Georgina Rodríguez has lived most of her life in Spain, in the suburbs of Madrid, until she met Cristiano Ronaldo. They spent their beginnings together in there, when he was playing for Real Madrid, and then moved to Turin when Juventus signed the Portuguese master after the 2018 World Cup.

She was born in 1994 in Argentina to an Argentinian father and a Spanish mother. Due to her mom’s desire, they moved to Spain when she was just four years old, right before a huge social and financial crisis devastated the country at the beginning of the 2000s. His father has lives a very difficult life until he died in February 2019.

Jorge Rodríguez had suffered a cerebral infarction from which he had not come out well. He suffered a deteriorated state of health due to a stroke, which led him to lose mobility and some of his speech. But it was just the sad ending to a long story which left him in prison for almost 10 years.

At the age of 69, Rodríguez was expelled from Spanish territory after a long list of events that made him spend more than a decade in jail. Local media reported he had no relationship with his daughter Georgina. His charges were cocaine and cannabis oil smuggling. Once he served his sentence, he was extradited to Argentina, as reported by ABC.

His life in prison

Spanish magazine ‘Salvame’ contacted the man who shared the prison cell with Jorge Rodríguez, who revealed the relationship between him, and Georgina was not that bad, but she felt ashamed of his father’s life. He was never invited to meet his grandsons, Alana Martina, Eva María and Mateo. He died, allegedly, in loneliness.
