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.

A Twilight rave is coming to Manchester with DJs blasting 2000s indie and emo anthems

A Twilight rave is coming to Manchester this spooky season.
It’s been nearly 20 years since the release of the titular first film in the Twilight Saga, based on author Stephanie Meyer’s bestselling book series of the same name, but despite two decades having passed, the films remain as beloved as ever.
Twilight went on to become a global phenomenon when it first hit cinemas back in November 2008, not just with its target audience of teens and young adults, but with people of all ages – making stars out of its lead actors Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart in the process, and generating millions at the box office.
With the impact it had on the culture at the time, it’s no wonder Twilight remained among fans’ favourites all these years later.
And this success is why events company Throwback Events is hosting a series of Twilight Raves across the UK and Europe this autumn, making a stop off here in Manchester in late November with tickets now on sale.
The event description reads: “Bella, where the hell you been loca? Join us as we celebrate Twilight at the club, where every day is Hoa Hoa Hoa season.
“Step into the shadows and relive the magic, mystery, and eternal romance of Twilight. Get ready for a night of anthems, nostalgia, and glittering darkness as we transform the dancefloor into Forks’ most iconic vampire coven.”
DJs will be spinning Twilight soundtracks on the night, alongside dark pop, emo, indie, and 2000s bangers, as well as playing fan edits from the films on big screens.
Oh, and to make it all the better, dressing up as vampires and werewolves is ‘highly encouraged’.
Fancy it then? The Twilight Rave is coming to the Deaf Institute in Manchester on Saturday 21 November, and tickets will set you back upwards of £7 each.
