Rodriguez at a Gucci store in Madrid, but sparks didn’t fly instantly.
Georgina opened up about the early days of their romance on her Netflix show ‘Soy Georgina‘. She said that their initial encounter left her wanting more. “He became my client at Gucci, and one day, he said he was coming to an event. He asked if I’d be there. I said, ‘Yes. I’ve been invited too. I’ll drop by’ I was thinking about it all day, ‘What am I going to wear?’ ‘What hairstyle?’
“When I arrived, he looked gorgeous. I remember exactly what we were both wearing. …. We toasted a little champagne. Afterward, I had to go to the company dinner. I didn’t feel like going to the dinner at all, but it left us wanting more.” The former Manchester United player and the model dazzled each other on their first night out. However, they didn’t see each other for two months.
“Little by little, we started talking more, and things were progressing naturally, it wasn’t quick, because… it took us about two months, and during that time, we didn’t see each other,” Ronaldo said. It was only after two years that the football star finally asked Georgina out, and they have been inseparable since then.
