Cristiano Ronaldo to Marry After Becoming Father of Five, Engaged to Girlfriend After 8 Years of Dating

Lisbon, August 12

Football icon Cristiano Ronaldo, widely regarded as one of the greatest players in history, is set to embark on a new chapter in his personal life. After eight years of dating and becoming the father of five children, Ronaldo has officially proposed to his longtime partner Georgina Rodríguez.

The couple’s engagement has put an end to years of speculation, with fans and media alike eagerly awaiting confirmation of their wedding plans.

A Love Story That Began in Madrid

Cristiano and Georgina’s romance began in late 2016, when they met at a luxury Gucci store in Madrid, where Georgina was working as a sales assistant. Ronaldo, who was then playing for Real Madrid, was instantly drawn to her.

Their first meeting soon blossomed into a relationship, and the pair were often seen together at public events, vacations, and family gatherings.

Family First

Over the years, Ronaldo and Georgina have built a blended family of five children:

• Cristiano Jr. (born 2010, via surrogate)
• Twins Eva and Mateo (born 2017, via surrogate)
• Alana Martina (born 2017, with Georgina)
• Bella Esmeralda (born 2022, with Georgina)

Tragically, in 2022, the couple also faced the loss of their baby boy, one of Bella’s twin siblings, shortly after birth. Ronaldo has publicly praised Georgina’s strength during that difficult period.

The Proposal

Reports suggest that Ronaldo proposed during a private family vacation in Sardinia, Italy. The football star arranged a romantic dinner aboard a luxury yacht, where he presented Georgina with a dazzling diamond ring estimated to be worth millions.

Wedding Speculation

While the couple has not disclosed an exact wedding date, sources close to Ronaldo say they are considering a ceremony in Madeira, Portugal — Ronaldo’s birthplace — followed by a celebration in Spain.

Given Ronaldo’s global fame, the event is expected to draw international attention, with celebrities, sports legends, and political figures likely to attend.

Why They Waited

Despite being together for nearly a decade, the couple delayed marriage due to Ronaldo’s busy football career, frequent relocations, and a preference for focusing on their family life. However, insiders reveal that Ronaldo always intended to make Georgina his wife when the time was right.

Public Reaction

Fans flooded social media with congratulatory messages:

• “The GOAT scores again!”
• “The best goal of his life.”
• “Finally! We’ve been waiting for this for years.”

Sports commentators have also noted how Ronaldo’s personal stability with Georgina has contributed to his longevity and performance in football.

Life Beyond Football

In addition to his sports career, Ronaldo is a global entrepreneur, running a chain of hotels, fashion brands, and fitness centers. Georgina, who has a strong following on social media, has also carved out her own identity as a model, influencer, and philanthropist. She starred in her own Netflix reality series, “I Am Georgina,” giving fans a closer look into their luxurious yet family-focused life.

What’s Next

With the engagement now official, attention turns to the wedding preparations. Fans are eager to know the location, guest list, and whether the ceremony will be televised or kept private.

One thing is certain — whether on the pitch or in his personal life, Cristiano Ronaldo knows how to make headlines.
