Digital Desk: Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-term partner,
Georgina Rodriguez, are planning to break the law by living together in
Saudi Arabia. Ronaldo and Georgina are together but not married, and it is illegal under Saudi law to live in the same house without being married, but they are not likely to be punished by authorities.
The 37-year-old joined Al-Nassr last month following his controversial exit from Manchester United and will reportedly earn £175 million per year.
As per the Spanish news agency EFE, due to Ronaldo’s status as one of the most marketable athletes in the world, the Portuguese star is unlikely to be punished.
According to two separate Saudi lawyers, the relevant authorities were not expected to become involved in Ronaldo's situation.
"Although the rules still ban cohabitation without a marriage contract, the authorities have begun to turn a blind eye and do not pursue anyone. Of course, these laws are used when there is a problem or a crime," one said.
"The Saudi Arabian authorities today do not intervene in this situation [in the case of foreigners], but the law continues to prohibit cohabitation outside of marriage," the other added.
Ronaldo met Rodriguez while playing for Real Madrid in 2016, and the couple has two children: Bella and Alana.
Ronaldo also has three other children: Cristiano Jr. and Eva and Mateo, who are twins.
Rodriguez and Ronaldo would technically be in violation of Saudi law because they have not yet married.
Cristiano Ronaldo's long-awaited debut for Al Nassr has been postponed after the Saudi club refused to register him due to having too many foreign players in their team.
