Cristiano Ronaldo has officially sealed his long-time romance with Georgina Rodríguez — putting a dazzling diamond ring on her finger after nearly a decade together.
The 40-year-old football icon’s fiancée confirmed the news on Instagram, sharing a close-up of the glittering ring alongside the heartfelt caption: “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Rodríguez and Ronaldo share two daughters and have lovingly raised his other three children together. Over their nine-year journey, they’ve navigated life’s highs and lows — each challenge only deepening their bond.
A Love Story Born in Madrid
The couple’s story began in 2016, when Ronaldo walked into a Gucci store in Madrid where Rodríguez was working as a sales assistant. Both have described their connection as “love at first sight.”
In the Netflix docuseries I Am Georgina, Ronaldo reflected on those early days:
“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.”
They made their first public appearance together in January 2017 at the Best FIFA Football Awards in Zurich, accompanied by Ronaldo’s son, Cristiano Jr. By May of that year, their romance became Instagram-official.
That summer, Ronaldo welcomed twins Eva and Mateo via surrogacy, and months later, Georgina announced her pregnancy. In November 2017, their daughter Alana Martina was born.
Building a Life Together
When Ronaldo moved to Juventus in 2018, Georgina expanded her career as a model and global influencer. Engagement rumours swirled in 2021 but remained unconfirmed, though their relationship remained strong.
In October 2021, they shared the joyful news that they were expecting twins, posting a sweet family video captioned: “Where life begins and love never ends ❤️ #blessed.”
Joy and Heartbreak
Tragedy struck in April 2022 when the couple announced that one of their newborn twins — a baby boy — had passed away during birth.
“It is with our deepest sadness that we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel,” they wrote.
Their surviving twin daughter, Bella Esmeralda, became a symbol of hope and healing for the family.
“Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness,” they shared.
Now, with a sparkling engagement marking this new chapter, Ronaldo and Rodríguez’s love story continues — proof that even in the face of loss, love can shine brighter than ever.
