Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez’s Love Story Called into Question
A former close friend of the Argentine model and influencer broke the silence and questioned the story of how her relationship with the Portuguese star began.
What’s the hearsay?
A former friend of Georgina Rodríguez has cast doubt on the romantic story the influencer and Cristiano Ronaldo have shared for years about how they met. According to statements made on the Spanish TV show Fiesta, their love story may not have been as spontaneous or fairy-tale-like as it’s been portrayed. In fact, he claims Georgina didn’t meet CR7 at a luxury store, as commonly believed, but rather at Opium Madrid, one of the capital’s trendiest nightclubs.

His claims have stirred up social media—not just for contradicting the official version, but for implying that the relationship could have happened with any celebrity. “If it hadn’t been Cristiano, it would’ve been someone else,” he said. That one sentence has sparked speculation and revived criticism around Georgina’s true intentions when meeting the football icon.
“She knew who she was looking for”
According to this former friend, Georgina had a clear idea of the type of man she was after. “She liked footballers and knew how to move in those circles,” he revealed. He also claimed that by the time she met Ronaldo, she was already accustomed to the world of luxury and spotlight—so it was no surprise that she ended up dating one of the most famous men on the planet.
This account clashes with the narrative Georgina has shared in documentaries and interviews, where she portrays herself as a humble, hard-working young woman whose only goal was to support her family. Her ex-friend’s version suggests a far more calculated and less innocent story.
Will Georgina respond?
So far, neither Georgina nor Cristiano has publicly commented on the accusations. Still, it wouldn’t be surprising if the influencer addresses the claims subtly through social media or in her next public appearance.
The couple has faced various rumors in recent months, and this latest controversy only adds to the growing media pressure. For some, it’s just another chapter in the celebrity life they’ve chosen; for others, it’s a crack in the carefully curated fairy tale image they’ve built together.
