Cristiano Ronaldo’s move to the Saudi Pro League isn’t just limited to soccer. The Portuguese captain opened the way for the world to see the luxurious life in the Middle East through his experiences. One of the main ambassadors is his partner Georgina Rodriguez, who has been involved in multiple lifestyle projects, including fashion.
And what better place to have a kick-start than Saudi? However, even with their wealth, Ronaldo and his wife still faced some challenges when they moved to a new country.
According to her Netflix Documentary, ‘I Am Georgina,’ she revealed a sudden reality check when her expectations were not met. The famous social media influencer stated, “I was super happy to come to Saudi. It all happened so fast. We didn’t have a house yet, so we stayed in a hotel for a month. At first, I experienced some ups and downs, cuz we never lived in a hotel for so long. There were days when I just didn’t want anyone to see me,” revealing, moving out of their comfort zone.
