Cristiano Ronaldo’s US$5 million engagement ring for Georgina Rodriguez: everything we know
Footballer Cristiano Ronaldo has built a career on moments of precision, drama and spectacle. On the field, he has spent two decades perfecting the art of the decisive strike—goals that arrive not just at the right time, but with the right flourish. Now, off the field, he has turned that same instinct for the grand gesture toward his personal life.
Ronaldo is now officially engaged to his longtime partner Georgina Rodriguez with whom he has two children. The latter announced their engagement via an Instagram post on August 11 with the caption, “Sí, quiero. En esta y en todas mis vidas. (Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.)”
“Breathtaking,” “beautiful” and “amazing” are only some of the adjectives spectators have used to describe the massive diamond ring. While the couple have yet to give official details apart from the social media post, here is everything everyone has speculated about the enormous rock.

The engagement ring is nothing short of spectacular, covering nearly half of Rodriguez’s finger. It has sent experts scrambling for carat estimates, while luxury commentators have been quick to draw comparisons with the great engagement rings of modern celebrity history.
Crafted in platinum, the ring’s oval-cut diamond is held in an understated double-claw mount, accompanied by two perfectly matched side ovals in a classic three-stone arrangement—a design that eschews excess ornamentation, letting the sheer luminosity and presence of the piece speak for itself.
Experts estimate the centre stone to be between 22 carats and 30 carats with a D colour and flawless clarity, while appraisers estimate the price to be as much as US$4 million. The two side stones (reportedly one carat each) heighten the total carat weight to approximately 37 and the total cost to potentially US$5 million.

Ronaldo and Rodriguez’s love story has always been played at human scale: personal, dignified, and remarkably steady. Rodríguez, a former Gucci boutique assistant, first crossed paths with Cristiano Ronaldo in Madrid around 2016. What followed was a slow-burning courtship, shifting from discreet romance to family life with the birth of their daughter, Alana, in 2017. Another daughter followed in 2022. Together, the couple built their blended family, including the footballer’s three other children from previous relationships.
