Cristiano Ronaldo proposes to Georgina Rodriguez
After years of building a life together, Ronaldo has officially asked Georgina to marry him.
The lovers share two children, with Georgina also embracing her role as stepmother to Ronaldo’s three other kids.
Speculation about a secret wedding has circulated for years, but the pair have now made it clear they intend to walk down the aisle, though the date remains a mystery.
On Monday, August 11, Georgina announced the engagement on Instagram, sharing a photo of her hand resting on Ronaldo’s, showcasing a stunning oval-shaped diamond ring.
“Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.”
That single sentence, paired with the dazzling image, was enough to send fans and friends flooding her comments with congratulations, according to GOAL.
What did Messi wife say about Ronaldo’s engagement?
Rodriguez’s Instagram post has amassed 12.4 million likes, over 250,000 comments, and 2.1 million shares. One of the accounts that liked the post was Antonela Roccuzzo, Lionel Messi’s wife.
Roccuzzo and Messi tied the knot in 2017 and share three sons: Mateo, Thiago and Ciro.
What is the cost of Georgina Rodriguez’s diamond ring?
While the engagement itself is the headline, the ring is undeniably the showstopper.
Reports suggest Ronaldo spared no expense, with experts estimating its value at over $5 million.
The centrepiece is an emerald-cut diamond believed to be between 10 and 15 carats, set in platinum and flanked by tapered baguette side stones.

A gem of such quality, a D-colour-grade flawless diamond, could fetch upwards of $5 million.
Brisbane-based jewellery designer Nick Ireland, one of Australia’s top diamond experts, believes it might be even larger.
“I think it’s somewhere around 30 carats in size, I would’ve thought by looking at the photo,” he told 9honey.
Ireland estimates the diamond alone could be worth around $5 million, depending on specific factors.
He described it as “a beautiful, big oval-cut diamond” with smaller side stones that may also be oval.
The stone itself could weigh about six grams, with the setting and additional diamonds bringing the total to between ten and fifteen grams.
Surprisingly, Ireland added that a diamond of this magnitude might be easier to assemble and clean than a smaller one, a detail as intriguing as the ring itself.
