Georgina Rodríguez, the fiancée of football superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, marked her 32nd birthday in spectacular fashion by unveiling a stunning £45,000 Rolex watch gifted by her partner. The former sales assistant took to Instagram on Tuesday to share the luxurious present, which quickly captivated her 72 million followers.
A Glittering Birthday Surprise
The Portuguese footballer made sure to honour "the woman of my life" with a heartfelt tribute as Georgina celebrated her milestone birthday. In a sweet social media post, Ronaldo shared a cosy photo from a dinner date, accompanied by the caption: "Happy birthday to the woman of my life!"
Details of the Lavish Timepiece
Georgina's new Rolex Lady-Datejust features a striking red ombre dial, a diamond-studded bezel, and an elegant gold strap. As she opened the iconic green box to reveal the watch, she also prominently displayed her remarkable £2.6 million 30-carat engagement ring, creating a dazzling visual spectacle for her audience.
This latest addition will join Georgina's already impressive watch collection, valued at approximately $2.4 million (around £1.7 million). Her existing collection includes:
- Five different Rolex watches
- Four distinct Cartier timepieces
- A prestigious Richard Mille watch
Family Celebrations and Personal Touches
The couple's children contributed to the birthday festivities by creating a sweet pink sign that read: "Happy Birthday Mama. Te Amo Mucho [I love you a lot]." Georgina and Ronaldo share daughters Alana and Bella together, and welcomed twins Eva Maria and Mateo through surrogacy. Tragically, Bella had a twin brother named Angel who passed away shortly after birth. Ronaldo also has an older son, Cristiano Jr., from a previous relationship.
On her Instagram profile, Georgina proudly describes herself as a mother of six, reflecting the blended family she has built with the football icon.
The Story of Their Romance
The couple first met in 2016 when Georgina, then working as a sales assistant at a Gucci store in Madrid, caught Ronaldo's attention. Their relationship has blossomed over eight years, culminating in their engagement announcement in August.
Interestingly, Georgina has previously expressed that she "didn't care" about her engagement ring, focusing instead on the emotional significance of the proposal. In a conversation with Piers Morgan last year, Ronaldo revealed: "One thing that I love, she didn't care about the ring. She asked me if I was honest and I said, 'I want you and I want to marry you.'"
The Proposal Moment
Ronaldo, who previously dated actress Irina Shayk, admitted to being emotionally overwhelmed during the proposal, saying: "I didn't cry, but I had tears in my eyes." The former Manchester United star embarked on an extensive search for the perfect engagement ring before proposing to his long-time partner.
He explained: "She asked me for a ring to offer her because it was one of her dreams to have a good stone. And I work hard, work hard and finally I find what she love."
Despite describing himself as "not a romantic guy" by nature, Ronaldo felt the timing was perfect when he proposed around 1 am while their daughters were sleeping. He recalled: "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.'"
Public Announcement and Documentary
Georgina confirmed their engagement by sharing a picture of her engagement ring on Instagram with her hand resting on top of Ronaldo's. She captioned the snap: "Yes I do. In this and all my lives." The social media influencer was also the subject of a 2022 Netflix documentary titled "I Am Georgina," which offered fans an intimate look into her life and relationship with the football superstar.
The birthday celebration serves as another chapter in their high-profile romance, blending family warmth with extraordinary luxury in a way that continues to fascinate their global audience.
