Georgina Rodriguez and Cristiano Ronaldo broke the internet earlier this month when they announced their engagement after dating since 2016. After years of rumors that they secretly got married, it all got put to bed when she showed off the GIANT diamond ring, speculated to be valued at no less than $6.5M, with some guessing it could be up to $15M depending on the stones.
The ring, estimated to be between 30 and 45 carats, depending on the jeweler you ask, is one of the most luxurious celebrity engagement rings, and she will probably have to take it off for safety in some instances. But she has another option. On Wednesday, she shared a gallery of photos dripping in diamonds, and the engagement ring was nowhere to be seen.

The emerald-cut diamond, thought to be 20 carats, had fans going wild thinking he had finally proposed, but it turned out to be like a very expensive promise ring.
As for why she ditched the engagement ring, the shoot was probably taken before the proposal.
The engagement heard around the world
Rodriguez announced the engagement on social media with a photo of the huge ring, which received some criticism online. “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives,’ she wrote in Spanish.
“Love is the raw material for any dream,” she wrote in a follow-up post on her IG story. The couple has not revealed how the soccer star proposed.

Rodriguez waited patiently, telling HOLA! In 2019, “Every couple wants to get married, and I would love to personally.” “Right now we have priorities and a lot of responsibilities, although in the future it would be marvellous to become Cristiano’s wife.”
Then, on her 2022 show, I am Georgina, she told the camera it wasn’t up to her. “They’re always joking about the wedding. ‘When is the wedding?’ Since Jennifer Lopez’s song “The Ring” came out, they started singing it to me. And well, this is not up to me,” she said.
Ronaldo spoke about it on the show too, saying, “I always tell her, ‘When we get that click.’ It could be in a year, or it could be in six months, or it could be in a month. I’m 1,000% sure that it’ll happen.”
© @georginagioThe next move is obviously the wedding. Hopefully, it doesn’t take as long as the engagement did. Now a happy family, they will have plenty of support. Rodriguez and Ronaldo are loving and committed parents, and whenever they do say “I do,” there’s no doubt Cristiano Jr., Eva, Mateo, Alana, Martina, and Bella Esmeralda will have a special role.
