Cristiano Ronaldo rang in his 41st birthday surrounded by love, from his family at home to fans celebrating the special date from all corners of the world. The Al-Nassr player celebrated with an intimate family gathering, enjoying a homemade paella alongside his children and fiancée, Georgina Rodríguez.
Georgina shared a glimpse of the celebration on Instagram, where she also posted a heartfelt birthday tribute that mirrored the romantic message Cristiano posted for her days earlier when she turned 32. In one story, the model shared a throwback photo from a decade ago, taken at the very start of their relationship.
Over the image, Georgina wrote: “Happy day to the best dad and the best life partner God placed in our path. We love you. She accompanied the message with a series of heart emojis.

According to reports from ESPN, Cristiano is reportedly leading a protest against Saudi Arabia’s Public Investment Fund over transfer policies, which he believes have disadvantaged Al-Nassr in strengthening its squad. Rival club Al-Hilal’s high-profile signings, which include his former Real Madrid teammate Karim Benzema, have only heightened tensions.
In a show of solidarity, fans at the stadium held up thousands of signs bearing Cristiano’s iconic No. 7 jersey number. Georgina reshared images of the crowd on her Instagram Stories.
