Soccer great Cristiano Ronaldo and his long-term partner Georgina Rodriguez are engaged. The 31-year-old Rodriguez announced the happy news on Instagram on Monday with a photograph showing a huge ring on her finger, reports the AP. "Yes, I do," read the caption in Spanish. "In this and in all my lives." People notes that the ring is estimated to have set the footballer back about $5 million, with one jeweler pegging the ring at 37 carats.

Rodríguez and the 40-year-old Ronaldo have two daughters together. She has also helped to raise Ronaldo's other three children. The couple lost one of their newborn twins, a boy, in 2022. Ronaldo met Rodriguez in 2016 when she worked at a Gucci store in Madrid. The former Real Madrid and Manchester United star now plays for Al-Nassr in Saudi Arabia.
