Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez Announce Engagement with Stunning Diamond Ring

On August 11, 2025, Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, and Georgina Rodríguez, 31, announced their engagement after eight years together, as confirmed by Rodríguez’s Instagram post from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. The post featured a photo of her hand, adorned with a massive oval-cut diamond ring estimated to be worth $1 million to $4 million, resting atop Ronaldo’s, with the caption, “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.” The announcement, which garnered over 1.6 million likes within an hour, drew congratulations from fans and celebrities like designer Ali Karoui and model Lima Lima.

The couple, who met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid where Rodríguez worked, made their first public appearance at the 2017 Best FIFA Football Awards. They share five children: twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8; Alana, 7; Bella, 3; and Ronaldo’s son, Cristiano Jr., 15, from a previous relationship. Their journey has included the tragic loss of Bella’s twin brother, Ángel, in April 2022. Rodríguez reflected on this in her Netflix series I Am Georgina, noting Ronaldo’s support in overcoming their grief.

Engagement rumors had swirled for years, fueled by Rodríguez wearing a different diamond ring since April 2025 and Ronaldo’s comments about waiting for the right “click.” In July 2025, he told Netflix, “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 ring, described as an emerald-cut diamond over 10 carats set in platinum with baguette side stones, reflects Ronaldo’s lavish style, with his $200 million annual earnings from Al Nassr making the purchase feasible.

Posts on X, like @Todi_M2’s, expressed excitement for a potential new season of I Am Georgina to cover the wedding, while @YahooSports celebrated the milestone. No wedding date has been announced, but the couple’s high-profile status ensures anticipation for a grand celebration.
