Superstar footballer Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez have confirmed their engagement, ending years of speculation about when the couple would tie the knot.
Georgina shared the joyful news on social media with the heartfelt caption: “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.” The couple, who have two children together, share a blended family with Ronaldo’s three other kids, whom Georgina also lovingly cares for.
Their fans and friends have often teased the couple about wedding plans. On her Netflix reality show I Am Georgina, the 31-year-old 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.”
Though the pair never officially confirmed their marriage plans until now, Ronaldo has frequently referred to Georgina as his “wife.” At the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, the Al Nassr striker said, “It’s a big pleasure to win this trophy. My oldest son is here, my wife [Georgina] is here.”
Earlier this year, Ronaldo posted a loving birthday message for Georgina, calling her “the mother, partner, friend, my wife… Your light illuminates us and your love infects us.”
The couple first met at a Gucci store in 2016, with Ronaldo describing it as love at first sight. In a 2019 interview with Piers Morgan, he said, “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.”
