On August 11, 2025, Georgina Rodríguez took to Instagram to share life-changing news. Cristiano Ronaldo had proposed. Her caption, “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives,” was paired with a dazzling close-up of her left hand, now crowned with an enormous oval-cut diamond engagement ring. In minutes, the internet was flooded with reactions, debates, and, naturally, a little drama.
Jewelry experts say the ring’s center diamond is between 30 and 40 carats, flanked by smaller stones for a total of roughly 37 carats. Depending on quality, estimates place the ring’s value between $2 million and $5 million. It’s not just a ring, it’s a statement piece, the kind that commands attention both on and off the red carpet.
Almost as soon as Georgina’s post went live, opinions rolled in. Some were in awe, others… less impressed:
- “It’s a doorknob and it’s hideous.”
- “Where’s the photo of how high it sits?”
- “Just tacky.”
Social media was full of videos dissecting the ring’s size, with some claiming it was “too big” or “impractical.”
Here is why I think people missed the point with their criticism
This is Georgina Rodríguez we’re talking about. A woman who has graced red carpets in diamonds and gemstones from the world’s finest jewelers. A woman who once worked for a respected fashion house and built her brand in the luxury space. Were people expecting Cristiano Ronaldo to propose with anything less than what she’s used to?
This ring isn’t just a reflection of their relationship. it’s a reflection of her lifestyle, her fashion persona, and the world she moves in. For Georgina, mega-bling is the norm.
Critics can debate carats and clarity all they want, but this proposal marks another chapter in a love story nearly a decade long. Ronaldo and Georgina have been together for over eight years, share five children, and have weathered life’s ups and downs together.
At the end of the day, the only people who need to love the ring are the ones living the story it represents. And by all appearances, they do.
Congratulations to Cristiano and Georgina.
