The intimate ceremony, held in their living room, marked a personal milestone, as it also celebrated the tenth anniversary of their initial meeting in a Gucci store. Ronaldo, 41, and Rodríguez, 32, chose this private setting to exchange vows, as they wanted to reflect the essence of their everyday lives. Speaking about their choice, Rodríguez described their living room as the place where they share daily meals and experiences, making it the perfect backdrop for their wedding.
In an interview with Vogue, Rodríguez elaborated on the personal significance of their chosen venue. She expressed a desire for their children to remember this special moment, saying, “In 30 years’ time, I want the children to think, ‘Something wonderful happened at this table — the wedding vows of our parents.’” For them, the ceremony was not only a celebration of their love but also an enchanting family affair where their children played vital roles.
Ronaldo and Rodríguez were accompanied by their five children during the ceremony: twins Eva Maria and Mateo, aged nine, their eight-year-old daughter Alana, four-year-old Bella, and Ronaldo’s 16-year-old son Cristiano Jr., from a previous relationship. The presence of the children made the occasion particularly memorable, emphasising the importance of family in their lives.
Interestingly, Rodríguez shared how her vision of a dream wedding transformed over the years. As a child, she had envisioned a grandiose affair with castles and extravagant details. However, upon reflection, she realised that a significant celebration needs not the opulence often depicted in fairy tales; instead, she prioritised an intimate atmosphere shared with her closest loved ones. “I want something intimate, with my partner and our children, at home,” she shared, highlighting the uniqueness of their decision.
Following the ceremony, Rodríguez conveyed her satisfaction with how the day unfolded. “It was exactly as I’d imagined it,” she remarked, describing the event as “intimate, full of love, and with our family in the most important starring role.” The emotional weight of the day was palpable, and she admitted, “I couldn’t hold back the tears.”
Despite their nuptials, the couple is not quite finished with their wedding celebrations. They revealed plans for a more elaborate wedding in the future, one that would allow them to celebrate with friends and family on a larger scale. Ronaldo noted that although they would miss destinations and luxurious settings, the couple felt a “big wedding” was still on the horizon.
The couple has decided to forgo a honeymoon trip immediately following their wedding, as Ronaldo was scheduled to begin his season with Al-Nassr in Riyadh the very next day. Nevertheless, he affectionately stated, “Every day is a honeymoon” with Rodríguez, indicating the depth of his feelings and the joy he finds in their partnership.
Ronaldo and Rodríguez seem to view their marriage as a natural evolution of their relationship rather than a fundamental change. Both emphasised that their bond remains strong and solid, although Ronaldo acknowledged that being legally married moves them into a “different league.” The couple, who have shared nearly a decade together, appears ready to embrace this new status while continuing their journey of love and family.
Indeed, their relationship is marked by mutual respect and a shared vision of family life, characteristics that many observe as integral to their success as partners. As they prepare for future celebrations, it is clear that both Ronaldo and Rodríguez value the beauty of love found in the simplicity of everyday life, highlighted during their intimate home ceremony.
