Goooooaaalll! After eight years together, soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo proclaimed his intention to marry longtime love Georgina Rodríguez in dazzling fashion.
The Portuguese footballer, 40, presented the 31-year-old Argentine-Spanish model with a gargantuan oval-cut diamond ring estimated to be more than 30 carats and worth $5 million-plus.
An insider reveals that the pair’s wedding will be similarly “over the top. Expect huge floral bouquets of the most exquisite flowers, musicians, and a guest list to rival a royal wedding.”
The happy couple met in Madrid in 2016 — at the Gucci store where Georgina worked — and she has been by Cristiano’s side as he’s played for teams in Spain, Italy and Saudi Arabia, where they now live with their brood of five. Dad to Cristiano, Jr., 15, from a prior relationship, Cristiano was expecting twins Eva and Mateo, 8, via surrogate when he began dating Georgina, who was soon pregnant with Alana, also 8.
In 2022, daughter Bella arrived. Tragically, her twin brother, Ángel, did not survive. “All of the children will be involved in the wedding,” says the insider. “And they want to honor Ángel in some way.”The insider adds that there’s buzz Georgina’s custom bridal gown— one of several looks she’ll wear on her big day — is already under construction. “There’s no doubt this will be the wedding of the year.”
