Cristiano Ronaldo, one of the world’s most celebrated footballers, has announced his engagement to his long-time partner, model and businesswoman Georgina Rodríguez.
The couple shared their happy news on Monday via Georgina’s Instagram page, where she posted a close-up shot of a spectacular diamond ring. The dazzling piece instantly caught fans’ attention, but it was her heartfelt caption that confirmed the milestone moment:
“Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Ronaldo and Rodríguez have been together since 2016, after meeting in Madrid where she was working as a sales assistant in a luxury boutique. Over the years, they’ve built a family together, raising their children while balancing the demands of Ronaldo’s global football career and Georgina’s flourishing modelling and brand ventures.
Up until now, Georgina has worn an impressive diamond ring, leading many to assume the pair were already engaged. However, it’s now clear that this latest ring, far larger and more intricate, is the official symbol of their decision to marry.

Only last month, Ronaldo addressed the subject of marriage during his Netflix docuseries, giving fans a rare glimpse into their private life.
“I always tell her, ‘When we get that click.’ Like everything with our life, and she knows what I’m talking about,” he explained. “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.”
It seems that “click” has now arrived.
The news has delighted fans worldwide, with the engagement announcement quickly amassing millions of likes and thousands of congratulatory comments within hours. Among the messages were warm wishes from fellow footballers, celebrities, and brands the couple have collaborated with over the years.
While no wedding date has yet been set, speculation is already rife about where the ceremony might take place. Given Ronaldo’s roots in Portugal and Georgina’s Spanish-Argentine heritage, fans are predicting a lavish celebration in Europe, possibly blending traditions from both cultures.
Ronaldo, 40 this year, remains at the top of his game both on and off the pitch, currently playing for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia. Georgina, meanwhile, has become a public figure in her own right, with a Netflix reality series, fashion endorsements, and a loyal following of over 50 million on Instagram.
Their engagement marks another chapter in a relationship that has been lived under the spotlight yet appears to have grown stronger with time. For now, fans will have to wait for more details about the wedding, but if the engagement ring is anything to go by, it promises to be a truly spectacular affair.
