Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have made their first public appearance since quietly exchanging vows in a covert ceremony.

The couple, who became engaged a year ago, celebrated their nuptials in a ‘private and intimate’ setting just last week, with their five children on hand to witness the special moment.

The newlyweds, alongside their children, were spotted enjoying the view from the VIP box at the Al-Awwal Park in Riyadh, during the Saudi Pro League match between Al-Nassr and Al-Fateh.

The 41-year-old football legend, Ronaldo, was off the field, still regaining his rhythm with the team following a hiatus due to the World Cup—a break further extended by his recent wedding in Portugal.

Meanwhile, Georgina, who is 32, exuded relaxed style in a satin bomber jacket. She was spotted in full mom mode as she comfortably held Alana, eight, while twins Eva and Mateo, nine, engaged with the game.

Ronaldo, meanwhile, looked tense as he watched the game unfold but was pictured clapping at one point.  

The footballer shared that he and Georgina had tied the knot after ten years together by sharing a snap of their wedding bands on Instagram.

He captioned the post: ‘C❤️G.’

A representative for Ronaldo also confirmed news of the union, saying: ‘Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez were married today in a civil ceremony in Cascais, Portugal, and are now officially husband and wife. 

‘The ceremony was a private and intimate moment attended by their five children.’

Jornal de Noticias published a copy of the couple’s marriage certificate late on Thursday, saying only four witnesses were present as well as their children.

Cristiano’s mother Dolores Aveiro and his three siblings Hugo, Elma and Katia, were not present at the intimate civil ceremony.

His family found out he was marrying his long-term girlfriend just moments before he married Georgina, a local report has claimed.

It was Portuguese television presenter Cristina Ferreira who claimed the footballer’s family’s absence from his big day will ’cause problems’.

Speaking on TVI programme Dois at ten, she said: ‘It will cause a lot of problems because the family wasn’t present.

‘And they shouldn’t even have known. Or if they did know, it was 30 seconds beforehand.’

Claudio Ramos added on the programme: ‘I really hope that what we said here, which had to do with the impressions we get from what exists on social media, did not actually cause sadness in the family, that things were not as they apparently seem.’

Dolores, who has had to refute claims over the years of a bad relationship with her daughter-in-law, gave her blessing to the star couple’s union.

Shortly after they announced they were married she posted a heart emoticon on Cristiano’s official social media alongside the snap he published of their rings.

Cristiano’s sister Katia, who is based in Brazil but travelled to her native Madeira at the weekend to meet family and friends, did the same.

She has yet to address reports she and other members of Cristiano’s family were absent from the Cascais wedding ceremony.

Georgina’s sister Ivana, Cristiano’s long-time friend Miguel Paixao and a Spanish couple named as Jose Rodriguez Sangil and his wife Monica Goncalez Martinez were the only witnesses.

Registrar Maria Manuel Ferreira de Campos Folhadela de Oliveira travelled from the northern Portuguese city of Porto to Cascais to officiate the ceremony.

And the star couple, who married exactly one year to the day after they announced their engagement on social media, have decided to keep their pre-nuptial assets separate despite tying the knot after a decade-long romance.

They signed a pre-nup agreement to define their property regime on August 10 a day before the ceremony at a public notary’s office in Lisbon.

Recently, Novak Djokovic has publicly addressed a health condition he previously kept under wraps, following a dramatic collapse at the Cincinnati Open on Saturday.

The tennis legend, who boasts an impressive 24 Grand Slam titles, was seen dropping to his knees and seeking medical attention amidst the stifling heat and humidity.

Despite clearly struggling, Djokovic refused to bow out of the match, though his performance fell short of the vigor he displayed when he clinched the first set in the second-round face-off.

Eventually, Argentine player Thiago Tirante outlasted him in the grueling conditions, securing a victory with scores of 2-6, 6-4, 6-4.

This intense contest, which lasted over two and a half hours, marked Djokovic’s return to the court after his defeat to Jannik Sinner in the Wimbledon semi-finals over a month ago.

The 39-year-old claimed the opening set with little fuss.

He won a brutal 18-minute third game of the second, saving four break points over nine deuces but bending over in distress between points and even dropping to his hands and knees after one particularly gruelling exchange.

Djokovic took a medical timeout after that game, with the trainer and then a doctor coming on court to assist with assessments and ice towels.

After Tirante took the second set, both players cooled off in the locker room. Slightly revived, Djokovic set the pace again in the deciding set.

But it all went wrong in the ninth game, when Djokovic saved three break points before getting it wrong on a drop shot to bring up a fourth break chance that his opponent converted.

Tirante clinched the biggest win of his career in the next game as Djokovic again failed to land a drop shot on match point.

The Serb, who must now try to regroup before the US Open starts on August 30, admitted he might have played his last match in Cincy.

“It looks like I won’t be back, unfortunately, to play here,” he said, confirming that the sweltering weather got the better of him.

“It was a combination of the heat and humidity, all those things,” he said.

“Everything involved makes it worse.”

There were scary scenes when Djokovic appeared to vomit into a towel while sitting in his chair.

The three-time Cincinnati champion was even more honest speaking to international reporters after the match where he revealed he has been managing an undisclosed health condition for multiple years.️

“First and foremost, I congratulate my opponent today,” he said.

“Honestly, it hasn’t been a pleasant match for me. That’s how I’ve felt. It hasn’t been the first time, and it won’t be the last. That’s just how it is.

“The conditions aren’t the problem. It’s because of a health issue I have. I’ve been dealing with it for many years now. It causes me a lot of problems, especially when there’s a lot of humidity and heat.

“I️ knew these conditions were going to affect me, but there are other things too: the nerves and everything that comes with a match like this. All of that makes the situation worse, and that’s what happened.”

Elsewhere, Seventh seed Flavio Cobolli, runner-up at the French Open, defeated Miomir Kecmanovic 6-1, 4-6, 6-3.

Martin Landaluce beat Matteo Arnaldi 6-4, 4-6, 6-4 to reach a third-round clash against Tirante.

In the WTA draw, Philippines sensation Alexandra Eala advanced to the third round 6-1, 3-0 as injured Elena-Gabriela Rusequit their match during a weather delay.

The Romanian had received treatment on her right ankle just before play was halted by a thunderstorm.

During the 90-minute delay, Ruse pulled the plug on her effort, sending ninth seed Eala through.

Eala, the emerging WTA star who captured her first WTA title in Washington this month, will next play Amanda Anisimova after the American ninth seed beat Turk Zeynep Sonmez 6-2, 6-3.
