The Argentine also opened up on her relationship with football superstar Ronaldo.
She says being with the 819 career-goal forward has allowed her to fulfil many of her dreams – but insists she had the same drive and hunger before the money and the fame.
And despite Ronaldo’s woes on the pitch, both at Manchester United this season, and Portugal’s early World Cup exit, Georgina insists her man is the best in the world.
She said: “Cristiano and I fell in love at first sight, when I saw him for the first time I felt that time stopped.
“I have never seen a man so handsome, so attentive… he is the most handsome man my eyes have ever seen.
“And yes, I am the girlfriend of the best soccer player in the world, but it is not necessary for people –and many of them women– to use it in a derogatory way.
“Clearly my relationship with him has allowed me to fulfil many of my dreams, but always, both before and after meeting him, I have put the same passion in everything I have done… Being a cleaner, salesperson or model.”
The mother of two also says despite living in a different world to most, everyone can feel the same feeling of being “alone or sad”, and that she too knows “what it is to lose”.
She concluded: “I know that I am like you, that when you come home you just want to take off your shoes and get comfortable.
“I know that reality is sometimes not kind. I know that your life may not be like mine, but what you don’t know is that my life is sometimes like yours.
“I know what it is to be alone or sad. I know what it is to win and I know what it is to lose. Also lose someone. I know that I am being questioned.
“I do it too, and I’m more demanding than you, more severe.
“But I also know how to forgive myself. I know that life is learning.”
