Georgina Rodríguez has surprised fans by revealing her engagement to Cristiano Ronaldo, confirmed with a jaw-dropping ring that’s stealing the spotlight. The unexpected announcement felt like the right next step for the couple, who have been together since 2016 and share a blended family of five children, three from Cristiano’s previous relationships and two daughters together.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez are finally engaged after a nine year relationship.

Jewelry appraisers have shared their thoughts on the stunning piece. A gemologist consulted by ¡HOLA! revealed that the central diamond alone would cost no less than five million euros (USD 5.45 million), and depending on its clarity and quality, it could easily reach “10 or even 12 million euros (USD 10.9 million),” without taking into account the value of the side stones.

But jeweler Iñaki Torres offers an even more dramatic evaluation. After reviewing other pieces in Georgina’s collection, he estimates that the engagement ring’s center stone weighs somewhere between 40 and 45 carats, with a price tag starting at six million euros, and possibly soaring up to 20 or 25 million (USD 21.8 or 27.25).

“It’s a jewel like the ones Liz Taylor wore,” Torres notes. That’s no exaggeration—Elizabeth Taylor’s engagement ring has long held the title of most expensive in history. Until now.

When it comes to celebrity engagement rings, Georgina’s could now be leading the pack. Taylor’s famed 33-carat ring, valued at 8.8 million euros, had previously topped the list. Grace Kelly’s four-million-euro ring followed close behind, while Victoria Beckham’s legendary collection, accumulated over 26 years of marriage to David Beckham, is estimated to be worth around 30 million euros in total.

And yet, between her lavish “everyday” diamond ring and this show-stopping new piece, Georgina may have already surpassed that sum. With this bold and glittering symbol of their love, Cristiano and Georgina have once again cemented their place not just as a power couple, but as icons of luxury.
