Cristiano Ronaldo wasn’t prepared to propose to Georgina Rodriguez

It was in mid-August 2025 when Cristiano proposed to his ladylove, Georgina Rodriguez, with a huge diamond. But the proposal was quite funny as he wasn’t prepared for it. During an interview with British journalist Piers Morgan, Ronaldo revealed that his daughters prompted him to propose to Georgina. Recalling the same, he shared:

“It was like 1 am. My daughters were in bed sleeping. One of my friends gave me the ring to offer Gio (Georgina), and as I was giving her the ring, my two kids came in and said, 'Daddy, you're going to give the ring to mum and you're going to ask her to get married'. I said, 'Wow, this is the right moment to say yes.' It was the time.”

In the same conversation, Ronaldo also stated that he didn’t plan the proposal, but it happened naturally. Not just this, the handsome called himself a ‘non-romantic’ and said:

“I didn't (get on one knee) because I wasn't prepared but it was a beautiful moment. I made a speech. It was simple, I'm not a romantic guy. Well, I am, but I'm not very romantic, not the kind of guy who brings flowers every week to the home. But I'm romantic in my way. It was beautiful and I knew that it is the woman of my life so I did that and I hope that I did it well."
