Cristiano Ronaldo has proposed to his long-time partner Georgina Rodriguez, marking a significant milestone in their relationship. The football star presented her with an impressive oval-shaped diamond ring. Sharing the news on Instagram, Georgina wrote in Spanish, “Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives,” along with a photo showcasing the sparkling ring. The diamond is estimated to weigh between 25–30 carats and is valued at roughly USD 2–5 million, making it one of the more extravagant celebrity engagement rings in recent years.
While Ronaldo’s ring is stunning, it is modest compared to some of the most famous celebrity engagement rings. In 1956, Grace Kelly received a 10.47-carat emerald-cut Cartier diamond from Prince Rainier III, valued at USD 4.06 million at the time and now estimated at USD 38.8 million. Mariah Carey was proposed to by James Packer in 2016 with a 35-carat emerald-cut diamond valued at USD 10 million. Anna Kournikova received two rings from Enrique Iglesias: an 11-carat pear-cut pink diamond worth USD 2.5 million and a radiant-cut yellow diamond valued at USD 5.4 million, now estimated at USD 9 million.
Elizabeth Taylor’s famous 33.19-carat Krupp Diamond came from Richard Burton in 1968, purchased for USD 305,000 and later sold for USD 8.8 million. Kanye West proposed to Kim Kardashian with a 20-carat emerald-cut diamond valued at USD 8 million, while Jay-Z gifted Beyonce a 24-carat emerald-cut diamond worth USD 5 million, now valued around USD 7.5 million. Paris Hilton received a 24-carat canary yellow diamond from Paris Latsis, initially valued at USD 4.7 million and now worth over USD 7 million. Jennifer Lopez has an 8.5-carat green diamond from Ben Affleck valued at USD 5 million, in addition to a USD 5 million emerald-cut diamond from Alex Rodriguez.
Ronaldo and Rodriguez’s engagement places them among some of the most high-profile celebrity couples, with a ring that reflects both opulence and personal significance.
