Georgina Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo met for the first time in 2017. At that time, Rodriguez used to work at a Gucci store while Ronaldo was the football world's biggest superstar.

Speaking about her first memory of meeting the five-time Ballon d'Or winner, Rodriguez recalled that she was struck by the handsome appearance of the legendary footballer (via Daily Mail):

"He's such a handsome man. When I saw him, he was so handsome. I felt embarrassed to look at him. I was finally able to leave the shop to go home three hours later than I should have, and as I was getting ready to leave, Cristiano came in with his eldest son and some friends."

The couple has been in a long-term relationship and has kids together as well. However, they are yet to officially tie the knot and get married. Rodriguez, however, claimed that she already feels married to Ronaldo.
