According to Sky Sports, Ronaldo and Rodríguez first crossed paths in 2016 at a Gucci shop in Madrid, where she was working at the time. He was then playing for Real Madrid. Their relationship has spanned a decade, culminating in the August 11 wedding, which Portuguese media have called the wedding of the year.

Rodríguez marked the occasion by posting a picture of a large diamond ring on Instagram, writing in Spanish, "Yes I do. In this and in all my lives."
Career and Financial Milestones
Ronaldo is widely regarded as one of the greatest footballers ever to play the sport. The 41-year-old Portuguese forward's career has taken him from Sporting CP in Lisbon to Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, and Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where he currently plays. He has scored close to 1,000 career goals and has won the Ballon d'Or five times, placing him second only to Lionel Messi, who has won the award eight times. Off the pitch, Ronaldo reached a financial milestone when the Bloomberg Billionaires Index valued his net worth at $1.4 billion last year, making him the first professional footballer to be recognised as a billionaire.
