A documentary following Cristiano Ronaldo’s girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez and his family life is coming to Netflix.
The Portuguese striker, who recently became the all time leading goalscorer in international football, has just moved back to Manchester with his girlfriend and young family.
Meanwhile, Georgina – who has been with Cristiano for five years – is in the middle of launching her own reality TV show on Netflix called I Am Georgina.
The 27-year-old made the surprising announcement on Monday night, sharing a promotional picture of her new project which showed her in bed eating pizza.
The show will see Ronaldo tell the story of how he and Georgina met, revealing that “it was a split-second moment”.

Her life changed five years ago when Ronaldo walked into the Gucci store she was being paid £10 an hour to work at. The rest is history.
Netflix Spain’s Director of Entertainment Alvaro Diaz said: “Georgina is totally honest and recognises in the documentary that her life changed from having nothing to absolutely everything.

“‘I Am Georgina’ has a strong aspirational component. Georgina went from selling luxury to being gifted it and showing it off on the red carpet.
“She was a normal young woman whose life changed dramatically one day.

“She was leaving work one day and crossed paths with the love of her life. Who has not dreamed of that?”

He also confirmed Ronaldo would make an appearance, adding: “Cristiano’s incorporation is total but complements a vision of who Georgina is and her relationship with the father of her children.
“It was a split-second moment. I never thought it would be that big as to fall in love with her, I really didn’t expect it,” he says in the new production.
“It conditions all her life but the focus is on her and knowing her also through her own eyes.”
Rodriguez will get her first taste of Old Trafford on Saturday, when Ronaldo makes his Manchester United return against Newcastle at home.

First-ever JD Wetherspoon pub to open at Manchester Airport
Danny Jones
In news that we feel many Mancs and travellers all-round have been waiting on for a long time, the well-known British chain, JD Wetherspoon, will be opening its first-ever pub at Manchester Airport.
That’s right: soon that first airport pint of the holiday could actually be a relatively cheap one.
While Wetherspoons are no strangers to popping up in terminals across the UK and Ireland, they’ve never done so here in Manchester despite having three, yes THREE, in Gatwick alone.
Not for much longer, though, as soon T2 will be lending more than 3,000 square feet of its prime leisure and retail real estate to a new Greater Manchester ‘Spoons’.
Posting on social media, the airport wrote: “Wetherspoon comes to Manchester Airport this September! The pub will be located in the Terminal 2 Departures lounge and will have more than 300 seats.
“This will become the final major food and drink venue to open its doors as part of our decade-long £1.3bn transformation of Terminal 2. It will be named ‘The Belle Vue’, in a nod to Manchester’s historic showground [now a sports complex and leisure hub].
“It was a focal point for social life in the city from the Victorian period up until 2020, when the final event was held at Belle Vue stadium. The design of the pub is inspired by the history of Belle Vue and the sporting culture of the North West of England. We look forward to welcoming you all in September!”
While a lot of money has been pumped into T2’s refurb as a whole over the past few years, it remains unclear just how much this particular new addition will cost; we do know that great sums were set aside for the launch of the Great Northern Market last year.
The inaugural Manchester Airport Spoons is just the latest in a series of major renovations.
As mentioned, the company already operate several up and down the country – 10 airport pubs, to be specific – but this will be the first in the North West.
Speaking on the news, JD Wetherspoon chief executive John Hutson said in a statement: “We are looking forward to opening at Manchester Airport. We believe our new pub will prove popular with travellers of all ages and be an asset to the new terminal.”
With Manchester Airport adding a dozen new routes to its roster this summer, you can expect to see even more people flying in and out than ever – no doubt having already polished off a cut-price pint or two beforehand.
