Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have announced their engagement as the WAG took to Instagram to show off her enormous diamond ring on Monday.
The Portuguese footballer, 40, finally popped the question after nine years together, following months of engagement speculation.
Confirming their engagement, the Argentine-Spanish model, 31, wrote: ‘Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.’
Up until now, Georgina has worn a different diamond ring, but the couple were understood to have not been engaged during this time.
Fans have speculated the pair got engaged last month after the model shared pictures of a bridal-themed dinner, complete with ‘D heart G’ pillows, a six-piece band and stunning white flower arrangements.
She also wore a giant sparkler on her wedding ring finger, hinting at the pair’s secret engagement.
Georgina and Ronaldo’s celebrity pals congratulated the pair on their engagement in the comments.
Lauren Sanchez Bezos commented: ‘So happy for you. ❤️’, Fellow WAG Taylor Ward wrote: ‘Amazing, congratulations ❤️❤️’
Charlotte Tilbury wrote: ‘Darling, what fabulous news!!! Sending you both heartfelt congratulations and so much LOVE!!’
Piers Morgan penned: ‘Wonderful news! Many congrats to you both’.
Only last month, Ronaldo shared the brutal reason behind why they aren’t married.
He said on Netflix: ‘I always tell her, “when we get that click.” Like everything with our life, and she knows what I’m talking about.
‘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.’
The couple have been in a relationship since 2016 and have daughters Alana, seven, and two-year-old Bella together. She is also the stepmother of his other three children.
In an interview for her Netflix reality show I Am Georgina, the model told how she has been teased by friends over when she will get married.
She said: ‘They’re always joking about the wedding. “When is the wedding?” Since Jennifer Lopez’s song “The Ring Or When” came out, they started singing it to me. And well, this is not up to me.’
Even though they aren’t married, Ronaldo has frequently referred to Rodriguez as his ‘wife in the past’.
In December, at the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, he said: ‘It’s a big pleasure to win this trophy. My oldest son is here, my wife [Georgina] is here.’
And in a game of Mr. and Mrs. on his YouTube channel back in late August, he gave her the same title.
In the same video, the couple also appeared to be wearing wedding rings.
Following the surprise title, another video resurfaced, where he casually called Georgina his wife whilst discussing his morning routine.
Speaking on the WHOOP podcast, he said: ‘I take my coffee when I start my day. It’s my routine..in the morning, I take my coffee, speak with my kids, with my wife and start the day.’
With Ronaldo plying his trade in Saudi with Al-Nassr, the couple reside in the capital Riyadh.
