Football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo has married his longtime partner - model and influencer Georgina Rodríguez - in a civil ceremony in Portugal.
The Portuguese striker posted an image on his Instagram account showing two hands - presumed to be his on top of his wife's - both wearing wedding rings.
Calling it the wedding of the year, Portuguese media say the couple tied the knot on 11 August in the coastal town of Cascais near Lisbon - and that their five children attended.
The Instagram entry had more than 3m likes within 30 minutes of being posted.
The couple have been together for 10 years, after they met at a Gucci shop in Madrid where Rodríguez was working. He was playing at the Spanish club Real Madrid at the time.
They announced their engagement on 11 August last year.
At the time, Rodríguez posted a picture of a large ring, writing "Yes I do. In this and in all my lives" in her native Spanish.
Ronaldo has scored nearly 1,000 goals in a career in which he has played for Lisbon-based Sporting, Manchester United, Real Madrid, Juventus, Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia and Portugal.
He recently played in his sixth World Cup, a record for appearances in the men's finals which he shares with Lionel Messi of Argentina. (BBC)
