Cristiano Ronaldo’s fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, made a striking appearance at the White House on Tuesday, donning a sophisticated backless outfit for a prominent dinner event.
Rodriguez, aged 31, was among the notable personalities present at President Donald Trump’s dinner, held to honor Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman during his visit to the United States.
The Argentine model and influencer, who became engaged to the 40-year-old soccer icon earlier this year, captivated attendees with her elegant hairstyle and sleek gown.
The couple was spotted sharing the spotlight in a group photo taken in the East Room of the White House, alongside tech giants like Elon Musk and Greg Brockman.
Ronaldo, a football superstar, has previously been romantically linked to several well-known figures, including Kim Kardashian, Irina Shayk, and Paris Hilton.
The trip marked Ronaldo’s first photographed appearance in the United States since 2017.

Ronaldo, 40, recently told Piers Morgan he was hopeful Trump could make inroads toward world peace.
‘If the world is at peace, that’s our goal,’ Ronaldo told Morgan, adding that he feels Trump ‘is one of the people who can change or help change the world.
‘And that’s my main objective: To meet Trump and talk about world peace.’
Ronaldo told Morgan, ‘If you can make it happen, he’s someone I’d really like to sit down with.’
Ronaldo, who has been active in soccer for more than two decades, has ties to the Saudi crown via his status as a player on the Al-Nassr club team in the Saudi Pro League.
The soccer veteran, who has also played abroad in England, Spain and Italy, is the league’s highest-paid player.
Rodríguez and the soccer player initially crossed paths in 2017 while she was working at a Gucci store in Madrid, and was asked to stay late and help a special client who turned out to be the soccer player.
Rodríguez told Vogue Arabia in May about meeting her future fiancé: ‘I felt something inside that can’t be explained, as if we had known each other all our lives. I remember that when we held hands for the first time, I felt inexplicable peace and energy.
‘When people are in love like we are, they know what that strong connection is. That spark we had since we met has also grown and matured over time.’

The black-tie event marked the first time in seven years that Prince Mohammed has been to the United States following the 2018 killing of Washington Post journalist Jamal Khashoggi.
Authorities with US intelligence agencies said that the killing was ordered by the Saudi royal, who denied it.
In the immediate wake of the murder of Khashoggi, a number of prominent Western business figures and politicians avoided attending the global investment conference in Saudi Arabia.
That did not hold up for long, as the following year, many of the business world’s most prominent names attended the event in Riyadh.
