Cristiano Ronaldo defends Georgina Rodriguez after she was body-shamed online

Cristiano Ronaldo has come to the defense of his longtime partner, Georgina Rodriguez, after she revealed the private words of encouragement he shared following online body-shaming attacks.

The model, entrepreneur and Netflix star disclosed that she became worried after receiving negative comments about her body following photos she posted from a luxury yacht vacation with Ronaldo in Mallorca, Spain.

Speaking to her 76.9 million Instagram followers, Georgina said she confided in Ronaldo after critics called her "fat."

"Recently, I have encountered various comments regarding some photos of me on a boat. Some individuals express opinions about my body, while others come to my defense. I discussed this with Cris and mentioned, 'I am concerned that they are calling me fat now, as I earn my living based on my image.'"

According to Georgina, Ronaldo immediately reassured her, telling her that her worth goes far beyond her appearance.

"You do not depend on your image. You thrive on who you are. A perfect woman. Beautiful, possessing an incredible physique, a mother, a good person, successful, and someone who embraces life with love. What more could you desire? It is natural for people to feel envy."

Reflecting on the experience, Georgina questioned society's obsession with body standards and said the criticism resurfaces every summer.

"At times, we all require someone to remind us of what truly matters. Ironically, this occurs every summer. Each year, my body becomes a topic of discussion once more. What is the standard? Who determines what the 'ideal' body is? Do we genuinely still believe that happiness is defined by size?"

She explained that exercising has always been about her health and happiness rather than trying to lose weight.

"I engage in training because it brings me joy. My passion for it drives me. That hour spent at the gym is among the highlights of my day. It provides me with health, tranquility, discipline, vitality, and overall wellbeing. For me, it has never been a struggle to shed pounds; rather, it has always been a means of self-care."

Georgina also expressed pride in her body and encouraged self-love.

"I cherish my curves. I appreciate the liberty to inhabit the body I desire. The body that supports me, that has allowed me to embrace life, create, stumble, and rise again. A body that merits respect, love, and gratitude in all its forms."

She concluded by saying true success is not about meeting unrealistic beauty standards but about living a fulfilling life surrounded by loved ones, adding that she hopes to teach her daughters that a person's value is never defined by their appearance or the opinions of others.
