However, the famous couple did not appear at the ceremony — instead, other newlyweds arrived at the church. Fans waited for Ronaldo in temperatures around 30 degrees, despite the fact that the footballer’s relatives had previously publicly denied information about the wedding. The athlete's sister, Elma Aveiro, called the situation "surreal" and accused the media of misleading people. Ronaldo himself reacted to his sister's post with loud laughter. Rumors about the footballer's wedding to Georgina Rodriguez began to spread actively on August 8 in Madeira in recent weeks. One of the sources of information was the British tabloid The Sun, which named a church in Funchal as a possible location for the ceremony. Later, this information was picked up by other foreign media. At the same time, Ronaldo's sisters, Katya and Elma Aveiro, stated back in late July that reports about the wedding were not true. The exact date and location of Ronaldo and Rodriguez's wedding are still unknown. It is only known that the footballer indeed proposed to his beloved. According to Elma Aveiro, Ronaldo took this step for Georgina.
