Cristiano Ronaldo (40, Al Nassr) has finally decided to get married. He proposed to his girlfriend Georgina Rodriguez.

The global sports media 'beIN Sports' reported on the 12th (Korean time), "It's official! Georgina and Ronaldo are engaged, and their wedding is approaching."

The media reported, "Georgina's latest Instagram post is heating up social media among her followers, including football fans and models. She shared a photo holding hands with Ronaldo in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, showcasing an emerald-cut diamond ring."

On the same day, Georgina shared a photo with Ronaldo, holding hands while wearing a large diamond ring on her bed. She also wrote, "Yes, I want that. In this life and in all of my lives," indicating that she accepted Ronaldo's proposal. This signifies that the couple, who have been together for 9 years, has finally decided to officially become a married couple.

According to U.S. 'Page Six', the engagement ring gifted by Ronaldo appears to be around 30 carats, with the center stone estimated to be 15 to 20 carats. Its total value is estimated to reach up to $5 million (about 6.9615 billion won).

Ronaldo and Georgina began dating in 2016. At that time, Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid, and Georgina was working at a Gucci store in Madrid, Spain. A few months later, the couple's relationship became public when they were spotted together at Disneyland Paris.

The couple is already in a de facto relationship. Georgina gave birth to their first child, Alana Martina, in April 2017, and she had twins in April 2022. However, there was a tragedy during the childbirth process when Angel, the twin brother of Bella Esmeralda, sadly passed away.

Georgina is raising not only the two children she gave birth to but also three other children of Ronaldo. The Ronaldo family consists of a total of seven members, including Cristiano Jr., born in 2010, and twins Eva and Matteo, born from a surrogate mother in 2017.

However, Ronaldo has rarely formally married Georgina. He has said, "I always tell Georgina that I will propose when I hear the perfect 'snap'. I think that day will come someday," continuing to maintain their de facto relationship.

Because of this, there were opinions that Ronaldo would never become a formal husband to Georgina. There were suspicions that he, who had sparked numerous rumors, would not settle down with one woman legally.

However, Ronaldo surprised everyone by deciding to tie the knot with Georgina. It seems that the perfect 'snap' has finally been heard. The news of the superstar's marriage has received a warm response from fans. Georgina's post has already garnered nearly 7 million 'likes' and 170,000 congratulatory comments.

This is also welcome news for Saudi authorities. In fact, Islamic law strictly prohibits cohabitation that is not within marriage. Cohabitation is plainly illegal in Saudi Arabia, but Ronaldo has received exceptional treatment. However, after about two and a half years since joining Saudi Arabia, Ronaldo has decided to end his cohabitation and marry Georgina.

Meanwhile, Ronaldo continues to showcase his unblemished skills in Saudi Arabia. He joined Al Nassr after leaving Manchester United in December 2022 and has recorded 111 matches, 99 goals, and 19 assists so far. Recently, Ronaldo signed a contract extension, deciding to continue his journey with Al Nassr.
