Cristiano Ronaldo has officially proposed to his longtime girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez, sealing their eight-year relationship with a dazzling multi-million-dollar diamond ring. The 40-year-old Portuguese football legend’s engagement to the 31-year-old model was revealed on August 11, 2025, when Rodriguez shared the news on Instagram.

Posting a close-up of the sparkling oval-cut diamond ring, flanked by two side stones, Georgina Rodriguez captioned the engagement post, “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives”. The show-stopping piece has been estimated by jewellery experts to be between 25 and 30 carats, with a value ranging from $2 million to $4 million, placing it among the most expensive celebrity engagement rings ever (via The Cut).
Ronaldo and Rodriguez’s romance began in 2016 when they met at a Gucci store in Madrid, where she worked as a sales assistant. Their relationship became public the following year, and since then, the couple has built a family of five children. Their journey has included joyful milestones and certain heartbreaks, one being the death of their son during childbirth in 2022.
The model’s life with Ronaldo has been documented in her Netflix reality series, I Am Georgina, where fans got a glimpse into their relationship and Ronaldo’s earlier hints about marriage. “I didn’t think at the beginning that [the relationship] would be this strong. But after a while, I felt that she was the woman of my life,” Ronaldo shared in the series.
Speculation about a proposal began months ago when Rodriguez was seen wearing a different ring on her left hand. The chatter intensified after Ronaldo referred to her as his “wife” during the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai.
The engagement was finally confirmed when Rodriguez posted the ring photo this week, making it Instagram official. While Ronaldo himself has yet to publicly comment, the news has quickly gone viral, fueled by his status as the most-followed person on the platform.
