Ronaldo and Georgina met when the 28-year-old model was working in a Gucci store in Madrid six years ago. On her 2022 TV show, I am Georgina, the model recalled how she thought the footballer was "very handsome" and "two metres tall" when he walked into the store with his son Juníor and a few friends. However, what began as a professional relationship where the Portugal legend was a personal shopping client of hers soon transformed into something more when he invited her to attend a Dolce & Gabbana event together. The couple kept their relationship under wraps for the first few months but soon started uploading pictures of themselves together on their respective social media handles.

Praising Georgina in his interview on Piers Morgan uncensored, Ronaldo said, "We help each other, but she's stronger than what she was when she was young. She looks at life in a different light. She's still young, but she's suffered a lot. She was born in Argentina. She has issues with her family as well. She lived alone. She's had an interesting life and history as well. She helped me a lot. She's very mature for her age. We help each other. Sometimes when I am a little bit down, she pushes me up, and I do it as well. So we are a nice couple. We help each other so I am really pleased that she's on my side."
