Georgina Rodriguez, the 32-year-old Spanish model, has captured the attention of people across the globe with her glamorous lifestyle. She’s a dancer and the partner of much-loved footballer Cristiano Ronaldo. However, her journey to fame is far more than luxury and attention. Let’s have a look at the woman behind the headlines.
Early Life and Humble Beginnings
Born in Jaca, Spain, Georgina was raised by her Spanish mother and Argentinian father, alongside her sister Ivana. She spent a happy childhood in her small hometown, attending Catholic school and dedicating much of her time to ballet. Eventually, she moved to Madrid to pursue a career in luxury retail, working first at Massimo Dutti before transitioning to Gucci.
Meeting Cristiano Ronaldo
It was during her time at Gucci that Georgina met Cristiano Ronaldo, who became a personal shopping client. Their romance began when he invited her to an event, and the two were soon photographed together, sparking media interest. In her Netflix series I Am Georgina, Georgina shares how her life dramatically changed, going from commuting by bus to being chauffeured in Cristiano’s Bugatti. The couple has been together for over five years.
Though Georgina no longer dances professionally, she has not forgotten her roots. At an Italian dance festival, she wowed the audience with a sultry salsa performance, with Cristiano watching in admiration.
