Georgina Rodriguez, the Spanish model and fiancée of football star Cristiano Ronaldo, has faced a wave of criticism on social media over her figure. In response to offensive comments, she posted bikini photos on Instagram taken during a vacation and spoke candidly about societal pressure, reports infohub.kz.
In her post, Georgina wrote: "My body will change, just like every woman's body changes. And I hope it continues to change for many years to come, because that would mean I'm still alive."
The model also shared that she discussed her concerns with her partner. According to her, in recent days, many comments appeared under photos of her on a boat: some discussed her appearance, others came to her defense. Georgina admitted telling Cristiano: "I'm worried that I'm being called fat now, since my job is tied to my looks." The footballer replied: "You don't live because of your looks. You live because of who you are. You're a beautiful woman, gorgeous, with a great figure, a mom, a good person, successful, and living with love. What more could you want? It's only natural that people envy you."
Georgina emphasized that every summer her body becomes a topic of online discussion. "And then I ask myself... Where is this standard? Who decides what body is considered 'right'? Do we still think that happiness is determined by clothing size?" she said.
The model declared that she loves herself as she is. "I love my curves. I love the freedom to live in the body I choose. A body that supports me, that has allowed me to hug, to give life, to fall and get back up. This body deserves respect, love, and gratitude in all its forms. For me, true success has never been about meeting a standard that someone unknown invented. True success is living at peace with yourself. Being with the people I love. Enjoying my family and friends. Taking care of my health. Laughing. Learning. Living," she expressed.
