Cristiano Ronaldo’s wife, Georgina Rodríguez, is adopting his three older children. 

The couple got married a little over a week ago. 

Now, according to reports from the Portuguese press, Rodríguez is now adopting Ronaldo’s three kids and is being formally recognized as their mother. 

The reports described the proceedings as “secret adoptions,” as the couple is completing the necessary paperwork out of the public eye. 

Rodríguez has been with Ronaldo since 2016, and she has been active in his children’s lives, as he’s said she treats his children as if they were her own, which formed a close bond amongst the family. 

Before the couple got together, Ronaldo’s oldest son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. was born in 2010. His two twin daughters, Eva Maria and Mateo, were born in June 2017, from another woman. 

The same year his twin daughters were born, the couple Rodríguez became a first-time biological mother by giving birth to their daughter Alana Martina. The family once again expanded in 2022, with the birth of Bella Esmeralda.
