Georgina Rodriguez Shines with $3m Engagement Ring at NYC Gala
GEORGINA RODRIGUEZ SHINES IN $3 MILLION DIAMOND ENGAGEMENT RING AS SHE GETS READY TO MARRY CRISTIANO RONALDO
In a stunning display of opulence, Georgina Rodriguez, the beautiful model and fiancée of Cristiano Ronaldo, made headlines at Thursday's Kering Caring for Women Dinner in New York. The 31-year-old Latina beauty flaunted her $3 million (£2.2m) diamond engagement ring, courtesy of her soon-to-be husband, as she attended the charity event alongside a slew of A-list stars.
The model, who has been dating Ronaldo since 2016 and is the mother of his two young daughters, Alana and Bella, looked absolutely stunning in a figure-hugging black dress that hugged every curve. Paired with an equally dazzling diamond necklace, Georgina was undoubtedly the center of attention at the exclusive event.
But what's even more fascinating is the story behind this jaw-dropping engagement ring. While fans were left guessing about the couple's secret engagement for weeks, it seems they finally confirmed their nuptials on August 11 via Instagram, with Georgina writing "Yes I do" in a post that sent shockwaves around the globe.
Now, as we dive deeper into the story, it becomes clear that Ronaldo and Georgina had been keeping their engagement under wraps for months. The couple's friends and family were speculating about their secret nuptials, with some even jokingly referring to Georgina as "Mrs. Ronaldo" at the couple's bridal-themed dinner.
But what sparked the rumors of their engagement? Well, it all started when Georgina posted pictures from a romantic dinner for two, complete with 'C heart G' pillows and stunning white flower arrangements. Fans quickly pieced together that this was more than just a regular date night – it was an engagement celebration!
Laura Taylor, engagement ring specialist at Lorel Diamonds, weighed in on the sparkling ring, saying: "Georgina Rodríguez's engagement ring from Cristiano Ronaldo is an extraordinary piece, featuring what appears to be an oval-cut diamond in the 15 to 20 carat range. This is a truly breathtaking diamond that reflects Georgina's status as one of the most eligible brides-to-be in the world."
But how did the couple keep their engagement under wraps for so long? Sources close to the couple revealed that Ronaldo had been waiting for "the click" – his own personal signal that he was ready to take the next step with Georgina. In a Netflix interview, Ronaldo confessed: "I always tell her, 'when we get that click'. Like everything with our life, and she knows what I'm talking about. It could be in a year or it could be in six months or it could be in a month."
It seems that the couple's fans were not far off when they speculated that Ronaldo would propose soon. After all, the Portuguese footballer has been dropping hints about his love for Georgina on social media for years.
In an interview with I Am Georgina, Georgina revealed how her friends have been teasing her about her marital status for years. She joked: "They're always joking about the wedding. 'When is the wedding?' Since Jennifer Lopez's song The Ring Or When came out, they started singing it to me. And well, this is not up to me."
But what's even more interesting is that Ronaldo has been referring to Georgina as his "wife" in public for years! In a game of Mr. and Mrs. on his YouTube channel last August, he affectionately called her his wife – just two months before the proposal.
It seems that the couple's friends and family were not surprised by the engagement at all. After all, they've been living together as a family unit with Ronaldo's three children from previous relationships, whom Georgina is now stepmother to.
As we count down the days until their wedding day, one thing is for sure – this will be the most talked-about wedding of the year!
