Cristiano Ronaldo’s fiancee Georgina Rodríguez hits back at body-shaming with bikini photo

Cristiano Ronaldo’s fiancee, Georgina Rodríguez, has hit back at body-shaming comments after photos captured her enjoying a day out on a yacht.

“My body will change, just as every woman’s does. And I hope it continues to do so for many years to come because that will mean I’m still living,” Rodríguez, 32, said on Instagram.

The model and influencer shared the paparazzi photos that led to negative comments, alongside a mirror selfie of herself in a white bikini.

“I am a mother to six wonderful children; three are girls who will one day be great women,” she continued, in a post translated from Spanish.

“And if there is one thing I wish to teach them – alongside Cris, who I am deeply proud of for the values he passes on as a father and as a man – it is that a person’s worth can never depend on their physical appearance or on the opinions of strangers.”

Rodríguez shared a conversation she had with Ronaldo, 41, after reading comments scrutinising her appearance.

“I told him, ‘I’m worried that they’re calling me fat now because I make a living from my image’,” she said.

“And he replied, ‘You don’t live off your image. You live off who you are. A perfect woman. Gorgeous, with a great body, a mother, a good person, successful and someone who lives life with love. What more could you want? It’s only natural they envy you.’ And we talked about many other things. Sometimes we all need someone to remind us of what truly matters.”

Rodríguez said the commentary was an annual event for her, but she wondered who got to decide what the “correct” body was.

“I love my curves. I love the freedom of living in the body I choose,” she said.

“In the body that supports me, that has allowed me to embrace, create life, fall and get back up again. A body that deserves respect, love and gratitude in all its versions.”

She said that for her, “true success is living in peace.”

“Surrounding myself with the people I love. Enjoying my family and friends. Looking after my health. Laughing. Learning. Living,” she concluded.

The clap back comes just days before the couple’s rumoured wedding day.

While details of their nuptials have been a closely kept secret, many believe the couple are set to tie the knot on August 8, at a church on the Portuguese island of Madeira, the soccer legend’s hometown.

Rodríguez and Ronaldo met in 2016 when she worked as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid.

They have a blended family, with Rodríguez acting as a mother to Ronaldo’s oldest son Cristiano Jr., 16, whose biological mother’s identity has never been revealed, and twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 9, born via surrogate shortly after they began dating.

Together, they are parents to eight-year-old Alana and four-year-old Bella. Bella’s twin brother, Angel, died during childbirth.

In August 2025, Rodríguez announced the couple’s engagement – with a massive diamond ring believed to be worth around $5 million.
