Cristiano Ronaldo continues to capture attention as he reveals the most emotional moment of his career, offering a new perspective on the man behind the legend and the journey of the 40-year-old superstar beyond the pitch.

In August this year, Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez took social media by storm when they announced their engagement with a photo on Instagram, accompanied by Georgina’s caption: “Yes, I do. In this life and in the next.” She also showed off her massive diamond engagement ring.

Ajay Anand, CEO of the luxury jewelry brand Rare Carat, described Ronaldo’s ring for Georgina as featuring a large oval-cut diamond surrounded by smaller diamonds, estimating its value at around €5 million — or possibly even more.

In an emotional conversation with journalist Piers Morgan, Ronaldo shared:

“The proposal was actually quite funny because she had asked me for a ring — one of her dreams was to have a diamond ring. Eventually, I found the one she liked. I talked to one of my guys and told him, ‘Listen, keep it safe for me. I’m going to do it tonight after dinner, and I’ll propose.’ And that’s exactly what I did.”

He continued:

“It was around 1 a.m. My daughters, Alana and Eva, were already in bed asleep. When I took out the ring to give it to Gio, the girls suddenly came in and said, ‘Daddy, you’re going to give Mommy the ring and propose to her!’ That’s when I thought — this is the perfect moment.”

Ronaldo smiled as he recalled, “Gio couldn’t believe it when I proposed.” It was, he said, one of the most emotional moments of his life.

Since then, the couple’s wedding has become a hot topic among fans worldwide. It’s worth noting that the 40-year-old striker continues to perform at an elite level and is striving to reach an unprecedented milestone — 1,000 career goals. He has also set his sights on leading Portugal to the 2026 World Cup, which will be held across the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The tournament is expected to be his final major appearance for the national team.

The Portuguese superstar has finally revealed the timing of his long-awaited wedding:

“I plan to get married after the 2026 World Cup — once I’ve lifted the trophy,” declared the greatest goalscorer in football history.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez went public with their relationship in 2016. If all goes according to plan, their wedding will perfectly coincide with the 10th anniversary of their romance.

Further details about the grand event were shared by TV host Adriano Silva Martins on the Portuguese show V+ Fama:

“This will be the most expensive wedding of the century. The ceremony between Georgina and Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to take place in Madeira, Portugal, in August 2026. Guests confirmed to attend include David and Victoria Beckham, Rafael Nadal, and Neymar.”

Incredibly, the total cost of the wedding is estimated to reach €50 million. Ronaldo reportedly wants the celebration to be nothing short of perfect and unforgettable for every guest in attendance.
