Social media is abuzz with the story of strained ties between soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez.
The due may appear to have the perfect relationship. However, according to the Portuguese television program 'Noite das Estrelas', the Al-Nassr superstar is fed up with his girlfriend's attitude.
The couple has been in a relationship since 2016 when Georgina Rodriguez caught the eye of Cristiano Ronaldo at a Gucci store in Madrid. Rodriguez used to work as a saleswoman, while the five-time Ballon d'Or winner was plying his trade at Real Madrid.
A journalist, Daniel Nascimento of Noite das Estrelas, said “I’ve been saying it for months. They are not doing well, and it is likely that they will split up. The reality is that CR7 is fed up with her. That’s the reality. I still say there will be no wedding. They are together to feed the product,” Daniel Nascimento added.
“Ronaldo’s recent behaviour shows two things: that his personal life is not in a moment of happiness and that the more he distances himself from his mother, Dolores Aveiro, the less tempered he is. And we all know why he is increasingly distant from his family,” said Quintino.
Nascimento also claimed that the Al Nassr's player is not happy. "Georgina spends her days in a shopping centre in Riyadh and that’s one of the reasons why Cristiano is starting to find this story not funny. She just spends and spends and spends. And worst of all, she thinks she’s on Cristiano’s level. She’s putting herself on a pedestal and he’s not liking it at all," he added.
However, one of Ronaldo's friends defended the couple by saying that they are always "doing well".
“I can affirm from a 100% reliable source that they are as always doing very well. This is just stories, gossip, made up by people who can’t stand Gio. They are a couple who have love to give and give away," said Filipa Castro.
Cristiano Ronaldo is the biggest name in the professional sport and his social media fan following is untouchable. He is the most followed celebrity on Instagram and has millions of followers on Twitter and Facebook. Ronaldo's supremacy on the field has seen him become a household name and he is the highest-earning footballer at present.
