Trouble is haunting Ronaldo both on and off the pitch. As is known, Al Nassr did not register superstar captain Ronaldo for the recent away match against Iranian club Esteghlal in the 1/8 round of the 2024/25 AFC Champions League for sensitive reasons. The reason is that Ronaldo violated Islamic law. Everything happened in September 2023. During his trip to Iran to play with Al Nassr, Ronaldo met a special fan. That was Fatima Hamami – a disabled female artist who specializes in drawing football pictures with her feet, always longing to meet the former MU star, and finally her wish was granted. During the meeting in Tehran, in front of the media, Ronaldo took a photo with Hamami. The superstar of Al Nassr gave him his shirt, hugged the female artist and kissed her on the head. In return, Hamami gave Ronaldo the pictures she had drawn of him.
According to Sharq Emroz TV (Iran), Ronaldo’s action was classified as “adultery” because the kiss was not performed by a husband and wife. This crime could result in him being arrested, imprisoned and whipped 99 times if he returns to Iran. Therefore, Al Nassr had to withdraw Ronaldo from the list of players in the first leg at Azadi Stadium, Tehran.
Not only did Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez have to watch Al Nassr’s goalless draw with Esteghlal, but they also recently experienced an alarming situation that threatened the safety of their family. This forced them to take drastic measures to protect themselves. According to reports, the famous couple are living in fear due to threats and harassment towards their children.
Earlier this year, Georgina surprised her social media followers by sharing a picture of her children, but with a heart emoji covering their faces. The decision came after the Spanish-Argentine beauty repeatedly received a number of threatening messages aimed at her children via digital platforms.
According to Portuguese media, the Ronaldo family is currently on “high alert”. Ronaldo has had to increase security measures at their home in Riyadh. In addition to an advanced surveillance system, they have decided to hire four new bodyguards and two security guards to protect the residence 24/7. “Protecting the children has become an absolute priority for the Ronaldo family. He does not want anything unfortunate to happen to the children,” a source close to Ronaldo told A Hola.
One of the biggest contributing factors to this situation turned out to be the reality documentary Soy Georgina on Netflix. While the show helped to strengthen Georgina’s personal brand and allowed her followers to gain more insight into her private life, it also had negative effects.
