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.

How Southeast Asian storytelling became one of Netflix’s fastest-growing global pillars

Highlights:

  • Netflix says global viewing of Southeast Asian titles rose almost 50% between 2023 and 2024.
  • Premium VOD revenue in the region reached £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore) last year, with 53.6 million subscriptions.
  • Netflix holds more than half of the region’s total viewing and remains its biggest investor in originals.
  • New rivals, including Max, Viu and Vidio, are forcing sharper competition.
  • Local jobs, training and tourism are increasing as productions expand across the region.

Last year, something shifted in what the world watched. Global viewership of Southeast Asian content on Netflix grew by nearly 50%, and this isn't just a corporate milestone; it’s a signal. Stories from Jakarta, Bangkok, and Manila are no longer regional curiosities. They are now part of the global mainstream.

The numbers tell a clear story. Over 100 Southeast Asian titles have now entered Netflix’s Global Top 10 lists. More than 40 of those broke through in 2024 alone. This surge is part of a bigger boom in the region’s own backyard. The total premium video-on-demand market in Southeast Asia saw viewership hit 440 billion minutes in 2024, with revenues up 14% to £1.44 billion (₹15,300 crore). Netflix commands over half of that viewership and 42% of the revenue. They have a clear lead, but the entire market is rising.
