MUM’S THE WORD
Cristiano Ronaldo’s mum MISSED secret Georgina Rodriguez wedding as just 4 friends and kids see ceremony at £30m mansion
CRISTIANO RONALDO and Georgina Rodriguez got married at their new £30MILLION mansion near Lisbon in front of just FOUR witnesses and their children.
Cristiano’s doting mum Dolores Aveiro and his three siblings Hugo, Elma and Katia, were NOT present at the intimate civil ceremony which took place at 1.30pm on Tuesday.
Registrar Maria Manuel Ferreira de Campos Folhadela de Oliveira travelled from the northern Portuguese city of Porto to Cascais to officiate the ceremony.
Georgina’s sister Ivana, Cristiano’s long-time friend Miguel Paixao and a Spanish couple named as Jose Rodriguez Sangil and his wife Monica Goncalez Martinez were the only witnesses.
And the star couple, who married exactly one year to the day after they announced their engagement on social media, have decided to keep their prenuptial assets separate despite tying the knot after a decade-long romance.
They signed a pre-nup agreement to define their property regime on August 10, a day before the ceremony at a public notary’s office in Lisbon.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s representatives had confirmed earlier this week the footballer and his long-time partner married on August 11 in an “intimate” ceremony in Cascais after the couple posted photos of them wearing their wedding rings on their Instagrams.
It followed speculation which turned out to be false that they were due to marry at Funchal Cathedral in Cristiano’s native island of Madeira on Saturday.
No details had emerged about where in Cascais they had wed or who exactly was at the ceremony apart from their children.
Overnight, respected Portuguese newspaper Jornal de Noticias published a copy of the marriage certificate showing it took place at Cristiano’s massive built-from-scratch mansion in the upmarket residential area of Quinta da Marina.
And it also evidenced the fact so few people were invited there appeared to be no place for Cristiano’s mum.
She had given the union her blessing shortly afterwards by posting a heart on her son’s Instagram in response to his wedding announcement.
The rest of his family were also missing apart from his five kids – Cristiano Jr, twins Eva Maria and Mateo, Alana and Bella.
Jose Rodriguez Sangil was described as a Spanish jeweller by Portuguese press.
The marriage document listed Cristiano’s full name and age of 41 as well as his birthplace and the names of his parents including his late father Jose Dinis.
The same details were listed for 32-year-old Georgina, born in the Argentinian capital Buenos Aires and referenced by her full name of Georgina Luisa Rodriguez Hernandez.
They will both keep their pre-marriage names, unlike in the UK where newly-married women normally take their husband’s surnames.
The marriage certificate was recorded as number 1,493 of this year but appears to have been listed at Porto’s Registry Office instead of Cascais which is the municipality where the wedding took place.
Cristiano and George are now back in Saudi Arabia where the Portuguese international plays his club football for Al Nassr.
The new season on Saturday.
