Cristiano Ronaldo’s fiancée Georgina Rodriguez was seen departing Venice on Monday, while once again flashing her $3m (£2.2m) engagement ring.
The Argentine-Spanish model, 31, is set to marry the Portuguese footballer, 40, after he popped the question last month, in a proposal that left jaws on the floor around the globe when Georgina unveiled the eye-popping diamond.
Cutting a chic figure in jeans and a T-shirt, she headed to Venice Airport on Monday morning yet could not resist wagging her ring to vying photographers while clutching a $115k (£85k) Hermes Birkin Crocodile bag.
She has been in Venice to mark the 82nd Venice International Film Festival, where she was sure to make a mark on Sunday as she ostentatiously flashed her diamond as she hit the red carpet at the Filming Italy Venice Award.
Every eye in the location was drawn to both Georgina and her 30-carat diamond, as she hit the red carpet in a sizzling black dress – a look far removed from her more minimal airport look which she glammed up with Celine sunglasses.
The previous evening, Georgina not only flashed her engagement ring but a whole host of diamonds in ring, necklace and watch form.
In the collection, she sported rings from Pasquale Bruni’s latest Rosina collection, which features white gold and encrusted with diamonds, rubies and pink sapphire, was handmade in Italy by the designer, for whom Georgina is an ambassador.
The collection is said to honour the ‘quiet power of women, heir deep and mysterious beauty and their endless capacity to blossom wherever life takes them.’
Born in Valenza, Italy, designer Pasquale Bruni is said to have infused it’s Italian heritage into every piece, with inspiration stemming ‘Milan’s secret gardens to the skies above’.
She topped up the her selection with two Giardini Segreti rings, each worth £17,860 – all addition to her dazzling engagement ring, which experts have estimated to be worth an eye-wattering 3 to 5 million dollars.
Georgina stacked the collection with a three leaf ring from the Giardini collection – worn on her left index finger – which is priced at £9,470.
She also wore Aleluia earrings, also by Pasquale Bruni, in 18k white gold with diamonds, which are valued at around £9,920.
Georgina has previously represented the brand wearing the Heart to Earth collection while attending the Venice Film Festival in 2023.
She joined forces with the brand in November 2024, and has continued to set foot on red carpets laced in Bruni finery.
Sharing her excitement at the time, she said: ‘I am thrilled and excited to unveil this important campaign for which Eugenia [the brand’s creative director] chose me. It is a celebration that honours my authentic connection and years of love for Pasquale Bruni, creations that have felt like a part of me from the very first moment.’
When the couple announced their engagement earlier this month, fans were gobsmacked by the enormity of her nuptial ring thought to be worth at least $3 million.
Laura Taylor, engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, said: ‘Georgina Rodríguez’s engagement ring from Cristiano Ronaldo is an extraordinary piece, featuring what appears to be an oval-cut diamond in the 15 to 20 carat range.
The footballer only recently hit the headlines when he admitted that he would not propose to the mother of two of his children until everything had ‘clicked’.
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 per cent 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, Cristiano has frequently referred to Georgina 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.
Meanwhile Jude Law and his beloved wife Phillippa Coan looked smitten holding hands as they were seeing arriving at Venice Airport on Monday amid the 82nd Film Festival.
The British acting legend, 52, looked in very jovial spirits flashing a gentle beam as he sported a navy jacket, grey trousers and dark shades.
Meanwhile business psychologist Philippa, 38, rocked an effortlessly chic look in a grey co-ord featuring a sleeveless tank and smart trousers.
She added a pair of classy black sandals and a matching tote bag, while also shielding behind a pair of stylish sunglasses.
The happy couple – who have been married since 2019 – made time to stop for a few lucky fans despite the busy schedule.
The Holiday star looked unbothered by the mob of fans and instead flashed a smile on his way out.
The Lewisham-born actor ensured to sign a few autographs before departing from Italian soil, where he attended the premiere of his new espionage thriller Wizard Of The Kremlin the day prior.
