Cristiano Ronaldo Reportedly Spent Up to $13 Million on Georgina Rodríguez’s Engagement Ring
Cristiano Ronaldo doesn’t just play big on the soccer field — he plays big in love, too. The Portuguese superstar has reportedly proposed to longtime partner Georgina Rodríguez with an engagement ring so extravagant, it could sit in a museum alongside some of the most famous jewels in history.
According to jewelry experts, the piece is worth between $10.9 million and $13 million, putting it in the same league as Elizabeth Taylor’s legendary diamond from Richard Burton.
A ring fit for a queen — or a Hollywood icon
Rodríguez, the Argentine-Spanish model who has been by Ronaldo’s side for nearly a decade, shared a photo on social media that all but broke the internet. In it, the couple’s hands are intertwined, but it’s the ring — not the romance — that steals the scene.
The oval-shaped diamond is so massive it nearly spans the full length of her ring finger’s first joint. Set in a silver-toned band (likely white gold) and surrounded by smaller diamonds for extra brilliance, the gem is nothing short of show-stopping.
While the exact jeweler hasn’t been confirmed, many believe it could be from Cartier — a brand Rodríguez has worn on multiple occasions. If true, experts say its minimum value would still come in at around $5.4 million. Some believe it may be a version of the classic Cartier 1895 design, featuring a central stone of at least 40 carats.
A romance eight years in the making
Ronaldo and Rodríguez first crossed paths in late 2016, going public with their relationship in January 2017. Since then, they’ve built a blended family that includes Cristiano Jr., twins Eva and Mateo, and their two daughters, Alana and Bella. Tragically, Bella’s twin brother, Ángel, passed away at birth in 2022.
This engagement marks the next chapter in one of sports and entertainment’s most high-profile love stories — a relationship that’s unfolded in front of millions of fans around the globe.
As jewelry appraiser, Iñaki Torres told Spanish media, “This is a one-of-a-kind piece, the kind of ring you don’t just buy — you commission. It’s a symbol of love, but also of legacy.”
When it comes to Cristiano Ronaldo, legacy is something he knows a thing or two about.
