Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly pays his partner Georgina Rodriguez €100,000 a month
Portugal Captain and Manchester United star Cristiano Ronaldo reportedly pays his girlfriend Georgina Rodreguez €100,000 per month, which equates to around £80,000.The salary is for "expenses and child care", as Georgina, 28, looks after all four children whilst Cristiano is away.The couple share one daughter Alana, 4, and are expecting twins.
Cristiano is also the father of eldest son Cristiano Jr, 11, and twins Eva, 4, and Mateo, 4.The biological mothers of his other children are unknown, however Georgina acts as a mother figure for them all.Cristiano and Georgina first met when she was working as a shop assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid.She told Grazia magazine: "His height, his body, his beauty caught my attention.
I was trembling in front of him, but a spark ignited," recalled the 26-year-old model. "I am very shy and perhaps this stirred me more in front of a person who, with one glance, had touched me deeply. Then after, the way Cristiano treats me, cares for me and loves me did the rest."
Speaking about the media attention that arose from her relationship, she said: "The situation became unbearable. People were chasing me. They called me on the phone, reporters came to the boutique pretending to be customers ... Little by little I started working behind the counter to curb the aggressive curiosity of the press."At one time it was unsustainable: I changed, but still they were all over me. I can't go out safely because there is always someone who wants to photograph me. That's why I always have to worry about my safety."
Despite the challenges, she is grateful to be Cristiano's partner."He is the only one who manages to excite me during a game," Georgina said. "I am fortunate to be the partner of the best football player of all time. When he is on the field I experience an infinite number of emotions. He doesn't have any rivals." Georgina now has 36.6million Instagram followers. She recently released a Netflix documentary 'I Am Georgina' about her life and makes many appearances and brand deals.
