Who is Georgina Rodriguez?

Born on January 27, 1994, Georgina grew up in Jaca, a small town in northeastern Spain. From a young age, she dreamed of becoming a dancer and living a life of luxury. In 2016, while working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid, her life took a fateful turn when she met the famous athlete. One afternoon, a colleague asked her to stay late for a client, unaware that the client would turn out to be a globally recognized football star. This encounter marked the beginning of her fairytale romance.

Working as a Cleaner and Waitress

As a child, Georgina had aspirations of moving to Madrid to study classical dance, with a long-term goal of joining the Royal Ballet in London. To support her dream, she took on jobs as a cleaner and a waitress at a hotel in Graus. Reflecting on her journey, she shared an experience that highlighted her dedication to achieving her long-term goals.

“One weekend, I returned to Jaca, and a boy tried to mock me in front of everyone, asking loudly about my dancing career in Madrid. He sarcastically added, ‘Oh, sorry, you’re committed to cleaning toilets in Graus,'” she recalled. Despite the ridicule, Georgina remained proud of her hard work and steadfast in her ambitions.

“I was truly proud of being a hardworking and frugal person. I never lived beyond my means just to put on a facade,” she stated.

A Secret Relationship and Job Loss Due to Ronaldo

The couple kept their relationship under wraps for the first few months. However, once the news broke, fans flocked to the Gucci store, causing concern for management that they might drive away the high-end clientele. In December 2016, after only eight months of employment, Rodriguez was let go.

“He would often come by after work. I remember one time he arrived in a Bugatti. My colleagues were stunned. They arrived on the bus, while I was leaving in a Bugatti. People couldn’t believe it,” she shared.

Through Ronaldo’s connections, she secured another job at Prada, a prestigious Spanish department store, where she earned about £1,000 a month plus commission. However, the constant influx of fans hoping to catch a glimpse of Ronaldo led to an agreement between the management and Georgina that it would be best for her to resign.

Speaking about her experience, she told Spanish media: “I was hiding, but fans were seeking me out in the store. They would call and ask for me, pretending to be customers. Photographers were always waiting for me. The manager told me to go to the basement because he didn’t want to see me in the store. It became very uncomfortable for me, so I left.”
