Cristiano Ronaldo Engaged to Georgina Rodríguez After Nine Years

Soccer icon Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, has proposed to his long-term partner, Georgina Rodríguez, 31, marking a milestone in their nine-year relationship. Rodríguez announced the engagement on Instagram on August 11, sharing a photo of her hand, adorned with a massive oval-shaped diamond ring, resting on Ronaldo’s, captioned, “Yes I do. In this and all my lives.” The couple, who began dating in 2016 after meeting at a Gucci store in Madrid, have sparked widespread congratulations from fans and media.

Ronaldo and Rodríguez, parents to daughters Alana, 7, and Bella, 3, also raise Ronaldo’s three other children: Cristiano Jr., 15, and twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8. The couple endured the tragic loss of Bella’s twin brother, Ángel, in 2022. Their journey, featured in Netflix’s I Am Georgina, has long fueled engagement rumors, with Rodríguez hinting at her hopes for a proposal. Ronaldo, now playing for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, previously spoke of waiting for the “right moment,” a promise fulfilled ahead of the 2025-26 season.

The engagement, celebrated with a reported $1.2 million ring, comes as Ronaldo signed a two-year, $660.9 million contract extension with Al-Nassr. Fans on X, like @OptimisticAda1, praised the couple’s bond, while others noted the timing aligns with Ronaldo’s focus on family amid a stellar career. Rodríguez, an Argentine-Spanish model and influencer, continues to build her brand, starring in her reality series.

Developing Story

The engagement sets the stage for a high-profile wedding, with speculation about a grand ceremony in Riyadh. Ronaldo’s focus on family and football suggests a new chapter for the couple.
