Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez may be just days away from tying the knot. After last week’s rumours that had pointed to a wedding on the first weekend of August failed to materialise, speculation now appears to be drawing to a close and the ceremony could in fact take place this Saturday.
According to The Sun (source in Portuguese), the Portuguese star and his partner of 10 years have chosen Madeira, the footballer’s home island, as the setting for their wedding. The religious ceremony is reportedly scheduled for next Saturday at Funchal Cathedral.
The church is said to have been booked for a large wedding next Saturday, according to local reports cited by the British newspaper, which adds that weddings at the cathedral usually start at 3 p.m.
The couple are also reported to have booked the Savoy Palace, a five-star hotel located close to the cathedral, for the wedding reception.
“Hotel guests have been told that two floors will be out of use on Friday and Saturday, as well as several bar areas”, a source told The Sun.
The 41-year-old Portuguese footballer and the Argentine-Spanish model and influencer, 32, met in 2016 and got engaged last August. The wedding date has remained a mystery, with the Portugal captain only revealing that it would be after the World Cup.
Once the World Cup was over, with Portugal going no further than the last 16, the buzz around the wedding began to grow. The weekend of 1 and 2 August was tipped as the most likely date, as Al-Nassr begin their season on 15 August and Ronaldo will have to return to Saudi Arabia.
However, last week the couple were photographed on holiday in Mallorca with their children, and the rumours that the wedding was imminent were quickly quashed.
