Cristiano Ronaldo has proposed to his long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez, ending years of speculation about their marital plans.
Georgina, 31, confirmed the engagement on Instagram, sharing a photo of her diamond ring placed over Ronaldo’s hand.
She captioned the image: “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
The couple, together for nine years, had faced constant questions over when they would marry.
In April, Georgina fuelled speculation by posting a picture wearing a different ring.
Last December, Ronaldo raised eyebrows at the Globe Soccer Awards in Dubai by referring to her as his “wife.”
Speaking previously about the delay, the 40-year-old Portuguese star explained: “I always tell her, ‘when we get that click.’ Like everything in our life, and she knows what I’m talking about.
“It could be in a year, in six months, or in a month. I’m 1,000 per cent sure it’ll happen.”
The engagement marks a new chapter for the couple, who share two children together and co-parent Ronaldo’s three other children.
