Georgina Rodríguez Hernández (born 27 January 1994) is an Argentine and Spanish social media personality, model, and entrepreneur. She rose to fame through her relationship with Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, which garnered her significant media attention and helped her build a massive following across Instagram and other social media channels. In addition to her success as a model, Georgina also pursued ventures in fashion, collaborating with high-end brands and launching her own clothing line. She was the subject of a 2022 Netflix documentary, I Am Georgina, in which she was credited as the producer.

Early life

Rodríguez was born in Buenos Aires, Argentina, to an Argentine father and a Spanish mother. Her father, Jorge Rodríguez, spent ten years in prison for drug trafficking in Spain in 2003. Her family initially lived with her paternal relatives. She has a half-sister and a full sister. When Rodríguez was one year old, her mother decided to return to Spain, and the family relocated to the northern Spanish city of Jaca, in the province of Huesca.

Rodríguez studied ballet from the age of four but quit as her family could not afford it. At 18, she moved to Madrid, where she worked retail jobs during the day and at a bar on weekends to support herself. She eventually secured a sales position at a Gucci store, where she would later meet Cristiano Ronaldo.

Career

Since achieving fame, Rodríguez built a career as a model and influencer, appearing in campaigns for Guess. She has also graced the covers of international editions of Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and Elle, and has been featured in editorials that highlight her unique style and global appeal.

In March 2024, Rodríguez walked on the runway at the Vetements Womenswear Fall/Winter 2024/2025 show at Paris Fashion Week, wearing a red dress with the number seven that resembled Ronaldo's jerseys during his time at Manchester United, Real Madrid, and Juventus.

Beyond modeling, Rodríguez has collaborated with major beauty brands, launched her own athleisure line, and starred in the Netflix docu-series “I Am Georgina”, which gave audiences a behind-the-scenes look at her life, career, and family. She has also used her platform to support various philanthropic efforts, particularly those related to children’s health and education.

Personal life

Rodríguez has been in a relationship with Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo since 2016, after meeting him at a Gucci retail store in Madrid, where she was working as a sales assistant. On 11 August 2025, she announced their engagement via Instagram.

Rodríguez and Ronaldo's first daughter was born in November 2017. In October 2021, the couple announced their second pregnancy. In April 2022, Rodríguez gave birth to twins, a boy and a girl, but the baby boy died during childbirth. In an Instagram post, Ronaldo and Rodríguez wrote "It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel". Ronaldo has three more children, a son born in June 2010 and twins born in June 2017. Rodríguez treats them all as her own children.
