Georgina Rodriguez has officially revealed her engagement to football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, sharing the happy news with fans on social media. The couple, who have been together for nearly a decade, first met in 2016 and quickly fell for one another. They share two children, Alana, 7, and Bella, 2. Rodriguez also playing a loving role as stepmother to Ronaldo’s three other children.

For years, speculation swirled about when the pair might walk down the aisle. Now, the 40-year-old forward has finally proposed. Posting a photo of an impressive diamond ring on her wedding finger, Rodriguez wrote: "Yes I do. In this and in all my lives." The Argentinian-born model had previously shared glimpses of a ring online, but neither had confirmed an engagement until now. Ronaldo—who recently marked his 40th birthday—had admitted in past interviews that he was waiting for “the right moment” to propose. "It could be in a year, six months, or a month. I’m 1000% sure it will happen," he said in a candid chat.

Rodriguez herself has opened up about the constant curiosity surrounding their relationship, even joking on her Netflix series I Am Georgina that friends often tease her about wedding plans. "Since Jennifer Lopez’s song 'The Ring Or When' came out, they’ve been singing it to me," she laughed. Despite the lack of a formal marriage until now, Ronaldo has often referred to Georgina as his wife. At the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards, he introduced her as such, and earlier this year, he marked her birthday with a heartfelt tribute: "For the mother, partner, friend, my wife… happy birthday, love. Your light illuminates us and your love inspires us."

Their romance began when Ronaldo spotted her working in a Gucci store, describing the encounter as “love at first sight.” Speaking to Piers Morgan in 2019, he called her “the greatest love of my life” and admitted marriage was something they both envisioned, even if not immediately. Since they met, Ronaldo’s career has taken him from Real Madrid to Juventus, then back to Manchester United, before a highly publicized move to Saudi club Al Nassr in 2023. While rumors of his departure surfaced this summer, he extended his contract, though he acknowledges he’s in the final chapters of his career. "I don’t have many more years to play… but I’m enjoying the moment," Ronaldo said in June. "I’ll keep going until the day I no longer feel like this."
