As Cristiano Ronaldo continues his quest for an elusive World Cup trophy, his fiancée Georgina Rodriguez has revealed the extraordinary motivation driving the 41-year-old captain — and the unique promise she made before saying yes.
“I agreed to waive any claim to his wealth and properties if we marry and ever divorce,” Rodriguez said in a recent interview. “I told Cristiano that I would gladly say yes to his proposal and agree to sign not to split his wealth and properties if there comes a divorce — as he had always wanted for us before we get married. My only condition was simple: bring the World Cup homeThe couple, who have been together since 2016, announced their engagement in August 2025. Ronaldo proposed with an oval-shaped diamond ring weighing approximately 35 carats. Their wedding is planned for after the World Cup, with reports suggesting a ceremony in July on the island of Madeira, Portugal — Ronaldo’s birthplace.
Ronaldo himself has spoken about the timing. “We don’t have a date yet [for the wedding], but we plan to do it after the World Cup, with the trophy,” he told Piers Morgan.
The financial stakes are considerable. Reports indicate the couple has a prenuptial agreement that would grant Rodriguez a lifetime monthly allowance exceeding $114,000 and ownership of a €5 million luxury mansion in La Finca, Madrid, in case of separation. But Rodriguez insists she is willing to waive it all — if Ronaldo delivers the one trophy missing from his legendary collection.
“Every day, I see his dedication, discipline, and progress,” she said. “To me, he is a champion, a king, and the love of my life. I believe in him completely.”
Ronaldo has certainly delivered on the pitch so far. He made history by becoming the first player to score in six different World Cups, netting a brace in Portugal’s 5-0 rout of Uzbekistan. The two goals brought his total World Cup tally to 10, surpassing Eusebio as Portugal’s all-time leading scorer in World Cup finals. He now has 144 international goals in 230 appearances — both records in men’s international football.
Born in Spain to Argentine parents, Rodriguez has fully embraced her fiancé’s Portuguese cause. Despite Argentina’s own World Cup campaign, she has made clear where her loyalties lie. She watched Portugal’s victory over Uzbekistan from home, celebrating wildly as Ronaldo found the net.
With Portugal sitting top of Group K on four points and Ronaldo chasing a record-extending sixth World Cup appearance, the stage is set for a potential fairy-tale ending — one that could finally lead the couple down the aisle.
