Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have revealed intimate details about their recent wedding, with Vogue Magazine publishing photographs showing that the couple exchanged vows inside the living room of their £30 million mansion in Cascais, Portugal.
The football superstar, 41, and the Spanish-Argentine model, 32, reportedly chose a private ceremony surrounded by their children rather than the lavish wedding many might have expected from one of the world’s most famous couples.
The ceremony took place a year after Ronaldo proposed to Rodríguez with a reported £3 million engagement ring.

Ronaldo and Georgina’s Private Wedding
Details of the couple’s wedding emerged after Vogue Magazine released photographs from the ceremony.
The images reportedly show Ronaldo and Rodríguez celebrating their marriage in the living room of their luxurious home in Cascais.
Rather than organising a large ceremony at a castle, hotel or traditional wedding venue, the couple decided to make the occasion a private family moment.
Rodríguez said the ceremony was exactly how she had imagined it and admitted that she became emotional while exchanging vows with Ronaldo.
“It was exactly as I’d imagined it,” she said, adding that she “couldn’t hold back the tears.”
The decision appears to reflect the couple’s desire to celebrate their relationship away from the intense public attention that has surrounded them for years.
Wedding Held in Their Living Room
According to the newly released details, Ronaldo and Rodríguez exchanged their vows in the living room of their £30 million mansion in Cascais.
The couple’s choice of location was particularly striking given Ronaldo’s enormous wealth and international fame.
Rodríguez explained that although they have access to luxurious homes, cars, islands and other expensive possessions, having an intimate ceremony at home felt much more special.
She recalled that as a child she had dreamed of having a huge wedding involving a castle, carriage, long wedding dress and diamond crown.
However, her priorities changed as she grew older.
Instead of a spectacular public ceremony, she wanted something personal involving her partner and their children.
Only Four Witnesses Were Present
Jornal de Notícias reportedly published a copy of the couple’s marriage certificate, providing additional details about the ceremony.
The document reportedly showed that only four witnesses were present.
Their children were also part of the intimate occasion.
The small guest list highlights just how private the ceremony was.
Rather than inviting a large group of friends, celebrities and relatives, Ronaldo and Rodríguez reportedly kept the event focused on their immediate family.
The decision has generated considerable interest because both stars are accustomed to living under intense media attention.
Family Members Were Not Invited
One of the more surprising details surrounding the ceremony is that Ronaldo’s mother, Dolores Aveiro, and his siblings Hugo, Elma and Katia were reportedly not present.
According to reports, some of Ronaldo’s family members only learned about the wedding approximately 30 seconds before it happened.
The reported decision not to have them physically present has attracted attention, although the couple has not publicly detailed the reasons behind the unusual arrangement.
Rodríguez indicated that the couple may eventually hold a much larger celebration.
“In the future we will have a big wedding so we can celebrate with family and friends,” she said.
This suggests that the intimate ceremony may not necessarily be the only wedding celebration the couple plans to have.
Georgina Explains Her Intimate Choice
Rodríguez said the decision to have a small ceremony was influenced by the couple’s lifestyle.
She explained that many of the extravagant things she dreamed about as a child are now easily accessible to them.
Because castles, houses, cars and other luxuries are within their reach, she believes an intimate family ceremony is much more unusual and meaningful.
She said she wanted to celebrate at home with Ronaldo and their children.
The approach allowed the couple to focus on their relationship and family rather than the spectacle surrounding the wedding.
Ronaldo Says Marriage Changes Everything
Ronaldo also reflected on what marriage means for their relationship.
Asked whether becoming husband and wife would change anything between them, the footballer suggested that marriage represents a significant new stage.
“Just the fact of being man and wife – you enter a different league,” he said.
The Portuguese star also spoke about his future in football, suggesting that he may be approaching the final stage of his playing career.
Ronaldo said his future is largely mapped out and indicated that he expects to devote more time to his family.
Could the Couple Have Another Child?
The couple also discussed the possibility of expanding their family in the future.
Rodríguez jokingly suggested that having another baby immediately would mean the household was already too busy.
However, she said that when their younger children are older, the possibility could be reconsidered.
“When the youngest are 15 or 16, we’ll still be young, so why not?” she said.
Ronaldo also refused to completely rule out having another child.
“I never say never,” the footballer said.
He added that he wants to leave what he described as a “spectacular legacy.”
Their First Public Appearance as Newlyweds
Following their wedding, Ronaldo and Rodríguez were seen together with their children during their first public outing as newlyweds.
The family attended the Saudi Pro League match between Al-Nassr and Al-Fateh at Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh on Saturday night.
The appearance gave fans their first opportunity to see the newly married couple together publicly following the intimate ceremony in Portugal.
For a couple whose relationship has attracted global attention for years, the decision to marry quietly at home represents a remarkably private beginning to their new chapter.
Although Rodríguez has suggested that a larger celebration with family and friends could take place in the future, their first wedding will remain a deeply personal occasion centred on their children and immediate family life.
