Rodríguez is a Spanish model who was born in Argentina on 27 January 1994. She grew up in the city of Jaca, near the French border, and reportedly moved in with a family in Bristol, England, to work as an au pair.
After studying English in London, Rodríguez switched career paths to pursue modelling and social media influencing.
The two met at a Gucci store in Madrid, where Rodríguez was working as a shop assistant
Rodríguez recalled being very nervous when she first met the footballer.
She said: “His height, his body, his beauty caught my attention. I was trembling in front of him, but a spark ignited.
“I am very shy and perhaps this stirred me more in front of a person who, with one glance, had touched me very deeply.
“Then after, the way Cristiano treats me, cares for me and loves me did the rest.”
However, entering into a relationship with one of the highest profile footballers in the world wasn’t always plain sailing.
“The situation became unbearable,” Rodríguez told Grazia. “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.”
Do they have children?
Ronaldo and Rodríguez welcomed their first child together on 12 November 2017, their daughter named Alana Martina.
In October of last year, the couple announced that they were expecting a pair of twins. They announced the news on Instagram with a photo of the ultrasound scans.
He wrote: “Delighted to announce we are expecting twins. Our hearts are full of love – we can’t wait to meet you #blessed.”
