'Beautiful' Georgina Rodriguez declares her love for Cristiano Ronaldo in romantic Paris snap

Georgina Rodriguez played the doting girlfriend last night (7 December), accompanying Cristiano Ronaldo to receive the Ballon d'Or award for the fifth time, and a second year in a row.

But the 22-year-old former shop assistant, who gave birth to the couple's first child in common last month – baby girl Alana Martina – nearly stole the show from the Portuguese footballer.

Rodriguez proudly shared a shot of herself next to Ronaldo holding up the football accolade in a romantic picture taken outside at night-time, in front of the lit-up Eiffel Tower.

While the 32-year-old sportsman looks dapper in a shiny navy suit and bow tie, Rodriguez showed off her super svelte post-baby figure in a plunging slinky black dress.

The elegant number accentuated her slim waist with a waist belt, and she accessorised the simple-yet-timeless look with silver hoop earrings and a slick of red lipstick for old Hollywood glamour.

Rodriguez lovingly captioned the sweet shot: "Never stop dreaming ✨ Your Fifth Golden Ball ⚽️ Happy to accompany you by the hand. I LOVE YOU ❤️".

Fans were quick to comment on the popular post, with one person writing: "The best couple forever", while another said: "Y'all are so cute. I'm glad Ronaldo has found you."

A third added: "Beautiful! What a nice family !!! May you continue to be like that and may God bless you! Handsome!"

The day before, Rodriguez posted another snap of her looking ultra-stylish in a brown fur coat and blue jeans while reading her cover interview in iHola! on a pivate jet.

Proving she is very much part of the family, Rodriguez also shared a group shot of herself with Ronaldo, his son Cristiano Jr and other family members with the words: "On the way to Paris for the Golden Ball gala with the family ❤️".

Ronaldo beat Barcelona's Lionel Messi to win the award, while the Argentine's ex-Barca team-mate Neymar, who is now at Paris Saint-Germain, came third.

The Portuguese international also won in 2008, 2013, 2014 and 2016, with Messi being the only other recipient of the gong since 2009.

Ronaldo said: "This is something I look forward to every year," he said, after receiving the award on the Eiffel Tower in Paris.

"Thanks to my Real Madrid team-mates. And I want to thank the rest of the people who helped me reach this level."
