The rumors are coming to an end. Cristiano Ronaldo (41, Al Nassr) is finally marrying his fiancée Georgina Rodriguez (32).

On the 2nd (Korean time), the British outlet 'The Sun' exclusively reported that "Ronaldo plans to hold a fairy-tale wedding with his fiancée Georgina Rodriguez on the island where he was born and raised."

'The Sun' explained, "The couple has decided to hold their ceremony on Madeira Island, Ronaldo's hometown." According to local reports, a cathedral in Funchal, the capital of Madeira, has been reserved for the large-scale event, and the church ceremony is reported to begin at 3 p.m. local time on Saturday.

Ronaldo, who spent his childhood in Funchal, and Georgina, a model with dual Spanish-Argentine nationality, are said to have also booked a nearby five-star luxury hotel for the reception. According to 'The Sun,' a source conveyed the local atmosphere: "Guests were informed that access would be restricted to two floors and some bar areas over both Friday and Saturday."

Previously, outlets such as 'Bleacher Report' and 'The Sun' had covered rumors of the couple's surprise wedding. At the time, media reported that "the marriage speculation gained traction after the pair were spotted wearing large diamond rings on their fingers while enjoying a vacation in Mallorca."

At one point, citing remarks by a TV host, some even mentioned a specific venue for the wedding: Quinta da Regaleira mansion in Sintra, Portugal. However, it was confirmed that the site remained open to the public even on weekends, leading to the speculation being dismissed as a mere incident. Yet, just two days later, 'The Sun's' report revealed concrete details about cathedral and hotel reservations in hometown Madeira, confirming the marriage rumors as fact.

Ronaldo had previously stated his plan to hold the wedding after the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA World Cup in North America. In an interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo expressed his wish: "I want to enter the wedding venue holding the World Cup trophy." He also added strong affection, saying, "Georgina is the only person I wanted to settle down with. It's not just because she is the mother of my children; it's because she is the one I love most, so now is the time to marry her." However, contrary to Ronaldo's wish, Portugal was eliminated in the Round of 16 after losing to eventual champions Spain.

The couple first met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, Spain, and have been together for nearly a decade, welcoming two daughters: Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda. Georgina has also helped raise Ronaldo's three children from previous relationships. Even during the heartbreaking loss of their twin sons in 2022, they are said to have supported each other and protected their family, with Georgina describing it as "the greatest pain a parent can feel."
