Cristiano Ronaldo showed his softer side on Monday, sharing a heartfelt birthday message to his partner Georgina Rodriguez as she celebrated turning 31. The couple, who have been together for nearly a decade, marked the occasion with an intimate gym selfie, demonstrating their shared passion for fitness.
The Al-Nassr star took to social media with a touching tribute to Rodriguez, writing, "For the mother, partner, friend, my wife....Happy birthday, love. Your light illuminates us and your love is contagious." The post, accompanied by a cozy selfie of the pair, showcased their strong bond that has endured through various chapters of Ronaldo's illustrious career.
Rodriguez celebrated her special day in style, sharing glimpses of her birthday festivities on social media, including lavish presents and an elaborate birthday cake that highlighted the occasion's grandeur.
The birthday celebration offered a marked contrast to Ronaldo's demeanor just a day earlier during Al-Nassr's match. Despite contributing to his team's 3-1 victory with a goal, the Portuguese superstar had displayed visible frustration when another of his "beautiful" goals was disallowed for offside, leading to an animated reaction captured by cameras.
The football icon is expected to enjoy the remainder of Rodriguez's birthday celebrations before returning his focus to Al-Nassr's upcoming Saudi Pro League fixture. The team is set to face Al-Raed on Thursday, where Ronaldo will look to add to his impressive goal-scoring record in the competition.
