The 37-year-old Portuguese classic presented the other day in front of a full house, his new club, al-Naszr, with an amazing reception.
The five-time Ballon d’Or player, never married, took to the field with his partner Georgina Rodríguez, who has lived with him for some time, and their children.
At the same time, local lawyers told Spanish news agency EFE that the authorities will turn a blind eye to the case and the European champion star can continue living with her partner.
Although the kingdom’s laws still prohibit cohabitation without a marriage contract, the authorities have recently begun to turn a blind eye and will not initiate proceedings for this in the future – TalkSport quotes an anonymous lawyer’s statement to EFE. – At the same time, these laws are used when dealing with a problem or a crime. Nowadays, the Saudi authorities no longer interfere in this matter.
Although the main obstacle has been removed, the mother of Cristiano Ronaldo’s two children still needs an entry visa, as it was not automatically granted to her as the wife of the Portuguese classic.
