Inside the Engagement: Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez’s $5 Million Ring Revealed
In an announcement that has sent waves through both the sports and fashion worlds, soccer legend Cristiano Ronaldo and his longtime partner Georgina Rodríguez have confirmed their engagement. The couple, whose love story began in 2016 when they first met at a Gucci store in Madrid, shared the joyous news on Instagram with a photograph showcasing Rodríguez’s massive diamond ring. The caption, simply reading, “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives,” speaks volumes about the deep connection between the two.
Rodríguez, 31, and Ronaldo, 40, have two daughters together and have raised Ronaldo’s other three children, blending their lives into a close-knit family. However, their journey hasn’t been without heartbreak. In 2022, the couple tragically lost one of their newborn twins, a son, which deeply impacted them both. Despite the sorrow, their bond has only strengthened, and now, with an engagement that has captured the world’s attention, the couple is set to begin a new chapter in their love story.
Ronaldo, who currently plays for Al-Nassr FC in Saudi Arabia, has been living a new life far from the familiar grounds of Real Madrid and Manchester United. However, his relationship with Rodríguez has remained unwavering, even as they navigate their new life in Riyadh, where Rodríguez shared the engagement news.
While the emotional announcement is undoubtedly a highlight, all eyes are also on the stunning diamond ring adorning Rodríguez’s finger. The exact details of the ring have not been disclosed by the couple or their jeweler, but that hasn’t stopped experts from weighing in. Tobias Kormind, Managing Director of 77 Diamonds in London, has offered his expert opinion on the size and worth of the breathtaking ring. According to Kormind, the oval center stone alone weighs an impressive 35 carats, with the addition of oval side stones in platinum, each approximately one carat, bringing the total carat weight to an astounding 37 carats.
When it comes to price, Kormind has put a value of around $5 million on the engagement ring, a sum that puts it on par with some of the most famous diamonds in the world, including the legendary Taylor-Burton Diamond—a 69.42 carat pear-shaped stone once owned by Elizabeth Taylor. The sheer scale of Rodríguez’s ring, which Kormind likens to the iconic gemstone, further elevates this engagement into the realm of luxury and unparalleled elegance.
Ronaldo and Rodríguez’s family also continues to grow. The couple has four children together—twins Eva Maria and Mateo, born in 2017 via surrogacy, their daughter Alana, born in 2017, and their youngest, Bella, born in 2022. Tragically, Bella’s twin brother passed away shortly after birth in 2022, a loss that the family continues to mourn. Ronaldo also has his eldest son, Cristiano Ronaldo Jr., from a previous relationship.
Rodríguez’s Instagram post, tagged to Riyadh, marks another milestone in the couple’s journey. The news of their engagement comes at a time when Ronaldo’s career continues to shine, with his remarkable 25 goals in 30 Saudi Pro League matches for Al-Nassr last season. As Ronaldo and Rodríguez look to the future, it’s clear that their partnership is not only one built on love but also on the strength and resilience that they share together.
With a dazzling ring, a growing family, and a deep love that spans continents, the couple’s engagement marks the beginning of what is sure to be a dazzling new chapter.
