Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez Announce Engagement After 9 Years Together
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have announced their engagement after nearly a decade together, highlighted by a stunning diamond ring shared on social media. The milestone marks a new chapter for the couple, who share a blended family and have navigated personal triumphs and tragedies.
Today, global football icon Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-term partner, Georgina Rodríguez, announced their engagement, marking a significant milestone in their nearly decade-long relationship. The 31-year-old Argentine-Spanish model shared the news on Instagram, posting a photo of a dazzling diamond ring on her left hand, placed over Ronaldo’s, with the caption, “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.” The ring, estimated to be worth over a million dollars and exceeding 10-15 carats, has drawn widespread attention for its size and craftsmanship.
The couple, who began dating in 2016 after meeting at a Gucci store in Madrid where Rodríguez worked, have built a family together, raising five children: daughters Alana, 7, and Bella, 3, and Ronaldo’s three older children, Cristiano Jr., 15, and twins Eva and Mateo, 8. Tragically, they lost Bella’s twin brother during childbirth in 2022, a loss they described as “the greatest pain that any parent can feel,” while expressing gratitude for their daughter’s birth, which gave them “the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.”
Ronaldo, 40, had previously hinted at marriage in Rodríguez’s Netflix series, I Am Georgina, saying, “I always tell her, ‘when we get that click.’ It could be in a year or it could be in six months or it could be in a month. I’m 1000% sure that it’ll happen.” The engagement follows years of speculation, fueled by Rodríguez wearing a different ring in April 2025 and Ronaldo referring to her as his “wife” last December. Now based in Riyadh, where Ronaldo plays for Al-Nassr on a £173 million-a-year contract, the couple’s engagement has sparked excitement about their upcoming wedding plans, with fans eagerly awaiting details of what promises to be a grand celebration.
