Cristiano Ronaldo to wed Georgina Rodríguez in Madeira as she confronts body‑shaming criticism

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are expected to marry on Saturday, 8 August 2026, in the Portuguese island of Madeira. Reports say the ceremony will be held at the Cathedral of Funchal at 15:00, followed by a reception at the five‑star Savoy Palace hotel, which has blocked two floors and several bar areas for the weekend. The couple, who have been together since 2016 and announced their engagement in August 2025, have not issued an official confirmation, but multiple media outlets cite The Sun and local Portuguese sources as the basis for the planned date and venue.

In the days leading up to the wedding, Georgina Rodríguez used Instagram to address a wave of body‑shaming comments after posting vacation photos. She wrote, “My body will change, like all women’s bodies, and I hope it keeps changing for many years because that means I keep living.” She added that the value of a person is not determined by appearance. Ronaldo replied, “You don’t live by your image. You live by who you are – a perfect woman, beautiful, with an incredible body, a mother, a good person, successful and full of love.” The exchange highlighted the couple’s public stance on self‑acceptance and the pressures faced by women in the spotlight.
