· The South African
The 2026 Soccer World Cup is now a thing of the past, but the ladies beside some of the world’s most famous and rich soccer players are making an impression like never before.

This new breed of WAG (Wives and girlfriends – specifically of sportsmen) is business-minded, rich in their own right, glamous but relatable, and gorgeous to boot, all while supporting the men they’ve build life with.
We take a look at three such woman to see what makes them stand out among the rest.
Georgina Rodriguez (Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner)
32-year-old Argentine-Spanish model and mother to her partner, Portugal’s Cristiano Ronaldo’s five children, Rodriguez is no stranger to the spotlight. She is a successful model who travels the world on Ronaldo’s private jet.
Whether it’s to modelling assignments or events like the Cannes Film Festival, Rodriguez (affecftionately known as Gio) has mastered the game of fame in her own right, despite being attached to one of the best soccer players in the world.
She has three seasons of her own reality show on Netflix called Soy Georgina (I am Georgina), which shows a woman who enjoys her life while balancing motherhood, modelling and her relationship with Ronaldo (41).
She is always dripping in expensive diamonds, but is surprisingly relatable for someone who leads such a glamourous life. Despite all of that, her philanthropic heart is on display when she supports charities that mean the most to her.
Antonela Roccuzzo (Lionel Messi’s wife)
As the woman comforting one of the most heartbroken men in soccer after Argentina’s World Cup dreams were dashed when they lost the final 0-1 to Spain on Sunday, Antonela Roccuzzo is certainly up to the task.
She has been married to Messi (39) for nine years, and they have three sons together. Their relationships began as childhood friends in their hometown of Rosario, Argentina.
The 38-year-old is an influencer who is making her own name in the business, clinching campaigns for the likes of Adidas and gracing the covers of magazines like Harper’s Bazaar.
Dominique Pretorius (Fiancée to Bradley Cross)
Bradley Cross’s fiancée Dominique Pretorius made it to our list because she is starting to make her mark on social media. Perhaps a burgeoning influencer, Pretorius is loving Cross loud while maintaining a certain level of privacy.
Her sense of humour is evident in her TikTok posts, but we also see her enjoying her life, holidaying with Cross and supporting the the Kaizer Chiefs player in his soccer career.
Not only is she beautiful, but has brians to boot. She is a qualified teacher’s assistant.

Ester Expósito (Kylian Mbappé’s girlfriend)
Spanish actress and model Ester Expósito is celebrating her home country’s World Cup victory, despite her man’s team’s loss in the tournament.
The Frenchman had a victory of his own, having won the Golden Boot Award as the highest scorer in the World Cup after scoring 10 goals.
The couple is hush-hush about their relationship, only being loosely linked to each other without solid confirmation from either party.
Career-focused Expósito (26) chose to rather direct fans to her work, rather than her relationship, displaying her modelling and acting work on her social media.
Expósito is best known for her starring role as Carla Rosón Caleruega in the Netflix teen drama series Elite.
It is, perhaps, a good idea to keep things under wraps, for the sake of the relationship.
