"Every couple wants to get married and I would love to personally," Rodriguez said to Spanish magazine Hola!. "Right now we have priorities and a lot of responsibilities, although in the future it would be marvellous to become Cristiano's wife."

Throughout the 2018 World Cup, there was conjecture that the pair had got engaged following Rodriguez being spotted sporting a costly ring whilst watching a Portugal game, although this was swiftly dismissed. There had also been later whispers regarding clandestine wedding ceremonies. Although Rodriguez might have needed to wait for a ring, Ronaldo has previously expressed his adoration for her. "She's a fantastic person," Ronaldo said of his new fiancée during an ITV interview in 2019.

On Monday, Ronaldo's partner shared that he had propose d by posting a picture of a huge diamond ring on social media. The caption on the post read: 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.' However, it is an announcement that has been a long time coming for Rodriguez, who shared her desire to marry Ronaldo as far back as 2019. 'Every couple wants to get married and I would love to personally,' Rodriguez told Spanish magazine Hola! 'Right how we have priorities and a lot of responsibilities, although in the future it would be marvellous to become Cristiano's wife.' Rodriguez has risen to fame through her relationship with Ronaldo, forging a modelling career and launching her own clothing line. In 2022, she was the subject of the Netflix documentary 'I Am Georgina', where she once again discussed her thoughts on marriage. 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." The couple have two children together and Rodriguez also helps to raise Ronaldo's three children from previous relationships. He previously claimed that he was waiting for the right moment to propose. "When we get that click. Like everything with our life, and she knows what I'm talking about,' he told Piers Morgan in 2022. '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." During the 2018 World Cup there was speculation that the couple had become engaged after Rodriguez was pictured wearing an expensive ring during a Portugal match, though this was quickly quashed.

"She's a fantastic person,' Ronaldo said of his new fiancée during an ITV interview in 2019. 'Yes, it is [true love]. Yes, it was [like magic meeting for the first time]. Gio is part of me.

She opened her heart to me. '[She's the greatest love of my life]... Why not [get married]? Not now! Not in this interview. Why not, one day... We'll one day, for sure. It's my mum's dream." Ronaldo has seemingly spared no expense on Rodriguez's engagement ring, estimated to be worth around £7.4million ($10m). The former Manchester United star, who is set to earn £492million over the next two years at Al-Nassr, should have no trouble adapting to married life as the football icon regularly refers to Rodriguez as his wife. In an appearance on the WHOOP podcast last year, Ronaldo mentioned speaking with his wife as part of his morning routine. During an awards ceremony in December, Ronaldo was named Best Middle Eastern player and again called Rodriguez his wife. 'It's a big pleasure to win this trophy. My oldest son is here, and my wife is here,' he said. At the start of the year, in a post celebrating Rodriguez's 31st birthday, Ronaldo wrote on Instagram: "For the mother, partner, friend, my wife... happy birthday, love.

Cristiano Ronaldo's fiancée confirms engagement to star with adorable message
Former Manchester United legend Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez have confirmed they are engaged after almost a decade together. Georgina Rodriguez has confirmed she is engaged to football legend Cristiano Ronaldo with a social media post. The couple have been together for almost ten years after instantly falling for one another. The pair share two kids together with Rodriguez stepping in as a stepmother to the footballer's three other kids. Over the years, there has been a lot of speculation about when they were going to officially tie the knot but Ronaldo, 40, has finally popped the question. Along with a snap of a huge ring on her wedding finger, Rodriguez has said: "Yes I do. In this and in all my lives." Argentinian born Rodriguez had posted images of a ring in the past but neither of them had confirmed a proposal had taken place. Ronaldo, who celebrated his 40th birthday earlier this year, previously confessed that he had not asked because the timing wasn't 'quite right'. He said: "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." On her Netflix reality show, I Am Georgina, the 31-year-old said her pals were always asking about their future plans, the Mirror reports. She revealed: "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." Despite not officially confirming their marriage, Ronaldo has often referred to Georgina as his 'wife'. 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." When celebrating her birthday earlier this year, Ronaldo posted on social media: "For the mother, partner, friend, my wife... happy birthday, love. Your light illuminates us and your love infects us." The couple met at a Gucci store in 2016, with the ex-Manchester United superstar confessing that it was a case of love at first sight. He told Piers Morgan during an 2019 interview: "She's a fantastic person. Yes, it is [true love]. Yes, it was [like magic meeting for the first time]. Gio is part of me. She helps me so much. "Of course, I'm in love with her. She's the mum of my kids. I'm so passionate for her. She's my friend, we have conversations. "I open my heart to her. She opened her heart to me. [She's the greatest love of my life]... Why not [get married]. Not now! Not in this interview. Why not, one day... We'll one day, for sure. It's my mum's dream." Since embarking on their relationship, Ronaldo has moved from Real Madrid to Juventus before his incredible return to the Premier League with Manchester United. However, his sensational reunion ended on a bad note after falling out with manager Erik ten Hag leading to his contract being terminated prematurely. He then became the first global superstar to move to Saudi Arabia when he signed a huge contract with Al Nassr in 2023. There had been talks that he could exit the club this summer before signing another huge extension, despite being in his 40s. Join the Daily Record WhatsApp community!

Experts Estimate Price of Cristiano Ronaldo's Engagement Ring for Georgina Rodriguez
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez are engaged after seven years of dating. Star Portuguese footballer Cristiano Ronaldo on Monday got engaged to long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez, after seven years of dating, with the latter revealing the news with a picture of the duo's hands as she proudly flaunted the engagement ring, which had a massive diamond on it. While Ronaldo and Georgina didn't confirm who made the huge bling, experts told Page Six Style that the price tag can fall anywhere between $2 and $5 million. Laura Taylor, an engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, revealed that the centre stone can weigh 15-20 carats, which would cost more than $2 million. Taylor heaped praise on Ronaldo's selection and claimed that it was one of the most brilliant rings they have seen in recent years. 'Oval cuts are known for their brilliant faceting, which maximises sparkle and gives the stone a bright, lively appearance from every angle. The centre stone is flanked by substantial side diamonds, adding even more sparkle and making the already impressive main stone look even larger," Taylor said, as quoted by Page Six Style. 'This is a show-stopping ring and easily among the most impressive we've seen in recent years, which feels perfectly suited to one of football's most famous couples," Taylor added. Ronaldo met Georgina at a Gucci shop in Madrid nine years ago, when the former was playing in La Liga for Real Madrid and the couple have been together since. Ronaldo has five children, two of whom he shares with Georgina. Their youngest daughter, Bella, was born in April 2022, alongside a stillborn baby boy. Georgina, who starred in her own Netflix reality show, I Am Georgina, addressed speculation around her engagement status earlier. '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," Georgina said. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's. Please keep discussions respectful and constructive.
