I love Argentina not for Messi but for my girlfriend Georgina: Ronaldo
Real Madrid superstar Cristiano Ronaldo recorded a live video on Instagram on Tuesday. Ronaldo filmed alongside the mother of daughter Alana Martina, Georgina Rodriguez.
It’s less than two months before the 2018 World Cup begins in Russia.
Portugal are one of the dark horses for the competition, while Leo Messi will of course lead Argentina.
Given the bitter professional rivalry between Argentina ace Lionel Messi and Portugal star Cristiano Ronaldo, one would expect them to dislike each other and their nations alike.
So, it came as a surprise recently when Ronaldo revealed that he in fact, likes Argentina. Not because of Messi though, but because his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez was born in the South American country.
‘People think I don’t like Argentina, but I love it. My girlfriend is from this country. Many people don’t know this, but although Georgina grew up in Spain, she was born in Buenos Aires,’ Ronaldo said to his 124 million followers via an Instagram video on Wednesday, reports the Mid-Day.
The Real Madrid striker began dating Georgina in 2016 after meeting her for the first time in the VIP area of a Dolce & Gabbana event.
The couple have been going strong since and even welcomed a daughter, Alana Martina, together in November last year. Besides Alana, Ronaldo also has three kids, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr, and twins Mateo and Eva Maria Dos Santos.
