Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez Are Engaged After Nine Years Together
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have confirmed that they are engaged after nine years together, marking a new chapter in one of the most celebrated relationships in sports and popular culture. Georgina shared the news on Instagram in Spanish, alongside a photograph of a dazzling diamond ring, writing, “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
The ring, which jewelry expert Benjamin Khordipour has estimated to be a 22-carat oval diamond of H color and VS1 clarity, is set in platinum and accompanied by two smaller oval diamonds weighing two carats each. The estimated value of the piece is $1.2 million, a sum well within reach for Ronaldo, whose annual earnings reportedly exceed $200 million.

This isn’t the first time Georgina has been seen with a standout piece of jewelry on her left hand; earlier this year, she was spotted in public sporting a sizable emerald-cut diamond, sparking speculation about an impending engagement. Back then, she let fans’ imaginations run wild regarding the ring’s significance. Now, with this formal announcement, the anticipation has reached its conclusion.
The couple’s story began in 2016 when they met at a Gucci store in Madrid, where Georgina was working as a sales associate and Ronaldo was the star forward for Real Madrid. In her Netflix documentary I Am Georgina, she fondly recalled the moment, describing how their eyes met and an instant connection formed.

Friends often teased Georgina about a wedding, to which she responded with patience, knowing Ronaldo was waiting for what he called “that click.” In the series, Ronaldo explained, “Like everything in our life, she knows what I am talking about,” adding that he was one thousand percent certain they would marry. Georgina, speaking about her partner, said, “Cristiano is great, he is a very normal guy. I dreamed of having a Prince Charming by my side and now I have him.”
Their relationship has been shaped not only by public attention but also by the life they’ve built together as parents. The couple shares three children, including their daughters Alana, born in 2017, and Bella, born in April 2022, along with her twin baby boy who tragically was stillborn. Georgina helps raise Ronaldo’s three other children, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr. and twins Eva and Mateo, creating a close-knit, blended family.

The engagement announcement has drawn warm congratulations from prominent figures including Kim Kardashian, Piers Morgan, Charlotte Tilbury, and Lauren Sánchez-Bezos, each offering praise and good wishes.
The family currently resides in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Ronaldo plays for Al-Nassr. In June 2025, the 40-year-old extended his contract with the club until 2027, ending speculation about his retirement. In his statement about the extension, Ronaldo said, “A new chapter begins. Same passion, same dream. Let’s make history together.”
