One of football's biggest stars, Cristiano Ronaldo, is engaged to his partner of many years, Georgina Rodríguez. She confirmed the news herself on Instagram on August 11, 2025, sharing a photo of a stunning diamond ring and a heartfelt message that read, "Yes I do. In this life and in all my lives."
This is a big step for the couple, who have been together for about ten years and have experienced the ups and downs of a high-profile life.
The Engagement Ring Steals the Headlines
Although the announcement displayed suspense for fans, it was the ring that quickly went social media viral.
- Experts believe the oval-cut diamond in the centre weighs around 15 to 35 carats, with the other stones completing a weight of roughly 37 carats.
- Depending on quality and workmanship it could be appraised for as much as $5 million.
- As for the choice of an oval-cut, it is perceived to be timeless and personal - and represents a sense of elegance and permanence.
There is symbolic nature to the ring not only as a statement of their relationship but as a reflection of the scope and grandeur normally associated with how Ronaldo presents himself to the public.
How the Love Story Started
Cristiano and Georgina first met in 2016 when she was working at Gucci in Madrid as a sales assistant. They encountered each other again at a fashion event, and then they began to build their connection.
By 2017, it had become public knowledge and they were frequently seen attending matches, charity events, and family outings together. Georgina went from being a private partner to a regular companion for Ronaldo, both personally and in front of the media.
Creating a Family Together
Much of the couple's life together has revolved around family just as much as romance. Their blended family consists of:
- Twins Eva Maria and Mateo—2017 surrogacy.
- Daughter Alana—also born in 2017.
- Daughter Bella—born in 2022.
- Cristiano Jr.—Ronaldo's first son from a previous relationship.
In April 2022, the couple suffered the unimaginable loss of their son, Ángel, shortly after birth. Ronaldo and Georgina have since shared their experience and talked about this time in their life and the challenges it posed to the couple but also the family's closeness.
Why This Moment Is Important for Fans
This engagement feels like a logical next step for a couple that has shared a life together. Fans have watched them from afar on their journey across multiple countries over the years — from meeting in Madrid to parenting their children across 4 countries: Spain, Italy, England, and now as Ronaldo plays for Al Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
This announcement hits home because it’s not only a celebrity story. It’s a story about:
- Two people from different walks of life finding common ground.
- Maintaining a relationship under the glare of the public eye.
- Adjusting to personal loss while continuing to build futures together.
What Comes Next
While a wedding date has not yet been announced, speculation is already underway. Because of Ronaldo's worldwide profile, it's fair to assume any ceremony would garner international interest. At this stage, it seems both are enjoying this new phase of their relationship while also balancing their busy professional and family life.
