Portugal were held to a 1-1 draw by the DR Congo in the opening game of their World Cup campaign, leaving their players potentially needing a lift off the pitch. Cristiano Ronaldo and his teammates were tipped as heavy favourites to win Group K, but Yoane Wissa’s equaliser before half-time cancelled out Joao Neves’ early strike. Roberto Martinez’s side were unconvincing and will need to rediscover their best form to finally win their first World Cup.
Portugal’s Next Challenge and Family Support
Portugal next face minnows Uzbekistan in Houston at 6pm on Tuesday as they aim to keep pressure on Colombia at the top of the group, following the South American side’s victory over Fabio Cannavaro’s team. Ronaldo and his teammates have had almost a week off and have been feeling the love and support of their partners before returning to the pitch. Here, Daily Star Sport takes a look at some of Portugal’s stunning WAGs.
Georgina Rodriguez – Cristiano Ronaldo
Undoubtedly the most popular WAG on this list – and potentially the world – Georgina Rodriguez boasts over 74 million Instagram followers and celebrity status in her own right. After meeting the Manchester United and Real Madrid legend in Spain while working as a shop assistant at Gucci, Rodriguez has launched her own clothing brand and starred in her own Netflix documentary. She and Ronaldo share two children together, Alana and Bella, and tragically lost a son who died during childbirth in 2022. She also helps raise his three other children. Ronaldo proposed to Georgina after nine years of dating, and they plan to marry after the World Cup at the historic Funchal Cathedral in Madeira.
Ana Pinho – Bruno Fernandes
Bruno Fernandes and Ana Pinho are childhood sweethearts who met when they were both 16. They married in 2015 and have two children, Matilde and Goncalo, who love watching their record-breaking dad captain Manchester United. Fernandes’ family is often spotted on social media cheering him on, while Pinho has garnered nearly 135,000 Instagram followers. They had their second child not long after the fiery playmaker signed for the Red Devils.
Ines Tomaz – Bernardo Silva
Even during lockdown, love blossomed between Ines Tomaz and Bernardo Silva. Introduced by mutual friends, they hit it off instantly and have been inseparable since. The model moved to the North West to be with Silva when he became a key part of Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City side. The bikini model got engaged to the soon-to-be Real Madrid star in 2022, and they married in 2023 in a magical vineyard wedding. That same year, they welcomed their first child.
Madalena Aragao – Joao Neves
Actress Madalena Aragao started dating Paris Saint-Germain lynchpin Joao Neves in early 2025, and the couple are often spotted on the red carpet together. She revealed last year that Neves’ three-finger celebration is a special “I love you” ritual between them. Madalena was on the receiving end of an awkward reaction from Georgina Rodriguez after a fake account commented, “Tell your goat to retire he’s very selfish,” aimed at Ronaldo. Replying, she wrote, “Wow! This generation is coming through strong!” Despite the comment being fake, it raised concerns about a fractured Portugal dressing room.
Margarida Domingues – Goncalo Ramos
Margarida Domingues swapped Lisbon for Paris when Goncalo Ramos joined PSG in 2023 in a deal worth around £70 million. The stunner holds a degree in Social Communication. They got engaged in May 2026, after welcoming their first child, Bernando, in June 2025. Ramos has 10 goals in 26 games for his country, a tally he could add to this World Cup if Ronaldo ever steps aside.
Daniela Machado – Joao Cancelo
Blonde stunner Daniela Machado has been by Joao Cancelo’s side since 2011 and got engaged in 2021 after the former Manchester City and current Al-Hilal star proposed on a beach in the Maldives. The couple have two daughters: Alicia, born in December 2019, and a younger daughter named Camila. In December 2021, Cancelo and Daniela’s Manchester home was burgled by four men who stole personal jewellery. Cancelo retaliated in self-defence and suffered facial injuries, but said his family were safe.
