Cristiano Ronaldo Proposes to Georgina Rodriguez Years After Rape Allegations and Media Speculation

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez: A Decade-Long Journey to Engagement

Cristiano Ronaldo, the legendary Portuguese footballer, finally proposed to his longtime partner Georgina Rodriguez with a dazzling diamond ring, ending years of speculation about their marital status. The couple, together since 2016, shared the news on Instagram, surprising fans who often assumed they were already married.

From Gucci to Global Fame
The pair first met in Madrid in 2016 at a Gucci store, where Rodriguez worked as a sales assistant while pursuing modeling. At the time, Ronaldo was a Real Madrid superstar and father to son Cristiano Jr. Their romance blossomed despite his whirlwind career, which soon took them to Juventus in 2018. During this period, they welcomed twins Eva and Mateo via surrogate and daughter Alana, Rodriguez’s first biological child.

Turmoil and Tragedy
In 2021, Ronaldo returned to Manchester United, but the move coincided with personal heartbreak. Rodriguez became pregnant with twins, but their son died during childbirth in April 2022, a loss they called “the greatest pain.” Their grief mirrored Ronaldo’s rocky reunion with United, culminating in a public feud with manager Erik Ten Hag and a swift exit to Saudi Arabia’s Al Nassr in 2023.

Legal Battles and Controversies
Amid their personal struggles, Ronaldo denied rape allegations from Kathryn Mayorga, who accused him of a 2009 assault in Las Vegas. After a lengthy legal battle, a U.S. court dismissed her appeal in 2023, upholding a confidentiality agreement and fining her lawyer for using leaked documents. Ronaldo maintained his innocence, calling the claims “an abominable crime.”

Life in Saudi Arabia
Now 39, Ronaldo thrives in Saudi Arabia, signing a £167 million-per-year contract with Al Nassr. Rodriguez has embraced celebrity through her Netflix docuseries, I Am Georgina, while raising their children. Despite rumors of a secret marriage and scrutiny over their meet-cute (a Spanish TV friend claimed they met at a nightclub), the couple remains united.
