Dubai: Cristiano Ronaldo has put an end to years of speculation by getting engaged to his long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez. The model and social media personality, 31, revealed the news with a sparkling Instagram post that instantly set the internet buzzing.

Georgina, who has been with Ronaldo since 2016, shared a close-up photo of her hand resting on top of the football star’s, showcasing an enormous diamond ring on her left finger. She captioned the image with a heartwarming message: “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”

The couple have been together for nearly a decade and share four children. Ronaldo, now 40, had long been rumoured to be considering marriage, but had never confirmed plans — until now. Back in April, Georgina had sparked engagement talk when she posted a different ring on her finger, but the Portuguese star remained tight-lipped.

The latest post, however, leaves little doubt. Alongside the romantic announcement, Georgina and Ronaldo recently fuelled chatter about a possible secret wedding after sharing another ring photo on social media. Fans speculated that the pair may have already tied the knot quietly, but neither has confirmed such reports.

The engagement reveal came shortly after the couple hosted a lavish yet intimate gathering at their home in Saudi Arabia to celebrate Friendship Day. Georgina shared a series of images and videos from the event, where she looked radiant in a white dress with a delicate pink floral pattern.

Celebrating friendship

Her first post from the occasion carried the caption “Floral summer”, while a second post — featuring a video of the festivities — was captioned “Celebrating friendship. Who has good friends has a treasure.”

The party appeared to include close friends and family, with the couple enjoying a relaxed atmosphere away from the pitch and spotlight. The images showed Georgina mingling with guests and Ronaldo smiling warmly in several candid moments.

Ronaldo, currently starring for Al Nassr in the Saudi Pro League, has been in a relationship with Georgina since their meeting in Madrid nearly nine years ago. Over the years, she has become a constant presence in his life, often seen supporting him at matches and accompanying him at public events.

With the engagement now official, fans across the globe are eagerly awaiting more details — whether that’s about an upcoming wedding or confirmation that the world’s most famous footballer may have already said “I do.”
