If you were still catching your breath from Belly’s engagement ring from The Summer I Turned Pretty, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez just delivered the ultimate upgrade.
After nine years together, and a blended family of five kids, the football G.O.A.T and his long-time partner have officially put a (colossal) ring on it. And not just any ring: this diamond looks like it’s been on Ronaldo’s training schedule, hitting its protein goals and then some more.
On Monday, Rodríguez posted a candid close-up of the sparkler on Instagram with the caption, “Sí, quiero. En esta y en todas mis vidas” (“Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives”).
Their romance, which began with a chance meeting in a Gucci store in Madrid, has taken them from Spain to Saudi Arabia, with the Argentine- Spanish model front and center as the glamorous matriarch of their blended family. Fans have seen it all play out on her Netflix series I Am Georgina, where Ronaldo once teased he’d propose “when we get that click.” Engagement whispers have surrounded the couple since their earliest public appearances together, picking up speed earlier this year, when Ronaldo called Georgina his “wife” on stage at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai.
For a ring nine years in the making, it does not disappoint. Reports say it’s an oval-cut diamond measuring over five centimetres long (yes, you read that right! ). Experts guess that the main oval diamond could be anywhere between 25-35 carats. And there’s more, the main gem is flanked by two “smaller” side stones , each the size of an average engagement ring. Experts estimate those to be around a carat each, with the whole thing landing somewhere between $2–$5 million depending on its cut, clarity, and color.
Jewellery influencer Julia Chafe summed it up best: “it’s like wearing a kettlebell on your finger”.
