Cristiano Ronaldo, 40, and his long-term partner Georgina Rodríguez, 31, have announced their engagement after eight years together.
The news was made public on Monday, 11 August 2025, when Rodríguez posted a photograph on Instagram showing a large diamond ring on her finger.
In the caption of the post that has attracted over 14 million likes, Rodríguez wrote in Spanish: “Sí, quiero. En esta y en todas mis vidas”, which translates to “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.”
The ring, an oval-cut diamond set in platinum, is estimated by jewellery expert Benjamin Khordipour of Estate Diamond Jewelry to weigh 22 carats, with an H color grade and VS1 clarity. It is accompanied by two additional oval diamonds of two carats each. The estimated value of the piece is $1.2 million.
