From Goals to Gold: Ronaldo's engagement ring has a champion's price tag
The Al-Nassr winger announced his engagement to his partner Georgina Rodriguez on Monday (August 11), and in true Ronaldo fashion, didn't do anything in half measures — namely the ring, which was, to put it lightly, massive.
With the couple being together for nine years, the ring has been obviously a massive talking point, with some jewellers reckoning that it could cost nearly $5million (€4.2million).
No details of the ring have been revealed at the time of writing, but several jewellers and diamond connoisseurs have reckoned that the ring cost millions.
Tobias Kormind, director of 77 Diamonds in London, claimed to People magazine that the oval cut diamond is around 37 carats, and is worth a massive £3.7million (€4.2million), while Loren Diamonds' Laura Taylor reckoned that the diamonds range between 15-20 carats, for a more *ahem* 'affordable' price of over £1.5million (€1.73million).
Another jeweller and diamond aficionado in Julia Chafe added that the ring is still worth an estimated £2.2million (€2.5million). Georgina Rodriguez's engagement ring is rumoured to cost between €1.7million to €4.2million. Pic: Georgina Rodriguez/Instagram
Despite the unconfirmed value of the giant rock, people still found the ring remarkable; with Ronaldo's now fiancée sharing a photo of her holding up the ring on Instagram, saying in the post 'yes I do. In this and all my lives.'
The couple met in 2016 when Georgina, a dancer and model, worked at a Gucci store. They share five children together — three of whom were born via two separate surrogate mothers — with them tragically losing their baby boy, who was set to be one half of twins, in 2022.
The couple said at the time that 'only the birth of our baby girl gives us strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.' Ronaldo and Georgina have been together since 2016. Pic: Instagram
Ronaldo, one of the most recognisable footballers in the world, recently signed a new contract with Al-Nassr, his current club in Saudi Arabia, which will see the 40-year-old stay on until the 2027 season.
He's also expected to play in the World Cup in 2026 with Portugal.
What do we think? Has Ronaldo set off a new wedding trend or are we not loving it?

Fans were delighted by the announcement NEW VENTURE 'Can't wait,' cry fans as mum-to-be & former Ms Ireland launches new podcast with ex-reality TV co-star FORMER Ms Ireland Chelsea Farrell has launched a brand new podcast alongside her reality TV co-star. The Irish star is currently expecting her first child and recently found out that she's having a baby girl. 2 Reality TV co-stars Chelsea Farrell and Louis Grace have launched a new podcast Credit: Instagram 2 Chelsea is expecting her first child Credit: Instagram Taking to her Instagram yesterday, Chelsea and Louis Grace made the exciting announcement that they would once again be joining forces. This time the pair will be seen teaming up to launch a new podcast called Sit Back Down. The iconic duo were last spotted on E4's Love Triangle earlier this year - where Chelsea met the father of her unborn daughter, James Barham. However, since the show and Chelsea's pregnancy the pair have broken up. And the podcast duo have hinted that nothing - including Chelsea's break-up - will be off the cards. Announcing their new podcast, they wrote on Instagram: "The secret's finally out. . . "Introducing 'Sit Back Down' - hosted by Louis and Chelsea. Set your Alarms for Episode One FIRST THING tomorrow morning." Delighted friends and fans rushed to the TV star's comment section to gush over the news. Mandy wrote: "Congrats Chelsea xx." Ainie said: "Huge congratulations love the name." Chelsea Farrell finds out gender of baby Chloe commented: "The best duo ever." Another fan added: "Can't wait to have a listen." Earlier this summer, Chelsea told how she had a scary experience when she was rushed to hospital. The Louth native found out she was pregnant on the same night that the first episode of Love Triangle was broadcast, on March 10, 2025. 'NEVER A DULL MOMENT' The reality star then found out in July that she's having a baby girl at her gender reveal party. However, just days after the celebration, Chelsea had to be rushed into hospital. But thankfully both mother and baby were both fine. At the time, the TV star told her fans: "I have been admitted to hospital unexpectedly. . . Never a dull moment. "Had a scary afternoon yesterday but thankfully I'm in the best place and they've taken great care of me and baba."

Didn't bag Oasis tickets? Definitely maybe check out this independent Dublin festival instead
The Works Festival, in the CIÉ Hall at Inchicore's Sports and Social Club, is offering up everything from live music acts and cheap pints to a céilí and an art market over two days this weekend. Promoter Adam Kelly told the Irish Independent that all acts set to perform are unsigned and have come through the weekly open mic he runs in the Board venue on Clanbrassil Street in Dublin city. "They are not on the bigger stages yet, but in previous years we have had the likes of the Onion Boys and Shakalak who have gone on to do bigger things,' Mr Kelly said. Music acts include instrumental funk band Chief Keegan, emerging Irish indie rockers Dominda, pixie-indie singer songwriter RVE and folk artist Kenan Flannery, along with spoken word from The Vagabond Queen. Guests will also be treated to a live podcast from the Slim & Light podcast duo. With drinks priced much lower than many pubs in the city centre, you'd soon forget about the Oasis gigs this weekend. "The social club is a non-profit organisation, and any money that they make goes back into the club. So they're able to keep the price of a pint a lot cheaper than you get in the city centre. The last time I checked, the price of a pint was €5,' he said. The CIÉ Hall also has a great history, and was the site where locomotives were serviced before being moved to Heuston Station, and is now a social club for retired Iarnród Eireann workers. 'The Works itself is the name of the building, and that's why we used it again in the festival, a nod to the past and all we have going on at the festival at the moment too,' Mr Kelly said. "Unfortunately, we had our dates booked before Oasis announced their gig. 'But hopefully, people who couldn't manage to get tickets, a bit like myself, will come down to us.' The festival will run this Friday and Saturday, and to find out more, check out @theworksfestival on Instagram. Tickets are €30 for both days or €20 for one and are available here. Other gigs being held in Dublin this weekend include Belfast punk Stiff Little Fingers at the Academy on Friday at 7pm. This follows their previous sold-out headline gig last August. The Bernard Shaw is also hosting a block party this Saturday and Sunday, the first in a series of day-into-night parties it's hosting. Each day, the festivities will kick off at 12pm, with an emphasis on electronic music. Saturday will see performances from DJs including Óptimo Espacio and Phil Hartnoll of Orbital. Declan McKenna will perform on Sunday, as well as DJ Clint Boon and more. For more information, check out
