After nine years together, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez have finally announced their engagement, marking a milestone in their “superstar and Cinderella” love story. With five children and a fortune worth hundreds of millions of euros, the couple’s move toward marriage is no surprise. But what’s got the world buzzing is the dazzling engagement ring, boasting a massive diamond valued at 5-6 million euros, which Georgina showcased to her 68.3 million Instagram followers.
“I said yes. In this life and every life after,” Georgina wrote from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, alongside a photo of her hand, adorned with the ring, resting on Ronaldo’s. The oval-cut diamond, estimated at 35-50 carats by experts, sits on a platinum band, stealing the spotlight. Meanwhile, Ronaldo, with a record-breaking 662 million followers—the most globally—has remained silent, sharing nothing about the joyous news on his Instagram.
Georgina’s post sparked a frenzy, racking up millions of likes and congratulations from fans, including Piers Morgan and YouTube’s official accounts. But not everyone’s impressed. Some X users called the ring “over-the-top” or “tasteless,” igniting debates about the power couple’s style. Still, their romance remains the focus, especially after hints of a wedding in their Netflix series I Am Georgina.
Their love story began in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, where Georgina worked as a sales assistant. From an Argentine girl raised in Spain, she’s become a global fashion icon and influencer. “The first time we held hands, I felt a peace, like I’d known him forever,” she recalled. Her journey from “Cinderella” to Ronaldo’s queen is not just a modern fairy tale but a testament to building her own legacy.
The couple shares five children: Cristiano Jr. (14), twins Mateo and Eva (8), Alana (7), and Bella (2). Georgina emphasized, “The most important thing is that our kids grow up in love, learning to value what they have and to be good people.” Though the wedding date remains undisclosed, the diamond ring signals a lavish ceremony befitting the most powerful couple in football.
