Georgina Rodriguez reflects on the timing of Christiano Ronaldo’s proposal

Georgina Rodriguez is sharing her two cents about her boyfriend Cristiano Ronaldo when he proposed.

Her direct reaction so far, is “the least he can pay” after almost 10 years together.

“It’s beautiful,” Rodriguez gushed about her engagement ring Elle Spain Wednesday. “It’s the least he can give me after 10 years of waiting,” the influencer then added.

Rodriguez recalled being surprised by the large diamond, but admitted that it didn’t even open to sunlight until the next day.

“The truth is, when he proposed, it was the last thing on my mind. It took me a long time to process the big stone he gave me. I was so shocked that I left my room and didn’t open it to sunlight until the next day,” she told the newspaper.

Rodriguez also hinted that their upcoming wedding will be very close. “It will be a small wedding, 100%, no doubt.”

Ronaldo, 40, and Rodriguez, 31, went public with their relationship in August, more than eight years after their first public appearance at the 2017 FIFA Best Footballer Awards.

The ring is estimated to weigh up to 37 carats and is valued at up to 5 million dollars.

During an interview in November with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo explained that he chose the ring because it was Rodriguez’s dream to have a nice stone.

He also said that their daughters encouraged him to pop the question.

The couple share five children, including twins Eva Maria and Mateo, 8; Alana, 8; Bella, 3; and Ronaldo’s 15-year-old son, Cristiano Jr. They also experienced the loss of Bella’s twin, Ángel, in 2022.
