Former Manchester United attacker Cristiano Ronaldo announced his engagement to Georgina Rodriguez earlier this year.

The news was announced on the social media page of Rodriguez, who said “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives”  on her Instagram post.

Together for nine years, the pair are said to have met each other at the Gucci shop that she worked at whilst Ronaldo was playing for Real Madrid.

The Daily Mail have reported that Ronaldo and Rodriguez will tie the knot in Madeira next summer.

Expected to be one of the showbiz events of the show, it will be a Christian ceremony in Ronaldo’s home town and also 1.5 miles from the hospital he was born in.

The wedding will take place following the 2026 FIFA World Cup, where Ronaldo will hope he will get married as a world champion.

Since proposing, Ronaldo has spoken on how he proposed to Rodriguez during his recent interview with Piers Morgan.

”It was like 1am. My daughters were in bed sleeping.

“One of my friends gave me the ring to offer Gio and as I was giving her the ring, my two kids come in and say 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. I knew that I was going to do it one day but I hadn’t planned to do it then.

“Because my daughters said that and my friends were filming, it was what I wanted and I offered (the ring). 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 very 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’s the woman of my life so I did that and I hope that I did it well.”
