Overview
- In a new interview with Piers Morgan, Ronaldo says the proposal was unplanned at around 1 a.m., prompted by his daughters, filmed by friends, and he did not go down on one knee.
- He says he made a short speech and that Georgina cared more about his honesty and commitment than the value of the ring.
- The couple first announced their engagement on August 11 via Georgina’s Instagram post showing the ring and the caption, “Yes I do. In this and in all my lives.”
- Reported valuations for the oval-cut diamond range from about £1.5 million (over $2 million) to roughly $5 million, with estimates from specialists Laura Taylor, Ajay Anand and Tobias Kormind hinging on carat weight and whether the stone is natural.
- Ronaldo says they plan to marry after the World Cup, noting Georgina prefers a private celebration rather than a large party.
