Cristiano Ronaldo has been in the spotlight for his relationships as much as his sports career. His first known romantic involvement led to the birth of his son, Cristiano Jr., whose mother’s identity remains undisclosed at his request. Over the years, he has been romantically linked to several well-known figures, including Paris Hilton and Irina Shayk. In 2017, he welcomed twins, Eva and Mateo, through surrogacy.
Currently, Cristiano is engaged to Spanish model Georgina Rodríguez, with whom he has two daughters, Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda. Together, they have formed a blended family and are one of the most watched couples in the sports industry.
Here is a closer look at Georgina and a summary of Cristiano’s previous relationships.
Gemma Atkinson
In 2007, Cristiano was associated with British actress and model Gemma Atkinson for a few months. Gemma later shared details about their first date on Manchester’s Key 103 radio station, describing a casual evening at her home watching Only Fools and Horses and drinking tea. Despite being offered money to discuss their brief romance, Gemma declined, remarking on the intense media attention Cristiano attracted. She is now engaged to Strictly Come Dancing professional Gorka Marquez.
Nareida Gallardo
Spanish model Nareida Gallardo dated Cristiano for about seven months in 2008. Their relationship reportedly ended poorly, with Nareida criticizing him in the years following. In 2014, she called him “arrogant” and “egocentric” in a Spanish newspaper. However, she later defended him against 2017 rape allegations, describing him as “courteous” and not aggressive.
Paris Hilton
Cristiano and Paris Hilton were seen together in June 2009 at a Los Angeles nightclub, sparking rumors of a romantic relationship. However, Paris, 41, clarified in an interview that they were just “good friends.”
Irina Shayk
Cristiano’s longest relationship was with Russian model Irina Shayk, beginning in 2010. The pair frequently shared photos together and even appeared on the cover of Vogue Spain. Their five-year relationship ended in 2015 amid unconfirmed rumors of drama. Irina later hinted at her ideal partner in an interview, emphasizing qualities like faithfulness and respect. She later dated Bradley Cooper from 2015 to 2019, and they have a daughter, Lea De Seine.
Georgina Rodriguez
Cristiano and Georgina began their relationship in 2016, welcoming their first child, daughter Alana, on November 12, 2017. Cristiano has expressed how Georgina provided support following the death of his father, Dinis, in 2005. In a 2019 interview with Piers Morgan, he praised her as a friend and partner, saying, “She’s the mum of my kids, and I’m so passion for her.”
In October 2021, they announced they were expecting twins, sharing a photo of themselves with an ultrasound image. Tragically, one of the twins died during childbirth in April 2022. Their baby girl survived, but the baby boy did not.
“It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away,” the couple shared on Instagram. They expressed their devastation and referred to their son as their “angel.”
In August 2025, Cristiano and Georgina became engaged after eight years of dating.
