Cristiano Ronaldo and long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez have announced their engagement, ending years of speculation about the couple’s marital plans. Rodríguez disclosed the news on 11 August with an Instagram post showing an oval-cut diamond ring and the caption, “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.” The commitment comes nine years after the pair met in Madrid and amid Ronaldo’s current stint with Saudi Arabian side Al-Nassr. Jewellery experts told Forbes the centre stone appears to approach 50 carats, carries a top-tier D colour grade and could be worth roughly $3 million, placing it among the world’s largest celebrity engagement rings. Other appraisals in European media have suggested a valuation of €5 million to €6 million. Ronaldo, 40, and Rodríguez, 31, share five children and have been living in Riyadh since the forward signed a €200 million-per-season contract with Al-Nassr in 2023. The engagement underscores the commercial power of one of global sport’s most followed couples: Ronaldo was named the world’s highest-paid athlete by Forbes this year, while Rodríguez has built an estimated $10 million fortune through fashion, real-estate and media ventures.
