Possibly one of the most famous wives and girlfriends (WAGS) of sports stars of this generation, Georgina Rodriguez, who is the partner of footballer Cristiano Ronaldo, is on TV again as her Netflix reality show is back for a second season. 

Georgina’s show, simply titled I am Georgina follows her luxurious life, her modelling and influencing career, and now rising five kids with her superstar football player. 

The first season was successful and in the second season, the star will be looking back to the heartbreaking moment when she lost one of her twins, a baby boy during birth. 

Georgina was pregnant with twins and last year, gave birth to their surviving daughter, Bella Esmeralda in April 2022. 

A year on

Almost a year later, viewers and fans will get an honest reflection from the mother. 

A trailer was released this week, and this is the first time she is speaking about it. You see an emotional Georgina reflecting on the aftermath of the tragic loss.

With flashing cameras in the background, she says: “No really knows. This year I had the best and worst year of my life and life is hard. Life goes on. I have reason to move on and be strong“.

The 29-year-old says her long-time partner, Ronaldo had been by her side throughout their ordeal as they attempt to get to some normalcy.
