Cristiano Ronaldo set the record straight amid rumors that he and longtime girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez got secretly married in Morocco as initially reported by Italian Magazine Novella 2000 on Wednesday. Through sources close to the football superstar, the said reports are dismissed after being referred to as “fake news.”

The speculation came out just weeks after the Portuguese icon hints on marrying the 25-year-old Rodriguez and even said that the “big day” will be the fulfillment of his mother’s dream, according to The Daily Mail.

"Of course, I’m in love with her. ‘We’ll be (married) one day, for sure. It’s my mum’s dream as well,” Cristiano Ronaldo said. "So, one day. Why not? It’s great. She’s my friend. We have conversations. I open the heart for her and she opens the heart for me."

Tying the knot with someone as prominent as the 34-year-old sports figure “is not easy,” the former shop assistant Rodriguez bared. But never did she complain as she said, “I would not change it for the world." In her recent shoot for a lingerie brand, she revealed the kind of feeling she has towards her famous boyfriend, “What I feel for him is stronger than anything, any kind of pressure.

Further, in the report by the Daily Mail, it is said that Rodriguez “gushed about her romance with the Portuguese forward as she insisted that their first meeting was 'love at first sight’.”

The Spanish model Rodriguez is one celebrated image too as she has amassed a total of 14 million followers on her Instagram page. She and Ronaldo were last seen together at the MTV Europe Music Awards.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Rodriguez found destiny when they crossed paths at a Gucci store in Spain where the latter was working as a sales assistant. Days later, they met again at an event for a certain brand.

Cristiano Ronaldo is regarded as one of the greatest soccer players in history. He is ranked second behind Lionel Messi in the recent Forbes’ list of highest-paid athletes after he earned $108 million dollars last year and the most followed celebrity on Instagram with 190 million followers.
