After nearly a decade of romance, football icon Cristiano Ronaldo is officially engaged to his long-term partner, Georgina Rodriguez.
Rodriguez, 31, confirmed the news in an Instagram post on Monday, showcasing a dazzling diamond ring on her finger as it gently rests on Ronaldo’s hand.
She captioned the photo: “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
The announcement was met with a wave of congratulations from fans, celebrities, and fellow athletes around the world.
A Love Story Nine Years in the Making
The couple’s journey began in 2016, when Rodriguez was working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid.
Their chance meeting quickly blossomed into one of football’s most high-profile relationships.
Together, they have built a family, raising their two daughters – Alana Martina, 7, and Bella Esmeralda, 3.
Ronaldo also has three other children from previous surrogacy arrangements, with Rodriguez often referring to all of them as “our kids” in interviews and social media posts.

The five-time Ballon d’Or winner recently extended his contract with Al-Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, keeping him at the club until the summer of 2027.
His career move to Saudi Arabia has also seen Rodriguez and the family settle into life in the Middle East, where they continue to attract global media attention.
What’s Next?
While no wedding date has been announced yet, fans are already speculating about where the ceremony might take place – with options ranging from Portugal to Dubai.
After nearly a decade, five children, and a life lived largely in the public eye, the engagement marks a significant and joyous milestone for one of sport’s most famous couples.
