World Cup Stars Who Love Their WAGs!
Soccer players are the most prominent international sports stars on the planet. Sure, there's LeBron James and Tom Brady, but not even those two can hold a candle to Lionel Messi or even Cristiano Ronaldo. Since fútbol athletes are so monumental and create large amounts of wealth for themselves, they don't find it too hard attracting a significant other. That, or they've known their spouse since before they made it to the big leagues. Whatever the case, these players wouldn't be complete without their better halves, so let's find out who these World Cup professionals get to call their partner!
The Love Between Ronaldo And Georgina Rodríguez
Cristiano Ronaldo is undoubtedly one of the top soccer players in the world. Whether you want to name him the number one guy is subjective, but something you can't debate is his love for partner Georgina Rodríguez.
They began dating in 2017, and have overcome a few tough challenges in their relationship. According to The Sun, Ronaldo gives Rodríguez £80k ($103,040) a month as an allowance "to fund her lavish lifestyle." That's pocket money for Ronaldo, whose net worth is close to half a billion.
