After nearly a decade as one of the world’s most celebrated couples, football icon Cristiano Ronaldo and model Georgina Rodríguez have officially announced their engagement.

The news was confirmed by Georgina on Instagram with a short yet heartfelt message: “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.”

The couple, who have been together since 2016, are reportedly preparing for their wedding, with the proposal making headlines across global sports and entertainment media.

A Diamond That Stole the Spotlight

Posting from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, Georgina shared a photo of her hand resting on Ronaldo’s, showcasing a massive emerald-cut diamond ring that instantly went viral. The post has already garnered millions of likes.

Jewellery experts estimate the ring’s value at between $2 million and $5 million, noting that the oval-shaped centre stone could weigh up to 30 carats, flanked by smaller diamonds set in platinum.

From Gucci to Global Headlines

Ronaldo and Georgina’s romance began in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, where she worked as a shop assistant. At the time, Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid. Their relationship became public a few months later when they were spotted together at Disneyland Paris.

The pair share two daughters — Alana Martina (born 2017) and Bella Esmeralda (born 2022). The birth of Bella was bittersweet, as her twin brother, Angel, tragically passed away during childbirth. Georgina is also a devoted mother figure to Ronaldo’s three other children: Cristiano Jr., and twins Eva and Mateo.

Life in the Spotlight

Georgina has offered fans a closer look at their life together through her Netflix reality series I Am Georgina, which captures moments from their family life and jet-setting lifestyle. In one episode, she fondly recalled how Ronaldo would pick her up from work in a Bugatti, leaving her colleagues in awe.

A New Chapter Begins

The engagement is a significant milestone for the couple, whose relationship has been closely followed for years. Fans worldwide have flooded social media with congratulatory messages, eager for details of the wedding.

For Ronaldo and Georgina, this step cements their long-standing bond — and marks the beginning of their next chapter together.
