Ronaldo's partner sparks online storm with Hebrew post

Portuguese soccer star Christiano Ronaldo’s partner, Georgina Rodríguez, sparked an online backlash after posting a Hebrew word in a vacation video, Ynet reported on Saturday.

Rodríguez, an Argentine and Spanish social media personality, model, and entrepreneur, shared footage from the family’s trip to Mallorca with the caption “בריאה” (“healthy”), prompting thousands of comments questioning her use of Hebrew and igniting political arguments. Some users responded with pro-Palestinian messages and speculation about a possible connection to Israel.

Israeli activist Hen Mazzig weighed in on X, writing that Rodríguez “posted a vacation video with one word in Hebrew ‘בריאה’ meaning healthy and creation,” adding that comments quickly filled with reactions such as “Why Hebrew???” and “Free Palestine.”

“They’re not angry at Israel. They’re angry that Hebrew exists. The Jewish language,” Mazzig wrote.
