Georgina Rodriguez upset internet users. Cristiano Ronaldo's partner posted a video from a restaurant in Colombia on her Instagram profile. Her words caused a stir.

60 million—that's how many people follow Georgina Rodriguez on Instagram—influencer and partner of Cristiano Ronaldo. The couple met in 2016 when Rodriguez was a sales assistant at the Gucci fashion house boutique in Madrid. Love came quickly, and its fruit was three children: Alana, Bella, and Angel, who died at birth. Rodriguez is also the mother of Cristiano Ronaldo's three children: Cristiano Junior, Eva Maria, and Mateo.

Georgina Rodriguez upset internet users

  

The relationship with Cristiano Ronaldo quickly made Georgina Rodriguez a recognizable person. The influencer recently posted a video on her Instagram profile from an exclusive restaurant in Colombia, which she wanted to promote. What was potentially an ordinary recording caused a stir because of what she said.

Sitting at a table in the Colombian restaurant, Georgina Rodriguez suddenly said:

- If you are hungry, eat.

These words did not please internet users, who stated that Georgina Rodriguez probably doesn't know what she is talking about. As most of them wrote, not every hungry person can afford a meal—especially in such an expensive restaurant. They also accused Rodriguez of a lack of intelligence.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez live without marriage

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have been a couple for eight years now. However, the footballer has not yet proposed to his partner and the mother of his children. Explaining the lack of marriage, Rodriguez said in an interview with the Spanish magazine "Hola!" in 2019:

- Every couple wants to get married, I would also really like to. We have many priorities and issues on our minds right now, but in the future it would be wonderful to be a wife.

Cristiano Ronaldo stated during a conversation with Piers Morgan in 2022 that marriage "is not something that is currently in his plans, but in the future definitely yes."

- We will definitely get married someday. It's also my mother's dream. So someday for sure. Why not? - he declared.
