It was in 2016 that Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodriguez began their relationship. Nearly ten years later, the couple started a family and are closer than ever. However, the footballer waited a long time before proposing to his sweetheart. He did so on August 11. Three months later, he told how he did it.
Cristiano Ronaldo spoke to Piers Morgan. In a long interview posted online this Tuesday, the five-time Ballon d’Or spoke about multiple subjects, notably his rivalry with Lionel Messi, but also his private life. It was almost logical that he ended up being questioned about this famous marriage proposal. The Portuguese international was also quick to provide multiple details.
“I always say that good things come at the right time. (…) I asked him because I thought it was the right time. Not just because she is the mother of my children, but because she is the person I love the most. He’s the love of my life. » Everything happened during an evening during which CR7 offered Georgina Rodriguez a precious stone that she dreamed of. But initially, Cristiano Ronaldo had not at all planned to make this request at this time.
CR7, an unexpected marriage proposal
“It was fun. I knew that one day I was going to ask him, but I didn’t know how. (…) She asked me for a ring which was a dream for her. She wanted a beautiful stone. I worked and worked hard, and finally I found it. I said to my friend: ‘Keep it and after dinner I’ll give it to him.’ And that’s what happened. But afterwards, I was left alone with her, one of my friends was there and started filming even though he had never done it before. I’ve known him for over ten years and he never does that. »
And everything came to a head. “It was one in the morning. And when my friend passed me the ring to give it to Gio, I was giving it to him when my two daughters, Alana and Eva, arrived and said: ‘Dad, are you giving the ring to mom to ask her to marry you?’ And then I thought: ‘Wow, this is a good time to say yes.’ And I said yes, this is the right time. »
