Why Cristiano Ronaldo's engagement raised eyebrows
IT was hardly a surprise that the engagement announcement of Cristiano Ronaldo, the global soccer superstar, was accompanied by a photograph of a diamond the size of a jumbo olive. The location tagged in the Instagram post, however – published by his partner of nine years, model and influencer Georgina Rodríguez – raised eyebrows. The photo of her bedazzled hand was not shared from Paris, Bora Bora or Dubai, but from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. Photo: Georgina Rodríguez @georginagio The capital of the conservative Islamic kingdom is not generally known as a place where globe-trotting couples flock to celebrate their romances. A decade ago, the religious police roamed the city streets hunting for unmarried couples and shouting at women to cover their hair. Sex outside of marriage was, until recently, punishable by flogging. Even as fans celebrated the new engagement, the announcement highlighted the fact that the couple were not married and had been living with their children in the Saudi city for two years. Riyadh is where one chapter of Ronaldo's unmarried bliss has played out, after he moved there in 2022 under a hefty contract to play for the Saudi soccer team Al Nassr. He was joined in the city by Rodríguez and their children. Their family appeared to have settled into a comfortable and glamorous life in the kingdom, testing the boundaries of rapid social change in Saudi Arabia. Since he began his rise to power in 2015, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom's de facto ruler, has overseen a flurry of policy shifts that have rendered the once-ultraconservative country nearly unrecognisable – loosening social restrictions while increasing political repression. Years ago, simply riding in a car with an unrelated male driver could prompt questions for women at police checkpoints – a paradoxical conundrum in the kingdom: Women were not allowed to drive until 2018. Today, it is not entirely clear what is allowed. There is no written penal code in the country, and various judges interpret Islamic law – the kingdom's prevailing legal doctrine – differently. That strategic opacity gives the Saudi government wiggle room to manoeuvre as societal changes unfold – occasionally spurring public backlash and seemingly random arrests. Women sometimes take to the streets in shorts and crop tops now, despite public taste regulations that theoretically ban such attire. Alcohol is illegal, but a black market thrives, and, occasionally, visibly inebriated young men can be spotted brawling outside one of the city's 'dry' nightclubs. The Saudi government's Center for International Communication did not respond to a request for comment on whether a special exception was granted to Ronaldo, who is 40 and a native of Portugal. Publicists for Rodríguez and Ronaldo did not respond to questions about their engagement, including whether Saudi Arabia's social norms played any role in their decision to tie the knot. Ronaldo's relocation was a major coup for the Saudi government's efforts to expand its sports sector and reshape the kingdom's image – bringing one of the world's most famous athletes into its fold. The most-followed person on Instagram, he has shared images of life and soccer in Saudi Arabia, showing a different side of the country. Rodríguez, 31, a model and social media influencer who has a Netflix show, has played a key role in that display, attending red carpet events, sunbathing in a bikini outside their sleek villa and visiting five-star resorts with their children. Less privileged women who cannot produce a marriage certificate are generally unable to gain access to medical care, schooling or legal residency for their children, and are unable to register their babies' births. Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez posing for photographers at the European MTV Awards in Seville in 2019. — AP Fuelling rumours and speculation, Ronaldo has referred to Rodríguez several times as his wife. But on her Netflix show, he has reassured fans that they would get married – one day. 'I always tell her: 'When we get that click,'' he said. It was not clear when, or where, the engagement happened. Rodríguez's Instagram post last Monday was captioned only: 'Yes, I do. In this and all of my lives.' In the comments beneath, her Arab followers traded jokes, with one person commenting that it was 'a really fast engagement!' Arabic memes marking the occasion with humour spread swiftly across the internet, with one common riff saying that he had to work in Saudi Arabia for two years to afford marriage. 'It was just the period of 'getting to know each other,'' another meme read, accompanied by a photo of the couple with their children – referring sarcastically to the brief, family-sanctioned dating phase that some Saudi and Arab couples pass through before officially getting married. In June, Ronaldo extended his contract in Saudi Arabia for two more years. 'My family always supports me in my decisions,' he said in a video published by the club. 'The Saudi people treat us very, very good. That's why we want to live there and continue to do our life there.' — ©2025 The New York Times Company This article originally appeared in The New York Times.

Google Maps Trekker spotted walking through Bukit Bintang
Published on: Saturday, August 16, 2025 Published on: Sat, Aug 16, 2025 Text Size: Stills from the video. - Social media KUALA LUMPUR: Navigation apps such as Waze and Google Maps have become part of everyday life in Malaysia and around the world, helping people plan their journeys more easily. In addition to maps, Google also offers features such as Street View on both Google Maps and Google Earth, allowing users to see streets and buildings through panoramic images. Most people are aware that these images are usually captured by specially equipped Google Street View cars fitted with 360-degree cameras. However, not many realise that in areas inaccessible to vehicles, the images are collected on foot by individuals carrying portable camera systems. Recently, a video went viral showing a man walking around Bukit Bintang in Kuala Lumpur carrying a large backpack camera system for Google Maps. The video, uploaded on TikTok by @wbbb_ttt, showed the man crossing pedestrian walkways and using an overhead bridge, attracting the attention of passers-by. The TikTok user remarked that the backpack looked heavy but admitted being excited at the thought of possibly appearing on Street View. Google refers to the portable system as the Trekker, a backpack-mounted 360-degree camera designed to capture narrow streets, pedestrian areas, and other locations only accessible on foot. Social media users responded with a mix of amusement and curiosity, with some joking that it looked like a fun job, while others asked how they could apply to be a Trekker. For many, the sight of Google Maps 'walking' through Bukit Bintang was a reminder of how digital technology continues to map even the busiest corners of the city. * Follow us on our official WhatsApp channel and Telegram for breaking news alerts and key updates! * Do you have access to the Daily Express e-paper and online exclusive news?
