Soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo is engaged to his long-time partner Georgina Rodríguez. The 31-year-old model announced the news on Instagram on Monday, sharing a close-up photo of her diamond ring.

“Yes, I do,” she wrote in Spanish. “In this and in all my lives.” The post quickly attracted millions of likes and thousands of comments from fans and celebrities.

A Relationship That Captured Global Attention

The couple met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, where Rodríguez worked as a sales assistant. Their relationship developed quickly and has been in the public eye ever since. She has been by Ronaldo’s side at major matches, award ceremonies, and charity events.

They share two daughters — Alana Martina, born in 2017, and Bella Esmeralda, born in 2022. Rodríguez also helps raise Ronaldo’s three other children: Cristiano Jr., and twins Eva and Mateo.

In April 2022, they faced tragedy when one of their newborn twins, a boy, passed away shortly after birth. Both have spoken about the loss, crediting family support for helping them through the difficult period.

Ronaldo’s Career and Life in Saudi Arabia

At 40, Ronaldo remains one of the sport’s most recognized figures. His career includes stints at Real Madrid, Manchester United, and Juventus, with numerous domestic and international titles.

In 2022, he joined Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia, where he continues to score prolifically. His presence has boosted the Saudi Pro League’s global visibility. Rodríguez has embraced life in Riyadh, often sharing family moments from their home.

A Private Yet Public Love Story

While their lives are highly public, Ronaldo and Rodríguez often emphasize keeping parts of their relationship private. The engagement signals a new chapter in their story, and speculation about wedding plans is already growing.

Although no date has been announced, fans expect a celebration that matches the couple’s high-profile status.
