Rumors of Cristiano Ronaldo's (41, Al Nassr) wedding were false. Although initial reports suggested a surprise wedding with venue and hotel reservations confirmed, it turned out to be the wedding of an entirely different couple.

British outlet 'The Sun' reported on the 9th (Korean time): "2,000 fans gathered in front of the cathedral in Madeira, Portugal, mistakenly believing they were attending Ronaldo's wedding with his fiancée Georgina Rodriguez, causing a commotion as they swarmed the actual bride and groom."

Previously, 'The Sun' announced that Ronaldo planned to hold his wedding ceremony with fiancée Georgina in his hometown of Madeira. The news that the cathedral and exclusive spaces at the nearby five-star Savoy Palace Hotel had been reserved pushed local excitement to its peak.

Rumors even spread that Ronaldo and Georgina, who spent their childhoods in the area, had booked the cathedral under pseudonyms. As a result, fans wearing Ronaldo jerseys with the number 7 and numerous media crews filled the site, creating a sea of people.

However, the actual bride and groom appearing at the cathedral were a Portuguese couple from Madeira who reside in France.

The bride was surrounded by thousands of fans who had rushed to the scene and struggled to enter the church. According to 'The Sun,' guests on the bride's side helped her gain entry by shouting at fans taking photos, "This is not Georgina!" One guest said, "I don't understand why everyone mistakes Fabio for Ronaldo. The bride was very angry because she feared this commotion would ruin the wedding."

Father Marcos Goncalves of the cathedral also dismissed the rumors, stating: "Only one wedding is being held here today. There was no reservation by Ronaldo, nor does it appear he will marry here anytime soon."

Although the situation seemed to settle, Ronaldo's sister, Katia Aveiro, reignited speculation by posting a video of herself arriving at Madeira Airport to meet her mother. Additionally, officials from the Savoy Palace Hotel revealed they had been informed that "Ronaldo's side reserved the top two floors," leading to further speculation that an actual wedding ceremony would follow.

As the controversy spread on social media services (SNS), Ronaldo responded to the video with a laughing emoji comment, treating the incident as a harmless prank.

Ronaldo has been in a relationship with Georgina, whom he first met at a luxury store in Madrid, Spain, in 2016, for nearly a decade. They have two daughters together, and Ronaldo is raising them alongside his three other children from previous relationships. Ronaldo had previously stated he would hold his wedding after the conclusion of the 2026 FIFA Men's World Cup in North America. Currently, with the new season at Saudi Arabia's Al Nassr approaching, he has returned to his hometown after spending a vacation in Mallorca and other parts of Europe.
