Cristiano Ronaldo and his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez will be permitted to live together in Saudi Arabia despite the Kingdom's laws which prevent unmarried couples from co-habiting.

The 37-year-old star striker joined Saudi Arabian club Al Nassr on a two-and-a-half-year deal believed to be worth around US$200 million per year.

Argentine-born Spanish model Rodriguez, who accompanied Ronaldo at the unveiling, will also move to Riyadh along with Ronaldo's five children, of which two are her own.

The pair have never married, and with Saudi's Islamic laws strictly prohibiting 'cohabitation without a marriage contract' it was unclear how the family would remain together.

However, authorities are said to be turning a blind eye, allowing Rodriguez and Ronaldo to live under one roof given the star power that the footballer brings, two Saudi lawyers told Spanish press.
