When CR7 stepped into the Gucci store in Madrid (Spain), Georgina Rodriguez felt like time stopped. The soccer superstar also fell in love with the saleswoman at first sight.

The media still compares the meeting between player Cristiano Ronaldo ( CR7 ) and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez as “like a miracle”.

In 2016, Rodriguez worked for a Gucci store in Serrano – a famous shopping street in Madrid, Spain. Her work went smoothly until one day, the person honored as “a contemporary legend of world football” stopped by.

“I have never met anyone so handsome and considerate. He is the most attractive man I have ever seen,” Rodriguez told  Elle magazine about the moment he met CR7 .

It was “love at first sight”, the couple quickly started dating, opening a fairy tale love story that lasted nearly a decade.

CR7 once admitted: “At first, I didn’t think this relationship would be that strong. Honestly, I didn’t expect it. But after a while, I felt like she was the woman of my life.” “.

Rodriguez did not expect that his life would turn a new page from then on.

The poor girl’s spectacular life change

Georgina Rodriguez (𝐛𝐨𝐫𝐧 1994) grew up in a small village in the city of Jaca, northern Spain. She always wanted to become a ballet dancer, but her family could not afford to send her to school. Rodriguez just had to wrap up his dreams and think of another path for the future.

When he grew up, Rodriguez went to the city and worked as a waiter. Feeling tired of living in poverty, she moved to the city of San Sebastian (Spain) and found a job as a store assistant.

Not accepting her fate, Rodriguez understood that to develop her career, she needed to learn English. At the age of 17, the Spanish girl moved to the city of Bristol (UK) as an “au pair” (living and studying with a host family abroad for 1-2 years without spending too much). expense). Here, she earns about 10 pounds (more than 350,000 VND) per hour.

When he saw that his foreign language s𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁s were good, Rodriguez went to Madrid to pursue a career in sales. Even though she comes into contact with luxury brands and expensive designs every day, she is reeling from the terrible financial pressure weighing on her shoulders.

At his most exhausted, Rodriguez had to live in what used to be a storage room. She struggled all year long without being able to afford heating and air conditioning, so in the winter it was freezing cold, and in the summer it was like being put in an oven.

Fate helped Rodriguez meet CR7 at a Gucci store when he had just ended a 5-year relationship with female model Irina Shayk. After a rather awkward encounter, the two met again at  the  Dolce & Gabbana fashion brand event and chatted more comfortably.

When the couple officially dated, CR7 often took his girlfriend to work in a luxury car. “Many days, he came after work. The time he showed up in a Bugatti, my colleagues “got fever”. They went to work by bus, and I left in a luxury car. Everyone can’t. I can believe it,” Rodriguez recalled.

At the 2017 Best FIFA Football Awards ceremony   in Zurich (Switzerland), CR7 publicly appeared with the woman who holds his heart. After that, a large number of fans flocked to where Rodriguez worked out of curiosity, causing her to switch from the Gucci store to Prada. In the end, the store was forced to fire CR7’s girlfriend to have peace of mind.

In May 2017, CR7 posted a romantic photo with Rodriguez, officially announcing his relationship with her. From a poor girl, Rodriguez became the shadow of a famous soccer star, raising 𝘤𝘩𝘪𝘭𝘥ren with him and living in luxury.

Luxurious life, claiming to be a self-made millionaire

Georgina Rodriguez has never denied that she “turned into a swan” when she fell in love with CR7. With the reputation of being the “other half” of the world’s first football billionaire, she appeared in many campaigns for a series of   high-end fashion brands such as Guess, Chanel, Gucci, Prada.

In 2021, Rodriguez launched her own clothing line. She also joined the ranks of WAGs (player wives or girlfriends) with the most followers on social networks, with the current number being 59.6 million.

All of the dramatic changes in Rodriguez’s life have happened in just the past eight years. From being a salesman who went to work by bus, Rodriguez is now one step closer to getting into a luxury car, traveling  by  private jet, owning an expensive designer wardrobe and a jewelry collection worth millions of dollars…

Rodriguez currently holds assets of about 12 million USD (more than 305 billion VND). She affirmed that she is a self-made millionaire thanks to her hard work, “without having to spend even a penny” on her boyfriend’s money.

“My relationship with him has allowed me to realize many of my dreams. But before and after meeting him, I always put passion into everything I do, whether it’s waiting tables, cleaning cleaner, salesperson or model. I support women’s rights and believe in equal opportunities,” the 30-year-old WAG expressed.
