Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez marry with separation of assets prenuptial agreement

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have officially tied the knot in a private civil wedding in Cascais, Portugal. The ceremony took place at their home on Tuesday, August 11, exactly one year after the couple publicly announced their engagement.

Secretive Prenup Signed Before the Big Day

The wedding was not the only significant legal step the couple took. On August 10, 24 hours before the ceremony, Ronaldo and Georgina signed a prenuptial agreement at a notary's office in Lisbon, according to Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Notícias. The agreement reportedly establishes a separation-of-assets regime, meaning each person retains sole ownership of assets and property acquired before and after the marriage.

Ronaldo's Enormous Wealth a Key Factor

The arrangement is particularly significant given Ronaldo's enormous wealth. Bloomberg's Billionaires Index valued the Al-Nassr captain's net worth at $1.4 billion last year, making him the first professional footballer to reach billionaire status. This significant financial disparity highlights the importance of the prenuptial agreement in protecting each partner's interests.

A Close-Knit Ceremony

Despite their global fame, Ronaldo and Georgina kept the ceremony extremely close-knit. Their five children – Cristiano Jr., Eva, Mateo, Alana Martina, and Bella Esmeralda – were present for the special occasion. The witnesses included Ronaldo's childhood friend Miguel Paixão, Georgina's sister, Ivana Rodríguez, Spanish jeweller Jose Rodriguez Sangil, and his wife, Monica Gonzalez Martinez.

A Meaningful Date

The choice of August 11 was especially meaningful. It fell exactly one year after Ronaldo and Georgina publicly shared news of their engagement, turning the date into another significant milestone in their relationship. The ceremony began at 1:30 PM and was officiated by registrar Maria Manuel Ferreira de Campos Folhadela de Oliveira, who travelled from Porto to conduct the marriage.

Ronaldo Returns to Training as a Newlywed
