Georgina Rodríguez has once again set social media alight, this time because of a single word in Hebrew.
Cristiano Ronaldo’s partner and the mother of his children shared a striking video of the Spanish island of Mallorca during the family’s vacation, but it was the caption she added that drew all the attention: “Healthy,” written in Hebrew.
Within minutes, the post was flooded with reactions, many from users who did not understand why she had chosen Hebrew.
Comments included: “You might as well have written Palestine,” “Why in Hebrew???” and “Ronaldo in Israel?”
Others posted emojis and stickers of Lamine Yamal holding a Palestinian flag, turning the post into a heated arena for online arguments.
This is not the first time Ronaldo and Rodríguez’s family vacation has generated headlines.

Only a few days earlier, another post by the soccer star went viral after he shared a childhood photo of himself alongside a similar image of his son, Cristiano Junior, on a beach in Mallorca. The post was shared millions of times and became one of the most discussed items on social media.
The Hebrew caption also carried a broader context that added to the attention.
On October 11, 2023, four days after the October 7 attack, Rodríguez became the center of a social media controversy after initially sharing an Instagram story featuring a photograph of a girl from Gaza. Many interpreted the post as a one-sided expression of support for the Palestinians.
Following a wave of sharp criticism, she deleted the story and replaced it with a new version featuring two photographs, one of an injured Israeli child and another of the same girl from Gaza, alongside a message calling for peace.
