Portugal’s WAGs: These are the wives and girlfriends of the Portuguese national team at the 2026 World Cup

Portugal didn’t get off to the start they would have hoped for at the World Cup - a 1-1 draw with Colombia complicates the team’s chances of directly qualifying for the next round, which is worrying for Cristiano Ronaldo.

This particular tournament is a hugely significant one for the 41-year-old captain - it is his sixth World Cup and with all likelihood, his last.

It’s an extra incentive to savor the moment along with his inner circle and of course with his fiancée Georgina Rodríguez.

Georgina is the most well-known of Portugal’s WAGs - the wives and girlfriends who will be cheering on the team during their games in Houston and Miami, making sure they get all the support they need.

Georgina Rodríguez

Cristiano Ronaldo‘s fiancée

A chance meeting on Madrid’s Golden Mile led to a long-lasting romance with wedding bells on the horizon. Georgina Rodríguez was working as an assistant in Madrid’s Gucci store when Cristiano popped in for a browse. The relationship stepped up a gear when they crossed paths at a fashion event a few months later.

The 10-year-old relationship has produced two daughters: Alana Martina and Bella Esmeralda, who are siblings to Cristiano’s other three children.

The pair announced their engagement on August 11, 2025, and plan to wed later this year, once the World Cup is over.

Ana Pinho

Wife of Bruno Fernandes

Bruno Fernandes and Ana Pinho met when they were teenagers, both studying in the same class at school in Boavista, Portugal.

Ana followed Bruno throughout his career and remained by his side during his spell in Italy with Novara, Udinese and Sampdoria as well as his move to England to join Manchester United.

The couple married on December 23, 2015 and have two children: Matilde and Gonçalo. Ana prefers to keep a low profile and focus on her family and private life rather than being in the spotlight.

Inés Degener Tomaz

Wife of Bernardo Silva

Inés Degener Tomaz — a model, digital creator, Instagram celeb and rising social‑media personality — married Real Madrid’s new signing Bernardo Silva in July 2023 after several years together. Their relationship didn’t just blossom; it flourished during one of the most unusual moments in recent history.

The couple became an item while spending the Covid‑19 lockdown with a small group of friends in a large home just outside Lisbon. Back in April 2020, Silva sparked rumors of a new romance when he revealed that Inés was one of three women — along with three male friends — who had been quarantining with him. That quiet admission was enough to set off a wave of speculation, and fans quickly connected the dots.

Bernardo and Inés celebrated the birth of their daughter Carlota in August 2023.

Daniela Machado

Wife of João Cancelo

João Cancelo and Daniela Machado‘s story begins in Lisbon in 2011 when Cancelo was just 17 and still making his way up the ranks of Benfica’s youth system.

Since then, their relationship has unfolded across several continents. The couple has lived a true globetrotter lifestyle, settling in Lisbon, Valencia, Milan, Turin, Manchester, Munich, Barcelona, Riyadh — and now back again in Barcelona.

While the couple has kept the details of their early days private — and Machado hasn’t publicly shared her profession — her Instagram paints a vivid picture of her world. Nearly 130,000 followers tune in for snapshots of her luxe lifestyle: poolside photos, tropical getaways, family vacations, and playful costume moments. It’s a curated feed that blends glamour with glimpses of everyday life.

In December 2019, the couple welcomed their first daughter, Alicia.

Madalena Aragão

Girlfriend of João Neves

João Neves opened up about his relationship with Portuguese actress Madalena Aragão in September 2024 when he published a photo of them enjoying a romantic weekend in Paris.

Aragão, 20, has enjoyed roles in television series such as ‘Rainha das Flores’, ‘Nazaré’, ¡Quer o Destino’ and ‘Morangos com Açúcar’.
