‘This Is The Right Moment’: Cristiano Ronaldo Shares The Story Behind His Engagement. He Says The Decision With Georgina Rodriguez Happened Naturally

Cristiano Ronaldo recounted the entire story that led to an unexpected engagement to his longtime partner, Georgina Rodriguez. Ronaldo has been in a relationship with Rodriguez since 2016, after the couple met when the latter was working in a Gucci store.

The Al-Nassr player recently sat down for another chat with the famous UK broadcaster, Piers Morgan. Ronaldo and Morgan have seemingly bonded with each other, with the five-time Ballon d’Or winner opening up about many topics to him. He recently spoke to him about the time it finally clicked that he should propose to Rodriguez.

Ronaldo revealed that his daughters came to him to ask him if he was going to propose to their mother before he headed out on a dinner date with her. After this question from his kids, he felt that it was the right moment to pop the question. He added that Rodriguez couldn’t believe him when it happened and that he knew the time was going to come one day.

“My friend gave me the ring to offer it to Geo, and my two girls are coming, and they say ‘Daddy, you are going to give the ring to mum and you’re gonna ask her to be married.’ And I said ‘Wow, this is the right moment to say yes’. Geo didn’t believe me. I knew that I will do it one day, but moment [when] my daughters [were] coming, I said yes, now is the time. This is what I want and because my daughters said and my friends were filming me.”

Ronaldo Found The Perfect Ring For His Fiancée

Cristiano Ronaldo had been conquering the competition in Europe when he started dating Georgina Rodriguez in 2016. Fast forward to this moment, the couple now has three kids together and three more kids who were born via surrogate. They are also now happily engaged.

Ronaldo spoke to Morgan about finding a nice ring for his partner that she would like. Ultimately, he managed to find one after spending some time looking for it. The Al-Nassr captain then told his friend to keep it and that he was going to give it as a gift. However, his friends and daughters advised him to turn it into an engagement ring and finally propose to her.

“She asked me for a ring because it was one of her dreams to have, like a good stone. I work, worked hard, and I finally find what she likes, and I told my guy, ‘Listen, keep it, we’re going to do it at dinner tonight,’ and I’m going to offer it to her. That’s what we did [plan]. But after I stay with her alone, one of my friends takes his phone and is filming. They have never done, not even to ask me for a photo. It was like 1 am, my daughters were in bed, sleeping.”

Ronaldo added that he did not go down on one knee during the proposal. He stated that he forgot about it since he wasn’t fully prepared, but it was still a magical moment.
