Georgina Rodriguez, fiancée of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, posted a strong message of body positivity on Tuesday, embracing her figure and addressing public comments about her changing body. The post comes days before the couple is reportedly set to marry.
Rodriguez, 32, shared a carousel of images from a summer getaway, including photos of her in a white bikini. In her post, she declared her love for her curves and spoke out against body shamers. "My body will change, as all women's bodies do," she stated. "And I hope it continues to do so for many years, because that will mean I'm still alive."
She emphasized the importance of teaching her six children, particularly her daughters, that a person's worth is not tied to their physical appearance or the opinions of others. "A person's worth can never depend on their physical appearance or the opinions of strangers," she wrote. Rodriguez added that this message also helps her navigate the "world of so much fantasy."
Rodriguez recounted conversations with Ronaldo about the comments she had received. "I was worried that they're calling me fat now, because I make a living from my image," she said. Ronaldo's response, as relayed by Rodriguez, was supportive: "You don’t live off your image. You live off who you are. A perfect woman. Beautiful, with a great body, a mother, a good person, successful, and who lives life with love."
"I love my curves. I love the freedom to live in the body I choose," Rodriguez stated. "In the body that supports me, that has allowed me to embrace, create life, fall, and get back up. A body that deserves respect, love, and gratitude in all its versions."
She defined true success not by adhering to societal standards of appearance, but by living in peace, enjoying loved ones, and taking care of one's health. "For me, true success has never been about fitting into a standard that no one knows who invented. True success is living in peace," she wrote.
Rodriguez and Ronaldo, 41, are rumored to be planning a wedding ceremony this week at Funchal Cathedral, followed by a reception at the Savoy Palace hotel. The couple, who have daughters Alana and Bella together, and welcomed twins Eva Maria and Mateo through surrogacy, recently shared photos from a pre-wedding getaway. Their family includes Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., 16, and Bella, who tragically lost her twin brother Angel shortly after birth.
