Portugal has big expectations for this year’s World Cup, and they have a strong cast ready to help them succeed.
Despite the fact that there are many others willing to take the spotlight, Cristiano Ronaldo’s celebrity may really be beginning to wane. Rafael Leao, Joao Felix, Bruno Fernandes, Bernardo Silva, and Joao Cancelo are all arguably world-class players on Fernando Santos’ team.
Georgina Rodriguez (Cristiano Ronaldo)
Unquestionably the most well-known WAG on this list, and possibly the entire planet, with over 40 million Instagram followers and independent celebrity status.
Rodriguez met Ronaldo while working as a Gucci shop assistant in Spain, and since then, she has launched her own clothing line and participated in a Netflix documentary.
Alana and Bella are the two children she and Ronaldo share together. Earlier this year, the couple tragically lost a son who passed away during childbirth.
Margarida Corceiro (Joao Felix)
Portuguese soap opera actress Felix’s WAG has appeared in shows including Prisioneira, Bem me Quer, and most recently, Quero E Viver. In 2019, the same year that he made his high-profile move to Atletico Madrid, Corceiro and Felix began dating.
When news broke that the 20-year-old had been seen kissing Sporting Lisbon star Pedro Porro earlier this year, Margarida was forced to refute accusations that she had cheated on Felix.
Prisioneira, Bem me Quer, and most recently Quero E Viver are just a few of the Portuguese soap operas in which Felix’s WAG has appeared. In 2019, the same year that he moved to Atletico Madrid for a sizable sum of money, Corceiro and Felix began dating.
Earlier this year, when rumours surfaced that the 20-year-old had been photographed kissing Sporting Lisbon star Pedro Porro, Margarida was forced to refute accusations that she had cheated on Felix.
She said: “I met Porro a few months ago unexpectedly at a group dinner and since then we have had a great time, we are very good friends, I love him, he is incredible and the people who know him know him very well.”
Meanwhile, Porro said he had a “special relationship” with Corceiro and that “no one was being unfaithful,” while Felix stayed tight-lipped on the matter.
Ana Pinho (Bruno Fernandes)
Childhood sweethearts Bruno Fernandes and Ana first met when they were both 16 years old. Their two children, Matilde and Goncalo, who they married in 2015, like seeing their father play for Manchester United.
The Fernandes family can frequently be seen supporting their father on social media, whereas Pinho has amassed close to 125,000 Instagram followers. Soon after the playmaker joined the Red Devils, they welcomed their second child.
Ginevra Festa
While Ruben Dias regularly deals with quick feet while defending Manchester City’s goal, Festa’s home life is much the same.
She is a cabaret dancer who was spotted in Formentera with the center-back during a romantic getaway in the summer.
In the “world’s most glamorous cabaret,” where dancers, singers, and acrobats perform in front of diners, Ginerva also works in Dubai.
In contrast to Dubai and Portugal, where the weather is a little more gloomy, Festa has not yet been spotted in Manchester.
Ines Tomaz (Bernardo Silva)
Love can develop even during a lockdown, and that is exactly what happened with Bernardo Silva and Tomaz. They connected right away after being introduced by friends who shared interests, and they’ve been together ever since.
After publicly announcing their engagement to the world back in May, the bikini model is now even engaged to the Manchester City player.
She said in a heartfelt Instagram picture that featured her ring and multiple heart-shaped emojis: “YES forever. My unending love.”
The pair does have a dog named John, a French bulldog named after teammate and fellow City player John Stones, even though they are only starting their family adventure.
