In an Instagram post dated August 11, 2025, Georgina Rodríguez confirmed her engagement to football icon Cristiano Ronaldo with a touching caption: 

“Yes I do. In this life and in all my lives.”

The dazzling engagement ring quickly became the subject of global fascination. Experts estimate the oval-cut centre diamond to weigh anywhere between 15 and 35 carats, with side stones contributing to a total of around thirty-seven carats. Its price tag? Estimates range from $2 million to $5 million, depending on the diamond’s quality and craftsmanship. Laura Taylor of Lorel Diamonds calls it “extraordinary”, while social-media jewellery critic Julia Chafe humorously compared its weight to that of a kettlebell.

The couple first met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, where Georgina was working. Their relationship became public in 2017, and over the years, they have built a close-knit blended family. They share daughters Alana and Bella, twins Eva and Mateo, and Ronaldo’s son Cristiano Jr. The couple also tragically endured the loss of a newborn son, Ángel, in 2022.

Currently based in Riyadh, where Ronaldo plays for Al-Nassr, the announcement marks a new chapter in their high-profile partnership. Fans and celebrities flooded social media with congratulations, describing the post as social-media gold. Though details about the wedding—such as timing or venue—haven’t been released, expectations are high that it will be a grand, globally watched affair.
