Cristiano Ronaldo engagement to Georgina Rodriguez confirmed with adorable message

Georgina Rodriguez has confirmed her engagement to football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo with a post on social media. The couple have been together for almost a decade after instantly falling for each other.

They have two children together, with Rodriguezacting as stepmother to his other three kids. There have been constant questions about when they intend to tie the knot, with the 40-year-old finally popping the question.

Along with a picture of a huge ring on her wedding finger, Rodriguez has said: "Yes I do. In this and in all my lives."

Argentinian born Rodriguez has previously posted images of a ring, but neither had officially confirmed a proposal. Ronaldo, who has recently celebrated his 40th birthday had previously admitted that he hadn't asked for her hand in marriage because the timing isn't 'quite right'.

He said: "I always tell her: 'When we get that click. Like everything with our life, and she knows what I'm talking about. It could be in a year or it could be in six months or it could be in a month. I'm 1000% sure that it'll happen."

On her Netflix reality show 'I Am Georgina', the 31-year-old said her friends are always asking about the happy couple's plans. She 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."

Despite not officially confirming their marriage, Ronaldo has often referred to Georgina as his 'wife'. In December, at the 2024 Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai, he said: "It’s a big pleasure to win this trophy. My oldest son is here, my wife [Georgina] is here."

Earlier this year, when celebrating her birthday, Ronaldo posted on social media: : "For the mother, partner, friend, my wife... happy birthday, love. Your light illuminates us and your love infects us."

The couple met at a Gucci store in 2016, with the ex-Manchester United superstar admitting that it was a case of love at first sight. "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.," he told Piers Morgan in an interview in 2019.

"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."

Since linking up, Ronaldo has moved from Real Madrid to Juventus, before his sensational return to the Premier League with Manchester United. But his incredible reunion ended on a sour note after falling out with manager Erik ten Hag leading to his contract being terminated prematurely.

He then became the first global superstar to move to Saudi Arabia when he signed a huge contract with Al Nassr in 2023. There had been speculation that he could leave the club this summer, before signing another huge extension, despite being in his 40s.

Ronaldo has admitted that his legendary career is now into it's final stages, suggesting retirement will be on the cards in the next few years. Speaking in June, he said: "My mentality is to live day by day. I don't have many more years to play…but I'm enjoying the moment.

"There's no day decided for my retirement. I feel happy, I'm here to enjoy and keep going until the day I [don't feel] like this."
