Ronaldo and Rodríguez confirm engagement

Cristiano Ronaldo is engaged to his long-term partner, Georgina Rodríguez.

Rodríguez announced the news on social media, sharing a photograph of a large engagement ring with the caption, in Spanish: “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.” No further details have been released. Ronaldo, the most-followed individual on Instagram, has yet to make a public statement.


A relationship spanning almost a decade

The couple have been together for nine years, having first met at a Gucci store in Madrid where Rodríguez was working. At the time, Ronaldo was playing for Spanish club Real Madrid.

The Portugal and Al-Nassr forward has five children in total. He and Rodríguez share two, including their youngest daughter, Bella, born in April 2022 alongside a stillborn twin son. Rodríguez has also played a key role in raising Ronaldo’s other three children.

Past speculation and celebrity reactions

Rodríguez, 31, who fronted her own Netflix reality series I Am Georgina, has previously spoken about rumours surrounding a potential wedding. On the programme, she said friends often teased her, referencing Jennifer Lopez’s song The Ring Or When. “Well, this is not up to me,” she remarked.

The engagement post has been met with congratulations from high-profile figures. Kim Kardashian liked the announcement, while broadcaster Piers Morgan wished the couple “as much success in their marriage as he’s had on the football pitch”. Celebrity make-up artist Charlotte Tilbury called it “fabulous news”, and Lauren Sánchez-Bezos, who married Amazon founder Jeff Bezos in June, said she was “so happy” for them.

Jaivant Patel brings queer south Asian existence to the stage with 'ASTITVA'

Highlights:

  • Pushes back against old stereotypes, choosing to focus on joy and celebration instead of struggle.
  • It insists the community deserves stages for celebration, not just for sharing pain.
  • It walks through four raw, human chapters: Seeking, Desire, Acceptance, and Love.
  • Its core mission is putting brown, queer male bodies on stage in a way that is still rarely seen.

In an exclusive chat with Eastern Eye, choreographer Jaivant Patel spoke about ASTITVA, a new dance work that reimagines what it means to be queer and south Asian through movement, rhythm, and emotion.

ASTITVA translates to “existence,” an apt title for a piece born from the need to simply be seen and heard. It reflects Patel’s journey and the lived realities of queer south Asian people today.
