She LIED - Georgina Rodriguez’s ex-friend spills SHOCKING truth about how she really met Cristiano Ronaldo

Georgina Rodriguez was a sales assistant at a Gucci store before her life-changing encounter with Ronaldo.

Georgina Rodriguez’s glossy love story with Cristiano Ronaldo has come under fire after a former colleague sensationally rubbished her widely told version of how they met. 

The romanticised tale, officially told by Rodriguez herself in the hit Netflix docuseries “I Am Georgina”—claimed the couple’s iconic romance sparked inside a Gucci store in Madrid.

"The first meeting with Ronaldo was at 'Gucci, where Iworked as a sales assistant. Days later we saw each other again at another brand's event…..It was then that we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside of my work environment... It was love at first sight for both of us.” Georgina said in the first season of her Netflix documentary.

But now, a different narrative is now emerging, and it’s causing an almighty stir online.

“It wasn’t a coincidence!”

Pablo Boone, who claims to have worked alongside Rodriguez during her time at Gucci, has gone public with allegations that the store-meeting story was a carefully curated fabrication.

Speaking on the Spanish TardeAR programme, Boone stated bluntly: “I was there and realised it wasn’t a coincidence; he walked in and they looked at each other and fell in love. No, they had known each other before.”

According to Boone, the pair didn’t lock eyes over luxury handbags but rather connected in a very different kind of setting: Madrid’s exclusive nightlife scene.

“They met at the Opium nightclub. They both went there to have a good time, especially her, who was with Santana and Miguel Ángel Silvestre before Cristiano,” he claimed, adding that photographic evidence exists but has been buried by Ronaldo’s PR machine.

Is the Gucci love story a marketing move?

The former colleague didn’t stop there.

 Boone further alleged that the Gucci-store origin story was nothing more than a “marketing strategy” cooked up to elevate Georgina’s public image and help smooth over her transition from shop assistant to global celebrity.

 “Ronaldo’s people wanted to construct a narrative more favourable to Georgina’s public image,” Boone claimed.

This shocking claim directly contradicts the timeline Rodriguez confidently presented in her Netflix documentary.

Despite the controversy, the power couple remain stronger than ever. 

Since beginning their relationship in 2016, Georgina and Ronaldo have built a family, relocated to the Middle East, and continued to fuel marriage rumours. Ronaldo recently signed a new two-year deal with Al-Nassr, meaning the couple’s base in Saudi Arabia is set to continue.
