Cristiano Ronaldo's partner Georgina Rodriguez has admitted that her life changed the day she met the Portuguese superstar.

The 27-year-old Argentine model has revealed in her upcoming Netflix documentary series how she went from rags-to-riches after moving to Spain (Madrid) as a teenager.

Speaking about her early life, Georgina Rodriguez said:

“My arrival in Madrid was horrible. I was looking at a lot of cheap flats, which cost around £250-a-month and ended up in a flat that had been a storage room.It was freezing cold in winter and baking hot in summer.

“My life changed the day I met Cristiano Ronaldo.”

The documentary, 'Soy Georgina', is set to be released on Netflix on January 27th. The poster of the documentary also referenced the times when she used to work as a shop assistant in Madrid's famous Serrano street selling handbags.

The poster highlighting her incredible rise says:

“Before I sold handbags in Serrano. Now I collect them.”

Speaking about the documentary, Netflix (via The Sun) said:

“All the episodes arrive on January 27.

“We will live Georgina’s day-to-day with her, we will discover her true friendships, her wishes and desires, her highs and her lows. We will get to know who Georgina Rodriguez really is.

“On January 27 we will be able to see her most personal side, an emotive and profound portrait of the woman behind the front covers, the photos, the Instagram Stories and the headlines.”
