Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez Are Engaged — but All Eyes Are on the Ring
'Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives,' she captioned the photo in her native Spanish.
Immediately, the oval-cut ring had people talking. Some people compared the diamond ring to a Ring Pop, the lollipop candy, and others joked that it was probably so expensive that it could save world hunger.
'To wear this stone regularly, you're going to need a finger reconstruction surgery,' Julia Chafé, a jewelry-focused social media influencer, said in a video on Instagram. 'Just imagine wearing a hundred-pound kettlebell on your finger all day, every day. Painful, but worth it.'
Mr. Ronaldo, 40, and Ms. Rodríguez, 31, met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, where she was working at the time, back when he played for Real Madrid. He now plays in Saudi Arabia for Al Nassr.
Anya Walsh, a jewelry specialist at 77 Diamonds, a retailer based in London, said she was surprised to see a diamond ring that large.

Matt Rife's ELF Makeup Ad Sparks Backlash
A new ad campaign from cosmetics brand e.l.f. starring comedian Matt Rife was met with more hate than laughter as observers slammed the company for choosing a celebrity who joked about domestic violence to be the face of its product line. 'Is Matt Rife here to sell us concealer for black eyes from domestic violence?' read one comment with over 10,000 likes. In the ad, Rife plays fictional injury lawyer ' alongside partner 'Schmarnes,' depicted by drag performer Heidi N Closet. The commercial was an obvious reference to attorneys Cellino & Barnes, whose ads were often seen in the Tri-State Area during the 2000s. 'Hey, girl. Has over-priced beauty hurt your wallet?' Rife says in the parody. 'I know a thing or two about red flags. And pricey makeup? You deserve better than that.' Despite the ad's fun tone, e.l.f. fans were not having it. Viewers were quick to bring up misogynistic bits from the comedian's 2023 Netflix special Matt Rife: Natural Selection. At one point in the special, he joked about a woman receiving a black eye for not cooking well. Following backlash at the time, the comedian offered a stale apology, then told a 6-year-old that the boy's mom bought his Christmas presents with money she earned from OnlyFans. 'ELF IMMA HOLD UR HAND WHEN I SAY THIS…just cuz u got a drag QUEEN in the mix DOES NOT MEAN ITS A GREEN LIGHT FOR MATT RIFEEEGEE??!?,' @kristians_makeup said on Instagram. Rife's e.l.f. ad comes weeks after American Eagle faced scrutiny over its Sydney Sweeney jeans campaign, which some people said promoted white supremacy. Regardless of the original intent, American Eagle's campaign became a cultural debate as right-wingers and MAGA officials commended Sweeney and the ad. 'Did nobody sit there and say, 'Hey, in 2025, when there is an absolute epidemic of violence against women, let's not choose to have the face of our campaign be a man who jokes about domestic violence. Let's not platform Matt Rife,'' Clark said in a video garnering over 160,000 likes.

Last Monkees Star Joins Priscilla Presley in Rare Live Event
Last Monkees Star Joins Priscilla Presley in Rare Live Event originally appeared on Parade. Micky Dolenz, the last remaining member of The Monkees, recently embraced a fun opportunity to connect with fans and reflect on the early days of his career. He headlined the event alongside iconic entertainer Priscilla Presley, 80, to celebrate a notable anniversary. Dolenz took to social media on August 13 to share some highlights of the event where he appeared. "Over the weekend, Micky joined Priscilla Presley to help celebrate 100 years of the historic Des Plaines Theatre," the caption on Dolenz's Instagram post read. The caption indicated that during the event at the Illinois theater, a "special guest" was on hand to represent each decade of the theater's history. Dolenz was the guest during the segment on the 1960s, and Presley was on hand for the 1950s. The event began by showing the first film that was ever shown at the theater. It was a silent film, the caption of the Instagram post indicated, and at the time, the tickets cost only a quarter. Treats, like ice cream, could be purchased for 5 cents. As the celebration continued, attendees were treated to a parade and car show. Dolenz, Presley, and other special guests were a part of those events, where they "kicked off the evening events in style." Several photos were included in Dolenz's Instagram post. One showed him posing with Presley, and another showed them on stage together as they interacted with the audience. The third photo showed the two backstage, along with another of the event's special guests. The event was put together by Onesti Entertainment and took place on August 9. Presley and Dolenz were "Grand Marshals" of the event, along with "Ides of March" and Danny Seraphine, the founding drummer of the band Chicago. The event seemed to be a great success. On the theater's Facebook post about the day, one fan noted it was fantastic. "From the parade of old cars to the performers it was a great journey through the decades. Music combined with on stage interviews with Priscilla and Mickey Dolan (sic) were incredible." Fans gushed over Dolenz and the event on his Instagram post. One wrote, "I loved meeting you and Priscilla!" Another raved, "So cool!!"
