Georgina and Cristiano have been isolating with their family – Cristiano Jr, Ronaldo’s twins Eva and Mateo, three, and their daughter Alana, two, after relocating from Portugal to Turin in northern Italy.

They returned to Turin at the start of May and were required to spend 14 days at home in self-isolation as per government rules for international arrivals.
