Cristiano Ronaldo’s Partner Leads Most Followed WAGs on Instagram After Sadio Mane’s Wedding

• Sadio Mane became the latest high-profile footballer to get married
• Mane's wife, 18-year-old Aisha Tamba, is not on social media
• Georgina Rodriguez leads a list of the most followed WAGs on Instagram

Sadio Mane was the main talking point for the better part of last week, just before AFCON 2023 began after he married his 18-year-old girlfriend, Aisha Tamba.

The Liverpool legend had in the past indicated that he would only marry a woman who wasn't on social media, among other things.

Tamba then ruffled a few feathers when she claimed she did not know who Cristiano Ronaldo's partner, Georgina Rodriguez, was. That could set up an awkward reunion when Mane returns to Al-Nassr.

Side note

Shakira would easily have taken the number one spot but given that she broke up with retired Barcelona star, Gerard Pique, she is no longer considered a WAG to a football player.

The Colombian pop queen has an amazing reach of 90.4 million followers.
