Spanish model Georgina Rodriguez has adopted Portuguese football star Cristiano Ronaldo's three eldest children in a secret process following their recent wedding in Portugal.
According to Portuguese media, the 32-year-old influencer is now the official legal guardian of 16-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo Jr and nine-year-old twins Eva Maria and Mateo.
The couple chose to complete the paperwork in privacy through secret adoptions, officialising Rodriguez as the adoptive mother just one week after exchanging wedding vows.
Ronaldo, 41, holds full custody of his eldest son, whose biological mother's identity remains private, as well as his twins, who were born via a surrogate mother. The couple also share two biological children together: Alana, born in 2017, and Bella Esmeralda, born in 2022. Bella Esmeralda's twin brother tragically passed away during childbirth.
Legal guardianship and family bond
Since beginning her relationship with the veteran footballer, Rodriguez has maintained a close bond with all of his children and has consistently treated them as her own.
The Daily Mail has approached representatives for both Rodriguez and Ronaldo for comment regarding the adoption proceedings.
Rodriguez recently hinted at becoming Cristiano Jr's adoptive mother after calling him her son in a sweet Instagram post celebrating a family trip earlier this month.
Writing on social media, she stated: "Fairy tale Baptism. It was always my dream to bathe in a waterfall. Junior, a sculptor, and his talent in everything he sets his mind to. Since he was little, this trip has been our special time. Dad, Mom, and him, together at sea, summer after summer. Cris the explorer, Cris and the moon, Seafood tastes even better at sea. This year we've discovered many coves."
Living room wedding ceremony
The adoption process follows the couple's quiet wedding ceremony earlier this month at their residence in Portugal. The billionaire athlete wore a T-shirt paired with a suit jacket as they exchanged vows in their living room.
The intimate ceremony took place on the tenth anniversary of the day they first met while Rodriguez was working as a shop assistant at a Gucci luxury store in Madrid, Spain.
Defying widespread speculation about a lavish event, the couple kept the nuptials minimal, moving from their house to a nearby church where Rodriguez could not hold back her tears.
Speaking to Vogue for the magazine's Summer digital issue, Rodriguez explained their decision to wed at home: "We've chosen to do it in the living room of our house here where we have breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and where we live the reality of our lives... In 30 years' time I want the children to think, something wonderful happened at this table - the wedding vows of our parents."
Recalling her childhood expectations, she added: "When I was a little girl I dreamt of the biggest castle, the biggest carriage, the longest dress, a crown full of diamonds. And now I'm saying: no. I want something intimate, with my partner and our children, at home."
Future celebrations and Gucci outfits
Despite choosing a private home setting for their initial vows, Rodriguez confirmed in the Vogue interview that they plan to hold a big wedding in the future to celebrate with their wider family and friends, though she did not elaborate on specific dates or locations.
The couple also explained that their decision to wear outfits from Italian luxury brand Gucci was a deliberate full circle moment, honoring the moment they met at the Gucci store in Spain ten years earlier.
Ronaldo officially announced their marriage to fans by sharing a photo of their wedding bands on Instagram after ten years together, captioning the image simply: "C❤️G."
