Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner has offered fans an insight into the footballer’s softer side after sharing an intimate snap of the two on her official Instagram account.
Georgina Rodriguez, who has been in a public relationship with the football star since 2017, shared a picture of the pair out enjoying the Saudi Arabian weather accompanied by the caption:
“Happy days to the love of my life. In love with you and what we are together. x6 Blessings.”
As reported by the Sun, Eagled-eyed fans were quick to alert one another to the design printed onto the phone case of the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star, which can be seen on the table in front of the duo.
Whilst many may have expected the 38-year-old to opt for a design that celebrated his incredible footballing career, the Portuguese star has instead selected a heartwarming family photo that showcases his love for those closest to him.
It has since been discovered that the photo looks to be a reprint of a photo taken of Cristiano and his family on Georgina’s 28th birthday, one which Ronaldo’s partner shared on her Instagram back in January, 2022.
The photo, which can be seen below, shows Cristiano, Georgina and their four children celebrating Georgina’s birthday in Dubai, with a picturesque backdrop of the Middle Eastern skyline behind them.
Ronaldo and his family moved to Saudi Arabia earlier this year, after the five-time Ballon d’Or winner put pen to paper on a lucrative deal with Saudi Pro League outfit Al Nassr.
The switch came after Ronaldo saw his Manchester United contract terminated by mutual consent, just a week after an interview aired in which Ronaldo sat down with Piers Morgan and heavily criticised the club.
Ronaldo has made three competitive appearances for the Saudi-Pro League leaders since joining the club, and netted his first official goal as he dispatched a stoppage time penalty to secure a 2-2 draw away at Al Fateh.
Cristiano Ronaldo had a priceless reaction to being booed by Al Ittihad fans
Cristiano Ronaldo had an utterly priceless reaction to being booed by Al Ittihad fans as he captained Al Nassr for the top of the table clash.
First meets second in the Saudi Pro League’s ‘Superclasico’, with Al Nassr just two points clear ahead of the huge game at King Abdullah Sports City.
It was an away fixture for Nassr and the players were greeted by a huge tifo which read ‘Nightmare’ as they walked out the tunnel of the 62,000 capacity stadium.
But unsurprisingly there was an especially vocal reaction for five-time Ballon d’Or winner Ronaldo, who was even met with loud chants in favour of rival Lionel Messi as he warmed up.
Then, when his face flashed up on the big screen, he was loudly booed by the home supporters. But by now, the 38-year-old is more than accustomed to the jeers from opposition fans.
The Portuguese superstar smirked and smiled as he realised he was being booed, before coldly nodding his head.
Ronaldo, who has eight goals in six Saudi Pro League games, was taunted with Messi chants by Ittihad fans after Nassr lost 3-1 in the Saudi Super Cup semi-final in January.
He looked sharp in his early moments in his latest meeting with Ittihad, wowing fans with a filthy nutmeg.
Interestingly, the referee for the game is a familiar face for Ronaldo and his long-time rival Messi. Mateu Lahoz is taking charge of a game in the Saudi Pro League for the third time.
Messi called for FIFA to drop the Spaniard after he brandished 18 yellow cards in Argentina’s penalty shoot-out win over the Netherlands and he was then removed from the remaining four games.
Ronaldo also has a history with Lahoz, once grabbing his private parts and insulting him during an El Clasico fixture.
