Cristiano Ronaldo's girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez confirms she was stung by a bee during oldest son's pre-birthday celebrations
Cristiano Ronaldo's partner Georgina Rodriguez has confirmed that she was stung by a bee while celebrating her stepson Cristiano Ronaldo Jr's pre-birthday.
The oldest son of Ronaldo celebrated his 13th birthday on Saturday (June 17). He celebrated the big occasion beforehand, but festivities took an unfortunate turn when Rodriguez was stung by a bee.
She has confirmed that with a post on Instagram, with one photo displaying the nasty-looking sting. She said:
"Wonderful pre-birthday day with my boys bite included…Moms are the ones who get thrown the most."
The 29-year-old Spanish model seems to be fine as she fought through her pain barrier. Cristiano Ronaldo Jr will have been joined by his siblings, Alana Martina, Bella Esmeralda and twins Mateo and Eva.
Their father has been on international duty with Portugal, so he missed the day out to celebrate his son's birthday in Madrid. He was part of the Portugal side that beat Bosnia and Herzegovina 3-0 in the Euro 2024 qualifiers on Sunday.
Rodriguez has become a mother figure to Cristiano Ronaldo Jr since meeting his father in Madrid in 2016. The Portuguese icon did react to his girlfriend's post:
"My love."
Ronaldo's son will have to wait a little longer to celebrate with his father. The five-time Ballon d'Or winner will next be in action for Portugal against Iceland on Tuesday (June 20). The legendary forward will be hoping to add to his tally of 122 goals in 199 international caps.
The iconic forward just ended his club season with a second-place finish in the Saudi Pro League with Al Nassr. He struck 14 goals in 19 games across competitions.
Cristiano Ronaldo reacts to Portugal's win against Bosnia
Cristiano Ronaldo reacted to Portugal's comfortable 4-0 win against Bosnia with an Instagram post. He said:
"Great win, team! Thanks to all Portuguese people for their support."
The iconic attacker wasn't on the scoresheet but did impress up top for Roberto Martinez's side. Bruno Fernandes (2) and Bernardo Silva sent Selecao das Quinas on their way to victory.
Ronaldo's team remain perfect in their Euro 2024 qualifying campaign. They have won all three games without conceding. The Selecao are top of Group J, leading a group consisting of Slovakia, Luxembourg, Bosnia, Iceland and Liechtenstein.
Martinez's men travel to the Laugardalsvollur on Tuesday looking to continue their unbeaten run under their new manager. The Spaniard replaced Fernando Santos following his sacking after their 2022 FIFA World Cup exit in the quarterfinals.
