Georgina Rodríguez was born on January 27, 1994, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and grew up in Jaca, Spain. From an early age she cultivated a great passion for dance, a discipline she studied for years with dedication, but, aware of the need to contribute financially at home, she soon sought a job to support herself. She began as a waitress, but her beauty and poise opened the doors to the world of fashion: she got her first engagements with the Uno Models agency. Ambitious and determined, she decided to gain experience abroad and moved to England as an au pair. After studying ballet at a prestigious school in Spain, she chose London to perfect her English, thus enriching her cultural background.

The return to Spain marks the beginning of a new phase. She settles in Madrid, where she finds employment as a saleswoman for Gucci. It is a job that allows her to stay in touch with the fashion environment and further develop her professional image. According to reports from Telecinco’s Spanish program Fiesta, in her love life there was, before Cristiano Ronaldo, another well-known face: Alberto Santana, star of Spanish TV and Temptation Island.

However, the meeting that radically changes his destiny occurs in 2016, during a party organized by Dolce & Gabbana, when he meets Cristiano Ronaldo. An attraction is immediately sparked between the two that leads to the beginning of a relationship destined to get the whole world talking. Their story, however, is not without its difficulties. The paparazzi siege becomes so intense that she loses her job at Gucci. Ronaldo intervenes to help her find new employment at the Prada corner in the El Corte Inglés department store. But when the relationship becomes more serious, Georgina quits her sales job to focus entirely on her new career as a model and influencer.

Her popularity explodes on social media, where she gains millions of followers. She is in demand by international brands and magazines and initiates collaborations in the fashion and lifestyle world. In addition to being a glamorous figure, she maintains strong ties with her family and Ronaldo, with whom she has two children. In 2020 she makes her Italian debut as co-host at the Sanremo Festival, flanking Amadeus on one of the evenings and showing a more spontaneous and communicative side.

In 2022, Netflix dedicated Soy Georgina to her, a docuseries chronicling her daily life: from her work to her charitable activities to her private life with Cristiano Ronaldo. The documentary highlights her transformation journey: from a girl who worked hard to support herself, to an international icon capable of building a media and business empire.

Today Georgina Rodríguez is considered one of the most followed and recognizable influencers in the world. Her story is often cited as an example of determination and ability to reinvent herself, managing to balance life in the spotlight with love for family and a strong personal identity.
