Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are engaged, but it’s the size of her multi-million-dollar diamond ring — revealed in an Instagram post — that has set social media abuzz.
Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have announced their engagement after eight years together. The soccer star and the model shared the news with a photo of Rodríguez’s engagement ring on Instagram.
The ring, estimated to be worth up to $5 million, quickly drew attention online for its size. While some praised the lavish display, others were critical.
“That rock is so huge it looks so tacky ew. I get that it costs a fortune, but going overboard just cheapens things sometimes,” one comment read. Another wrote, “It’s monstrous. It’s gargantuan. You could take it camping.”
Many questioned whether the piece was practical. “That ring is OUTRAGEOUS and would be so annoying to wear, lol,” someone posted. “I think it’s completely unwearable,” another said. Others compared it to “cheap costume jewelry” or called it “over the top.” Another person wrote, “Looks painful!!”
Some speculated about the timing of the engagement. “We love big diamonds but that is the ugliest ring I’ve ever seen,” one person wrote.
Another added, “He wouldn’t marry her all this time. Now he offers up a me massive diamond too big to be a pretty ring. Something is up here [sic].” One commenter summed up their opinion bluntly: “This is the worst ring I have ever seen.”
Ronaldo and Rodríguez met in 2016 at a Gucci store in Madrid, where she worked. At the time, Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid. They began dating the following year and made their relationship Instagram official in May 2017.
Their family grew quickly. In June 2017, they welcomed twins, Eva and Mateo, via surrogate. The couple announced they were expecting another child the next month, and Rodríguez gave birth to their daughter Alana that November.
In October 2021, they revealed they were expecting another set of twins. Rodríguez delivered a healthy baby girl, Bella, in April 2022. Her twin brother, Angel, died during birth.
Rodríguez has spoken openly about their relationship in her Netflix series “I Am Georgina,” describing Ronaldo as a very normal guy despite his fame.
The couple has not revealed the jeweler behind the engagement ring, but experts estimate its value between $2 million and $5 million. Ajay Anand, CEO of Rare Carat, suggested the center stone could be a flawless D-color diamond weighing over 30 carats, which could place its value at the top end of that range.
Laura Taylor, an engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, estimated the stone’s weight to be between 15 and 20 carats and said its oval cut maximizes sparkle, giving it a bright and lively appearance from every angle.
