Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have announced that they will marry in Madeira, CR7’s home island, in an event expected to take place in the summer of 2026, shortly after the end of the national team’s competition calendar. The choice has generated wide coverage in both Portuguese and international media — not only for the glamour surrounding the couple, but also for the deep personal significance the location holds for the player.
The religious ceremony is set to take place at the Sé Cathedral in Funchal, followed by celebrations at a luxury hotel on the island, reinforcing the couple’s desire for a sophisticated yet intimate event.
The estimated cost of the wedding is remarkable: reports suggest it could reach up to US$50 million, fuelling speculation about high-profile guests such as David and Victoria Beckham, Rafael Nadal and Neymar, according to outlets that track celebrity rumours.
For Ronaldo, marrying in Madeira carries powerful symbolism: it represents a return to his deepest roots and a way of celebrating his rise alongside the community that shaped his early life. For Georgina, who is originally from Spain, the choice to wed on Madeiran soil highlights both her commitment to Ronaldo and her step into a new chapter of shared life.
There is also interest in the tone the couple intends to set: sources suggest Georgina prefers something more reserved, far from excessive spectacle — which could result in an elegant, emotional and meticulously planned celebration.
On social media and in the press, the news has sparked reflections on power and public image in the life of one of the world’s most recognisable sporting figures. Their wedding is seen not only as a personal milestone, but as a symbolic opportunity to build a family legacy that blends fame, success and public intimacy.
It is an emblematic moment: one that brings together fashion, celebrity, roots and image strategy. The choice of Madeira reinforces that behind CR7’s shine stands a man who looks to his origins with affection — and who intends to honour them in grand style, but with genuine meaning.
