Cristiano Ronaldo Proposes to Georgina Rodríguez with Massive Diamond Ring
Riyadh, Saudi Arabia – August 11, 2025
Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, has proposed to his longtime partner, Georgina Rodríguez, 31, after nearly a decade together, marking a significant milestone in their high-profile relationship. The engagement was announced by Rodríguez on Instagram on Monday, August 11, 2025, with a photo showcasing an enormous emerald-cut diamond ring on her left hand, resting atop Ronaldo’s. She captioned the post in Spanish, “Sí, quiero. En esta y en todas mis vidas,” translating to “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives,” sparking a frenzy of congratulations from fans and celebrities worldwide.
The couple, who met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid where Rodríguez worked as a sales assistant, have been together for nine years and share two daughters, Alana Martina, 7, and Bella Esmeralda, 3. They also raise Ronaldo’s three other children—Cristiano Jr., 15, and twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8—while mourning the loss of Bella’s twin brother, Ángel, who passed away shortly after birth in April 2022.
Rodríguez’s post, which featured the dazzling ring estimated by jewelry experts to be worth over $1 million and likely exceeding 10-15 carats, drew widespread attention for its size and craftsmanship. The engagement ends years of speculation, as the couple had faced persistent questions about marriage. In Rodríguez’s 2022 Netflix docuseries I Am Georgina, Ronaldo hinted at a future proposal, saying it would happen “when we get that click,” while Rodríguez noted friends often teased her about the delay, referencing Jennifer Lopez’s song “El Anillo” (“The Ring”).
The announcement comes amid Ronaldo’s continued success with Saudi club Al-Nassr, where he signed a historic $244 million contract in 2023, complete with perks like a $5.4 million private jet allowance and a 15% stake in the club. The couple’s life in Saudi Arabia has also drawn attention due to special permission granted to them to cohabit, an exception to local laws prohibiting unmarried couples from living together.
Fans on X celebrated the news, with posts calling the ring “insane” and expressing excitement for a potential new season of I Am Georgina to cover the wedding. However, some skeptical voices questioned the longevity of the marriage, with one user noting Rodríguez’s focus on the ring in her post.
As the world awaits details on the upcoming wedding, the engagement of Ronaldo and Rodríguez, one of football’s most glamorous couples, promises to be a global spectacle. Whether an intimate affair or a lavish event, their next chapter is sure to captivate fans.
