Eight years into their relationship, football legend Cristiano Ronaldo is formally engaged to long-time girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez. Georgina announced the joyful news on Instagram on Monday, August 11, flaunting her beautiful oval-cut diamond ring with the following caption: “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Who Is Georgina Rodriguez?
Born on January 27, 1994, in Buenos Aires, Argentina, Georgina is of Spanish-Argentine descent. She was brought up in Jaca, Spain, after being relocated from Argentina at a very young age. Things were not easy—she lost her mother in a fatal car accident as a teenager and struggled because her father had been imprisoned for drug-related offenses.
Although ballet-trained, Georgina held a series of jobs to help her family. From waitressing in Jaca to being a nanny in Bristol for £125 a week, she finally found herself in Madrid at the age of 18. There, she split her time between retail and bar work before being taken on as a sales assistant at Gucci—who hired her in 2016.
From Sales Assistant to Style Icon
Their encounter revolutionized all that. Since dating Ronaldo, Georgina has become a top model and businesswoman, featured on covers of Vogue, Elle, and Harper’s Bazaar. She even started her own athleisure brand and featured in a Netflix docu-series, I Am Georgina, highlighting her glitzy lifestyle and inner story.
A Growing Family
The couple has five children together. Ronaldo’s fathered Cristiano Jr. in 2010, then twins Eva and Mateo through surrogacy in 2017. Georgina gave birth to their daughter, Alana Martina, later the same year. In 2022, they had another pair of twins but sadly lost their son, Ángel, during birth.
Now, with an engagement that brings a new beginning, fans everywhere are rejoicing at the love story of the couple.
