After eight years of dating, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez became engaged in August 2024. Ronaldo has revealed the details of the evening he proposed to Georgina Rodríguez. In a recent interview, Ronaldo stated that Rodriguez, 31, didn’t give a damn about the engagement ring’s value or appearance. The 40-year-old Portuguese football player told Piers Morgan, “One thing that I love is that she didn’t care about the ring.” “I said, ‘I want you and I want to marry you,’ when she asked if I was being honest.” Ronaldo acknowledged that he started crying during the proposal. He said, “I had tears in my eyes, but I didn’t cry.”
The player went on to say that he had carefully considered Rodríguez’s preferences when selecting the diamond. He remarked, “She always dreamed of having a beautiful stone.” “I put a lot of effort into finding one that she would adore.” Ronaldo claimed that although he is “not a romantic guy,” the proposal came about on its own. It was approximately one in the morning. My daughters had fallen asleep. At that moment, my two children entered and said, “Daddy, you’re going to give the ring to mum!” after one of my friends gave me the ring. It was an indication that the moment was right.
“I knew I would do it one day, but I hadn’t planned to do it that night,” he went on. It was perfect—my friends were shooting, my girls said it. In addition, Ronaldo gave a brief speech during the proposal, describing it as “a beautiful moment” with the woman he refers to as “the love of my life.” Ronaldo stated that the wedding will not happen anytime soon, thus the couple has not yet planned it. “Not yet,” he clarified. “We’re going to do it with the trophy after the World Cup! I’ll respect her dislike of large gatherings. In August, the couple shared a picture of Rodríguez’s massive diamond ring, which is thought to weigh 37 carats and be worth about $5 million, to announce their engagement.
