Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are officially taking their love story to the next level. After nearly a decade together, the couple is set to walk down the aisle, ending years of speculation about a possible secret wedding.
Their romance began in 2016, and over the years, they’ve built a family that blends their worlds. They share two children, with Georgina lovingly stepping into the role of stepmother to Ronaldo’s three other kids.
Ronaldo proposes to Georgina Rodriguez with expensive ring
The big news came straight from Georgina’s Instagram on Monday, August 11. She shared a heartfelt photo of her hand gently resting on Ronaldo’s, the centrepiece, a dazzling oval-cut diamond ring, catching the light. The caption read simply but profoundly:
“Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Those words, paired with the glittering image, sent social media into a frenzy. Within hours, the post racked up over 12 million likes, 250,000 comments, and more than 2 million shares.
While the engagement is the heart of the story, the ring is undeniably stealing the spotlight. Experts estimate its worth at over $5 million.
The centrepiece is believed to be an emerald-cut diamond weighing between 10 and 15 carats, set in platinum with tapered baguette side stones.
Brisbane-based jewellery expert Nick Ireland suspects it might be even bigger, possibly around 30 carats. “I think it’s somewhere around 30 carats in size, judging by the photo,” he told 9honey.
In his words, it’s “a beautiful, big oval-cut diamond” that, surprisingly, might be easier to assemble and clean than a smaller gem.
Lionel Messi’s wife reacts to Ronaldo’s proposal
Among the millions who reacted to Georgina’s post was Antonela Roccuzzo, wife of Lionel Messi. With just a single ‘like,’ she quietly joined in the celebration.
It may seem like a small gesture, but in a football world often painted in rivalries, especially between the Messi and Ronaldo camps, it spoke volumes.
Fans noticed immediately, with many praising the warmth and respect it represented. Some even called it a refreshing reminder that admiration can exist beyond competition.
