Georgina Rodriguez felt ’embarrassed’ to look at Ronaldo when they first met

Georgina Rodriguez has opened up about meeting Cristiano Ronaldo for the first time, revealing she had “butterflies in my stomach.”

The pair, who have been together since 2016, met while Rodriguez was working as a shop assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid. It was during Ronaldo’s success-laden spell with Real Madrid, meaning it wasn’t just trophies he won in the Spanish capital, but the love of his life too. Rodriguez has opened up about that love-struck first meeting, admitting she struggled to contain her emotions as she clapped eyes on one of the greatest footballers of all time.

“He’s such a handsome man,” she recalled, reported The Sun. “When I saw him, he was so handsome I felt embarrassed to look at him. Let’s just say it was butterflies in my stomach.”

In a previous interview about that first meeting, Rodriguez said it was a case of “love at first sight”.

“The first meeting with Ronaldo was at Gucci where I worked as a sales assistant. Days later we saw each other again at another brand's event,” she told Italy ELLE magazine in 2020.

“It was then we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside of my work environment. It was love at first sight for both.”

Rodriguez has become famous in her own right and has just released the second series of her Netflix show I Am Georgina.

In one episode, she let slip a saucy secret slip, revealing the couple have had sex in their spa. According to the Spanish news site Marca, Georgina said: “I had avoided bathing on the beach, but I came home and Cris told me to go to the spa. I was super grated with my arms up in the spa so they wouldn't get wet.

“I was fed up with having my arms like this. Also, in the pool at home I almost don't stand up and I say, ‘I give up’.

One of Ronaldo's pals, named Ivan, then realised what Georgina was suggesting, saying: “You could have made love in bed, not in the spa.” Georgina then blurted out: “No, we did it there.”

Realising what she'd just said, Georgina went quiet before her sister asked: “Did you make love in the spa?”

Ivan then jokingly added: “She has become nervous.”
