Georgina Rodriguez has turned heads at the Venice Film Festival, where she proudly showed off a dazzling engagement ring from football legend Cristiano Ronaldo.
The Spanish-Argentinian model, 31, sparkled on the red carpet with a 30-carat oval-cut diamond that experts have valued at up to $10 million (£7.5 million).
Rodriguez, who has been with the Portuguese forward for eight years, posed confidently for photographers, making sure the massive jewel caught the light from every angle.
Her glamorous look was completed with a fitted lace gown, three more statement rings and a chunky diamond choker, ensuring all eyes were on her.
The engagement comes after Ronaldo, 40, reportedly popped the question last month. The pair confirmed the news on Instagram, sharing a picture of their hands entwined alongside the caption: “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Friends and fellow celebrities rushed to congratulate the couple, who first met in 2016 while Rodriguez was working at a Gucci boutique in Madrid.
Since then, the pair have built a family together. They share daughters Alana, eight, and Bella, three, while Georgina has also embraced the role of mother to Ronaldo’s older children.
Cristiano Jr, 15, who is already making a name for himself at Al-Nassr’s U15 academy, as well as twins Eva and Mateo, eight, are also part of the family unit.
The football star has never publicly revealed the identity of Cristiano Jr’s mother, telling interviewers that the matter was private and that he would share the truth only with his son when the time was right.
In 2017, the couple’s family expanded further when Ronaldo welcomed twins via a surrogate, shortly before his relationship with Georgina became serious.
Their journey has not been without heartbreak. In 2022, the couple lost their newborn son during childbirth, a tragedy they described as “the greatest pain any parent can feel.”
In a moving joint statement, they said: “Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.”
They went on to thank medical staff for their care, asking for privacy during what they called the most difficult chapter of their lives.
Despite personal tragedy, Rodriguez has been an unwavering presence in Ronaldo’s life, supporting him through career highs and lows while building her own successful career as an influencer and model.
At the Venice premiere, the couple’s bond was clear for all to see. Photographers captured Georgina proudly flaunting her ring, while Ronaldo watched on with admiration.
With a reported net worth of more than $275 million (£203 million), Ronaldo is no stranger to extravagant gifts, but this one marks a new chapter for the couple who have long been considered football’s most glamorous partnership.
The engagement now cements their future together, after nearly a decade of shared life, love, and family milestones.
For fans, the sight of Georgina Rodriguez flashing her ring on the Venetian red carpet wasn’t just about diamonds — it was the clearest sign yet that football’s power couple is finally ready to walk down the aisle.
