Cristiano Ronaldo has finally asked the question fans have been waiting for. After eight years of dating, the football superstar is officially engaged to his long-time girlfriend, Georgina Rodríguez.

“Yes, I do,” Georgina wrote on Instagram on August 11, sharing the news with millions of followers. The 31-year-old showed off her breathtaking diamond ring, placing her left hand over Ronaldo’s and putting the massive stone on full display.

A Family Already Built. While the couple is now taking steps toward marriage, Ronaldo and Georgina have already built a family together. Their household includes twins Eva Maria and Mateo (8), daughter Alana (7), and youngest daughter Bella (3).

This proposal comes after years of public speculation. In her Netflix show I Am Georgina, Ronaldo was asked why he hadn’t married her yet. His response caused a stir:

“I haven’t yet felt the spark,” Ronaldo admitted, adding that he was certain he would marry her one day and was sure she was the one.

That comment left fans puzzled and some critical about his hesitation despite their long relationship.

Now Officially Engaged… But When’s the Wedding?

With the engagement finally confirmed, the next question on everyone’s mind is when will they actually tie the knot? Some fans are wondering if Ronaldo’s hesitation was due to a fear of marriage, while others believe he’s now finally “seen the spark” he once spoke of.

For now, Ronaldo and Georgina seem focused on celebrating their milestone. Whether the wedding comes sooner rather than later is something only time will tell but after eight years, fans are hoping it won’t take much longer.
