Ronaldo's girlfriend says life with mega rich footballer is 'just like any other family'

Georgina Rodriguez says her home life with mega-rich footballer Cristiano Ronaldo is 'just like any other family'.

Recalling the early days of their romance, Georgina recalled when Manchester United football star Ronaldo picked her up from her job as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid.

Reminiscing on the first days of their romance, the 28-year-old gushed: "I'd get there on the bus and leave in a Bugatti.

"I went from selling luxury items to wearing them on the red carpet. I have millions of followers and I'm the woman of the most followed man in the world."

Despite the fact she's now gotten used to her luxury lifestyle, Ronaldo's girlfriend admitted that she found it quite daunting in the beginning of their relationship.

Lifting the lid in her upcoming Netflix documentary, I Am Georgina, she said she often 'got lost' in her boyfriend's £4.8million pad in Madrid when they first started dating.

The mansion, in the super expensive La Finca residential estate, has indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a gym and a football pitch where Cristiano Jr is seen honing his footie skills.

"The first time I went to Cristiano's house I'd get lost every time I went to the kitchen for water," she revealed.

"Sometimes it would take me half an hour to get back from the living room because I didn't know the way. It was so big. Since I was a kid, I'd been used to living in small apartments.

"After half a year, I got to know where everything was."

Georgina is a proud mum to her and Ronaldo's four-year-old daughter Alana and she is now pregnant with twins.

The 28-year-old is adamant about spending as much time at home with her children as she can, and has resisted the urge to hire a nanny so far.

She even does the school-run herself.

"I'm thankful I have the freedom that I don't have to get up at 7am and get home at 9pm like many mums," she says in the documentary.

"I have the economic means that I can stay home. I'm aware I have the opportunity to look after the kids myself. They mean everything to me."

When it comes to family life, Georgina has insisted that her and Ronaldo's personal life is 'normal'.

The gorgeous star makes sure that her family experiences a 'normal' life together.

"We're like any other family," Georgina says in the Netflix documentary.

"We have breakfast together, Cris goes to training, I get ready whatever needs to get ready.

"If I have to take care of the house, I'll do that, or a vacation, a trip, a future career project, my children.

"To me, my home is my temple, a place to wind down, I have the peace I need there.

"I feel a sense of family, I'm valued, spoiled and loved. Sometimes I think 'Man, I'm so happy'."

I Am Georgina is available to stream on Netflix from Thursday.
