Cristiano Ronaldo
Manchester United icon Cristiano Ronaldo has confirmed his engagement to long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez, marking a significant milestone in their nearly decade-long relationship. The couple, who met while Ronaldo was at Real Madrid, have been together for almost ten years and share two children, with Rodriguez also being a stepmother to Ronaldo’s three other kids. The announcement comes after years of speculation surrounding their engagement status.
Georgina Rodriguez said: “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Ronaldo said: “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.”
Rodriguez 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!”
The engagement was revealed through a social media post featuring an image of Rodriguez with a large ring on her wedding finger. The post quickly gained attention, with Diogo Dalot, Ronaldo’s teammate from the Portugal national team, liking the image on Instagram. This public acknowledgment marks a new chapter for the couple, who have previously kept details of their personal lives relatively private.
Ronaldo has often referred to Rodriguez as his ‘wife’ in public, including during the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, where he expressed his pleasure at winning a trophy with his family present. Earlier this year, he shared a heartfelt birthday message for Rodriguez, calling her his “wife” and expressing his love and admiration for her.
The couple’s engagement has been a topic of interest among fans and media alike, especially after Rodriguez’s Netflix reality show ‘I Am Georgina’ highlighted her friends’ constant inquiries about their wedding plans. With this official announcement, Ronaldo and Rodriguez have put an end to the speculation, setting the stage for their future together.
