She announced the news on social media alongside a picture of a large ring, writing “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives” in her native Spanish.<\/p>\n
No further details have been shared. Ronaldo, who is the most followed person on Instagram, has not yet made a comment about their engagement. <\/p>\n
The couple have been together for nine years, after they met at a Gucci shop in Madrid where Rodr\u00edguez was working. He was playing at the Spanish club Real Madrid at the time. <\/p>\n
The Portugal and Al-Nassr player has five children in total, two of whom he shares with Rodr\u00edguez. <\/p>\n
Their youngest daughter Bella was born in April 2022, alongside a baby boy who was stillborn. <\/a><\/p>\n Rodr\u00edguez has also helped to raise Ronaldo’s other three children.<\/p>\n The 31-year-old, who starred in her own Netflix reality show I Am Georgina, previously addressed speculation around her engagement status. On the programme, she said her friends were “always joking about the wedding.”<\/p>\n “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,” she added. <\/p>\n Famous faces including Kim Kardashian have liked the engagement announcement on social media. Piers Morgan, who interviewed Ronaldo in 2022, wished them “as much success in their marriage as he’s had on the football pitch!” <\/p>\n Celebrity make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury commented that it was “fabulous news”. Lauren Sanchez-Bezos, who married Amazon founder Jeff Bezos<\/a> in June, said she was “so happy” for the couple. <\/p>\n
