They’ve conquered stadiums, lifted trophies and lived under the brightest sporting spotlights. But in 2026, some of football’s biggest stars had a different kind of winning moment.
The suits came out. The rings went on. The guest lists filled up.
From a dreamy Santorini celebration to a grand French château, these footballers swapped the pitch for the aisle and made 2026 a year to remember.
Cristiano Ronaldo & Georgina Rodríguez
A Quiet “I Do” in Portugal
After nearly a decade of love, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez finally made it official.
The couple married on August 11, 2026, in Cascais, Portugal, choosing an intimate and private celebration surrounded by family. No over-the-top spectacle. No need for a stadium-sized guest list. Just Ronaldo, Georgina, their five children, and a very special “we do.” For a couple whose every move is watched around the world, keeping their wedding close to home made the moment feel all the more personal.
Lucas Hernández & Victoria Triay
Love, Luxury & a French Château
Lucas Hernández and Victoria Triay brought serious château energy to their wedding.
The couple tied the knot on July 25, 2026, at the Abbaye des Vaux-de-Cernay in Yvelines, France, turning the historic venue into the setting for a stylish celebration.
The celebration featured boho-chic details, a glamorous crowd and an evening that seamlessly shifted from wedding celebrations into a lively night of festivities.
And naturally, the guest list had some serious football credentials, with Kylian Mbappé and Achraf Hakimi among those celebrating with the newlyweds.
A French abbey, football royalty and a night filled with celebration? We’re listening.
Omar Marmoush & Jailan El Gabbas
Lake Como, but Make It Forever
From the ancient Pyramids of Giza to the sparkling shores of Lake Como, Omar Marmoush and Jailan El Gabbas gave their wedding celebrations two seriously unforgettable backdrops.
The couple first marked their marriage with an intimate Katb Ketab (Islamic marriage ceremony) at the Pyramids of Giza in Egypt, before taking the celebrations to Lake Como, Italy, for their main wedding celebration.
With its shimmering waters, grand villas and cinematic Italian scenery, the destination was practically made for a wedding. The couple’s celebrations unfolded against one of Italy’s most iconic landscapes, bringing a little la dolce vita glamour to their big day.
Gianluigi Donnarumma & Alessia Elefante
An Italian Fairytale in Puglia
Gianluigi Donnarumma and Alessia Elefante said “I do” on July 24, 2026, in the picturesque town of Locorotondo in Puglia.
Their religious ceremony took place at the Chiesa di San Giorgio Martire, before the celebrations moved to a historic masseria in Fasano.
Cobblestone streets. A centuries-old church. A Puglian masseria. And a guest list packed with football stars.
Basically, an Italian wedding dream brought to life.
Gabriel Martinelli & Isabella Rousso
Santorini, But Make It Intimate
White florals. Blue skies. The Aegean Sea.
Gabriel Martinelli and Isabella Rousso chose Santorini, Greece, as the backdrop for their intimate wedding on July 28, 2026.
The couple exchanged vows at Aion Santorini Wedding Venue, overlooking the famous caldera, with their closest family members and friends by their side.
And intimate did not mean understated.
The two-day celebration unfolded with dreamy white décor, abundant florals and a beautiful floral arch, creating an effortlessly romantic celebration against Santorini’s iconic backdrop.
Gonçalo Ramos & Margarida Amaral Domingues
A Lavish Algarve Celebration
Gonçalo Ramos and Margarida Amaral Domingues turned the Algarve into their wedding playground.
The couple married on July 25, 2026, beginning with a religious ceremony at the Igreja da Ordem Terceira de Nossa Senhora do Monte do Carmo in Faro.
Then came the celebration at Casa da Quinta de Cima in Vila Nova de Cacela. And this was more than a one-day affair.
The festivities kicked off with a pre-wedding dinner before the main celebration, creating a full wedding weekend filled with glamour, celebration and plenty of football friends. A beautiful Algarve setting and a star-studded guest list? Not a bad way to celebrate forever.
Hannes Delcroix & Marie-Ange Delcroix
A Belgian Church Wedding
A beautiful church. A May “I do.” And a brand-new chapter.
Hannes Delcroix and Marie-Ange Delcroix officially became husband and wife on May 20, 2026, exchanging vows at St. Vincentius a Paulo Church in Essen, Antwerp, Belgium.
The couple chose the historic church for their special day, celebrating surrounded by their loved ones in a setting that brought an elegant, intimate feel to the occasion.
Alphonso Davies & Sheyenne Jen
A Château Romance Near Paris
Alphonso Davies and Sheyenne Jen said “I do” in the kind of setting that feels straight out of a fairytale.
The couple married in July 2026 at Château de Saint-Martin-du-Tertre, near Paris, France.
The historic château provided an elegant backdrop for their celebrations, which were kept relatively private before glimpses from the wedding began appearing online.
Davies also brought a personal touch to the occasion by incorporating elements of his heritage into his wedding attire. And there was football royalty in the room too, with Bayern teammate Jamal Musiala among those celebrating with the couple. A château. A love story. A touch of Parisian glamour.
Say less.
Brahim Díaz & Luz Méndez
From “Yes” to “I Do”
Brahim Díaz and Luz Méndez didn’t leave their forever moment waiting too long. After announcing their engagement in May 2026, the couple officially became husband and wife on August 2, 2026.
Méndez had first shared the happy engagement news with photographs showing off her ring, giving fans a glimpse into the next chapter of their relationship. A few months later, the engagement became a marriage.
From the ring reveal to the wedding day, 2026 became the year Brahim and Luz made their love story official.

And Just Like That, They’re Newlyweds.

Different settings, different styles, different ways of saying “I do.”
But the ending?
For these football stars, it’s the same:
Just married.
