Did Cristiano Ronaldo's fiancée Georgina Rodriguez debut a SECOND engagement ring?
Cristiano Ronaldo 's fiancée, Georgina Rodriguez, appeared to debut a second engagement ring in a new series of snaps posted on Instagram on Wednesday. The Argentine-Spanish model, 31, posed in a skimpy white Alo set, including tiny white shorts and a matching bra, while sporting a massive rock on her finger. But the ring appeared to be different than the massive 10-carat oval diamond that Ronaldo proposed with last week. Instead, it was a giant square-cut set on a silver band, raising the question, did he give her another rock? However, it doesn't appear to have been gifted to her by the sports star as she's previously been spotted wearing it in various Instagram pictures. The bling definitely rivaled her engagement ring, which she debuted last week, looking to be almost as many carats, if not larger. She showed the ring off in multiple photos, striking poses with confidence by the Red Sea shore, capturing a stunning sunset behind her. The couple announced they were set to wed after almost a decade together in an Instagram post on Monday evening. The Argentine-Spanish model, 31, posed in a skimpy white Alo set, including tiny white shorts and a matching bra, while sporting a massive rock on her finger Confirming their engagement, the model wrote: 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.' According to New York City gemologist and founder of The Clear Cut Olivia Landau, Rodriguez's oval ring is worth 'several million dollars.' 'It features an oval diamond estimated to be over 10 carats, possibly as large as 15 carats,' Landau told the Daily Mail at the time. 'It appears to be flanked by two smaller oval diamond side stones, each approximately 2–3 carats. The setting is platinum with double claw prongs on all four corners,' she continued. 'Depending on the quality, the ring and center diamond are likely worth several million dollars.' Ronaldo has been dating Rodriguez since 2017, after they met at the Gucci store where she was working as a sales assistant. That same year, they also announced that Rodriguez was pregnant with the soccer player's fourth child - a daughter named Alana Martina. Then, in 2021, they announced that they were expecting twins - but tragically, their baby boy passed away during birth. However, their daughter, Bella Esmeralda, survived. Now, after tackling parenthood together, it looks like a wedding is next up on the list for the couple. 'I didn't think at the beginning that [the relationship] would be this strong. That I would fall in love with her,' Ronaldo shared during the first episode of his soon-to-be-wife's Netflix reality series, I Am Georgina. 'I didn't expect it honestly. But after a while I felt that she was the woman of my life,' he said.

Newly engaged Georgina Rodriguez shows off her jaw-dropping curves in tiny white shorts and bra as she flashes dazzling diamond rings in beach snaps
Georgina Rodriguez sent temperatures soaring in a slew of sexy beach snaps as she showed off her dazzling diamonds. The Argentine-Spanish model, 31, posed in a skimpy white Alo set including skimpy shorts and a bra. The fiancé of Cristiano Ronaldo was a vision while striking poses with confidence by the Red Sea shore, capturing a stunning sunset behind her. And the WAG also didn't shy away from displaying her eye-watering jewellery, after the Portoguese football legend, 40, proposed to her last week. She wasn't wearing the jaw-dropping 30 carat ring, said to be worth $3 million, Cristiano proposed with, but instead rocked another huge diamond she has previously been spotted wearing. The couple announced they are set to wed after almost a decade together in an Instagram post on Monday evening. Confirming their engagement the Latina beauty wrote: 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.' Up until now, Georgina has worn a different diamond ring, but the couple were understood to have not been engaged during this time. Fans have speculated the pair got engaged last month after the model shared pictures of a bridal-themed dinner, complete with 'C heart G' pillows, a six-piece band and stunning white flower arrangements. She also wore a giant sparkler on her wedding ring finger, hinting at the pair's secret engagement. Georgina and Ronaldo's celebrity pals congratulated the pair on their engagement in the comments. Lauren Sanchez Bezos commented: 'So happy for you. ❤️', Fellow WAG Taylor Ward wrote: 'Amazing, congratulations ❤️❤️' Charlotte Tilbury wrote: 'Darling, what fabulous news!!! Sending you both heartfelt congratulations and so much LOVE!!' Piers Morgan penned: 'Wonderful news! Many congrats to you both'. The footballer only recently hit the headlines when he admitted that he would not propose to the mother of two of his children until everything had 'clicked'. He said on Netflix: 'I always tell her, 'when we get that click.' 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.' The couple have been in a relationship since 2016 and have daughters Alana, seven, and two-year-old Bella together. She is also the stepmother of his other three children. In an interview for her Netflix reality show I Am Georgina, the model told how she has been teased by friends over when she will get married. She 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.' Even though they aren't married, Cristiano has frequently referred to Georgina as his 'wife in the past'. In December, at the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, he said: 'It's a big pleasure to win this trophy. My oldest son is here, my wife [Georgina] is here.' And in a game of Mr. and Mrs. on his YouTube channel back in late August, he gave her the same title. In the same video, the couple also appeared to be wearing wedding rings. Following the surprise title, another video resurfaced, where he casually called Georgina his wife whilst discussing his morning routine. Speaking on the WHOOP podcast, he said: 'I take my coffee when I start my day. It's my the morning, I take my coffee, speak with my kids, with my wife and start the day.' With Ronaldo plying his trade in Saudi with Al-Nassr, the couple reside in the capital Riyadh. The happy news comes after the pair were devastated when they lost one of their twins during Georgina's childbirth in 2022. They were devastated when their male twin tragically died - a loss they later described as 'the greatest pain.' 'It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce that our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel,' read an announcement shared by the couple. 'Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness. 'We would like to thank the doctors and nurses for all their expert care and support. We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time.
