Cristiano Ronaldo slammed over controversial wedding remark 5 months before engagement
Football star Cristiano Ronaldo made an eyebrow raising comment about marriage just five months before he revealed he's engaged to fiancee Georgina Rodriguez Cristiano Ronaldo made an unusual comment about marriage just months before he popped the question to his fiancée Georgina Rodriguez with a very special ring. The footballing icon, 40, made the all important decision after almost a decade and two children later. They had been hit with questions as to when or if their big day would ever arrive. Cristiano revealed he hadn't asked for Georgina's hand in marriage because the timing wasn't 'quite right'. However, their time has now arrived as Georgina, 31, flashed her huge diamond ring worth millions to her social media followers. It comes after Mel B's 'spiritual' Moroccan wedding with non traditional dress. Amid the flurry of congratulations to the happy couple, a resurfaced clip of Cristiano has made an awkward comeback. The former Manchester United star made a rather unusual remark about marriage just months before. During an episode of Netflix's I am Georgina, the couple spilled on why they were yet to tie the knot. Georgina admitted even her friends and family had expressed concern as to why they hadn't 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." Cristiano then revealed what was holding him back. Speaking in March this year, he confessed: "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 1,000 percent sure that it will happen." Some fans were confused by the comment as they couldn't understand why he made Georgina wait. One said: "8 years to find the click," alongside a crying emoji. Another added: "Ronaldo finally got that 'click' about Georgina after 9 years and 2 children." Someone else wrote: "Just because it 'clicked' for Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez doesn't mean your man will propose after years together. Sometimes it never clicks." While others came to Cristiano's defence as one shared: "Tears, Ronaldo finally found the click." Another added: "It looks like Cristiano Ronaldo finally got 'El click' and proposed to Georgina Rodriguez. What a ring!" Georgina flashed a massive diamond that took up almost half of her ring finger when she shared their happy news. It featured one stunning stone that glistened on the white bedsheets while Cristiano place his hand underneath. According to gemologist Olivia Landau, the ring has set Cristiano back several million. She said: 'Features an oval diamond estimated to be over 10 carats, possibly as large as 15 carats. 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. Depending on the quality, the ring and center diamond are likely worth several million dollars.' The couple met at a Gucci store in 2016, with the ex-Manchester United superstar admitting that it was a case of love at first sight. When celebrating Georgina's birthday earlier this year, Cristiano appeared to hint he had taken that next step. He posted on social media: "For the mother, partner, friend, my wife... happy birthday, love. Your light illuminates us and your love infects us."
