CRISTIANO RONALDO and Georgina Rodriguez are finally set to marry— nine years after getting together.
The couple announced their engagement this week with Georgina showing off her massive £3million diamond ring.
Ronaldo, 40, previously said he was “1000 per cent sure” he would marry Georgina, who is mum to two of his children.
They met while Georgina, 31, was working in a Gucci shop in Spain in 2016.
The Spaniard was working as a sales assistant and revealed it was “love at first sight” – for both her and Ronaldo.
She told Italy’s Elle magazine: “The first meeting with Ronaldo was at Gucci where I worked as a sales assistant.
“Days later we saw each other again at another brand’s event and it was then we could talk in a relaxed atmosphere, outside of my work environment. It was love at first sight for both.”
They have been together ever since and have two children together – Alana Martina, 7, and Bella, 3.
Georgina is also raising Ronaldo’s twins Eva and Mateo, 8, and 10-year-old son Cristiano Jr.
The pair are now set to tie the knot following Ronaldo’s proposal, with Georgina stating publicly: “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
Georgina sparked engagement speculation back in April by posting a picture of a different ring on her finger.
And although she had to wait, her love for Ronaldo remained unwavering.
She told The Sun: “Being the partner of someone so famous is not easy but I would not change it for the world.
“What I feel for him is stronger than anything, any kind of pressure.
“Together we are stronger and there is a mutual admiration.”
Ronaldo was always sure he would marry Georgina too, but he wanted to wait until the time was right.
He said: “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. I’m 1,000 per cent sure that it’ll happen.”
Ronaldo and Georgina’s family base is now in Riyadh, as he plays for Saudi side Al-Nassr.
Georgina posted her engagement update to Instagram from the Saudi capital.-Sun.
