CINCINNATI, OHIO: IShowSpeed's connection with Ronaldo goes beyond social media. Last month, after Portugal's impressive 3-0 victory against Bosnia & Herzegovina in the UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying clash, IShowSpeed was finally able to meet his idol. It was all thanks to Rafael Leao, who helped orchestrate this dream come true. The YouTuber's excitement was evident. He couldn't contain his emotions, even letting out his iconic bark that left Ronaldo momentarily puzzled. The heartfelt meeting displayed the power of sports and how it can bridge the gap between idols and their adoring fans.
Weeks after that special moment, IShowSpeed reacted to a recent post by Ronaldo, featuring him and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez enjoying a vacation together with beaming smiles. The champion footballer captioned the set of images with a simple and heartfelt message.
'Why are you gay?'
It was in response to this post that IShowSpeed, a well-known Ronaldo fan, couldn't help but express his love for the football legend, commenting, "Love you man."
This interaction between a fan and his idol truly captured the essence of admiration and fandom. Speed's encounter with Ronaldo was a long-awaited moment filled with overwhelming excitement for both the streamer and the chat community. Several years of anticipation culminated in that moment.
Reacting to the interaction, one user wrote, "Why are you gay?" while another said, "Mad man." Someone else commented, "Speed, stfu."
'I want them to connect'
While both Ronaldo and Georgina bask in their immense fame and wealth, their foundations remain firmly rooted in their humble beginnings. Ronaldo's exceptional talent on the football field has propelled him to become one of the greatest players to ever grace the sport. This success has also led to his well-deserved fortune and recognition worldwide. Similarly, Rodriguez, ever since her association with Ronaldo, has become a social media sensation, accumulating a staggering 50 million Instagram followers. However, despite their luxurious lifestyles, Rodriguez is determined to instill important values in their children.
In an episode of the Netflix show 'I am Georgina', Rodriguez discussed her aspirations for her children. She revealed her desire to pass down the same principles her mother instilled in her. Rodriguez wants her children to experience the serene beauty of the countryside and connect with nature. She expressed the importance of allowing them to touch the dirt, feel the trees, and escape the chaos of city life, emphasizing the need to appreciate and preserve nature's wonders. By teaching her children these values, Rodriguez aims to balance their privilege with a grounding connection to the world around them.
“I want to instill in my kids the same thing my mom instilled in me. Being in the countryside, where they can find peace. I want them to connect, it’s good for them to touch the dirt, to touch the trees, to not always be stuck among buildings, trips, cars, and planes. Anyone can have that luxury. It’s nature and it needs to be looked after. We must know how to enjoy it," she said.
