Portuguese star Cristiano Ronaldo has humorously dismissed rumors about his wedding to partner Georgina Rodriguez at the Funchal Cathedral in Madeira, which reportedly was to take place on Saturday.
Speculation had been rife in recent hours, with widespread reports suggesting that the Saudi Al-Nassr captain was preparing to marry Georgina in his hometown, despite no official announcement from the couple or their families.
The rumor sparked significant anticipation in Madeira, drawing hundreds of people to gather in front of Funchal Cathedral, hoping to catch a glimpse of Ronaldo and Georgina or even sneak a photo from the alleged wedding.
Local site "JM Madeira" fueled the speculation by reporting the large crowds outside the Cathedral, reinforcing the belief that Ronaldo’s wedding was indeed taking place.
However, the Portuguese icon stepped in to settle the debate by commenting on the site’s Instagram post with a series of laughing emojis, humorously indicating that the wedding rumors were untrue.
It was revealed later that the gatherings outside the Cathedral were indeed for a wedding but not Ronaldo and Georgina’s; rather, it was for another local couple.
Through his light-hearted response, Ronaldo has put to rest the whirlwind of speculation that engulfed social media, turning the myth of his wedding into an event that captivated hundreds in his hometown.
