DUBAI: Argentine model and reality TV star Georgina Rodriguez, partner of one of the most famous faces in football, Cristiano Ronaldo, was seen supporting Portugal at the FIFA World Cup wearing a Qatari label. The 28-year-old opted for an elegant palm abaya designed by the contemporary brand 1309 Studios. However, she took to Instagram to post an emotional message after Ronaldo was dropped from the starting lineup for Portugal’s last-16 match against Switzerland, which they went on to win 6-1 to secure their place in the quarterfinals. “What a shame not to have been able to enjoy the best player in the world during the 90 minutes. The fans have not stopped claiming you and shouting your name,” she wrote on Instagram, alongside a picture of her wearing the abaya at the Lusail Stadium. The year 2022 began on an exciting note for the couple when Ronaldo lit up Dubai’s Burj Khalifa for Rodriguez’s birthday. Ronaldo took to Instagram to share a video of the light-and-laser show at the world’s tallest building during which a clip from Rodriquez’s latest Netflix docu-series, “I Am Georgina,” was showcased. He captioned the video in Portuguese: “Many congratulations, my love,” along with a heart-and-cake emoji. The light-and-laser show also featured a birthday message for the 28-year-old and a photo of her wearing an off-shoulder black dress, alongside the text “Happy Birthday Geo” in white lettering. Earlier this year, Rodriguez gave birth to twins, Bella and a son. However, the couple’s son did not survive. The football star and his partner said in a joint statement at the time: “It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parent can feel. Only the birth of our baby girl gives us strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness. “We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support. We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time. Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.” The couple also have a four-year-old daughter, Alana Martina. Ronaldo is also father to Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., Eva Maria Dos Santos and Mateo Ronaldo.
