Cristiano Ronaldo, who remains in the mainstream due to his spectacular play and blunt views on different aspects of football, is making rounds for some other reason now. It is no secret that the Al-Nassr striker is in a relationship with long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez, and together they have five children. While the bond between the couple is strong, they still haven't tied the knot. However, the 5-time Balon d'Or's recent post has sparked considerable speculation about the possibility that the couple has secretly married each other.
On the occasion Rodriguez's 31st birthday, Ronaldo dropped a heartfelt message for her and referred to her as his "wife"
"For the mother, partner, friend, my wife happy birthday, love. Your light illuminates us, and your love infects us," Ronaldo wrote on Instagram, accompanying it with a heart emoji.
Although the couple has not publicly acknowledged their marriage, Ronaldo's reference to the term 'wife' may imply otherwise.
Rodriguez previously expressed her desire to be a wife. "I have always had this idea of being a happy woman with my husband and my children, and this is what I have," she shared in an interview with The Telegraph.
"Wonderful children, a man who loves me, who cares for me. I love him, I care for him, I adore him, I admire him, he is a very good person and I am happy to share my life with him."
"Marriage is in our plans, but now we have many interesting plans for the future. We have four children to educate and we are very focused on them," she had added.
Ronaldo and Rodriguez share two children together, and she is also the stepmother to his three other children.
