NEW YORK — In an Instagram post on Aug 11, Georgina Rodriguez, the long-time girlfriend of Portuguese soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, uploaded a photo of a gigantic rock on her ring finger.
Beneath her hand was another person's hand — presumably Ronaldo's, as he was tagged in the photo.
"Yes, I do. In this and in all my lives," the model captioned the photo in her native Spanish.
Immediately, the oval-cut ring had people talking. Some people compared the diamond ring with a Ring Pop, the lollipop candy, and others joked it was probably so expensive that it could save world hunger.
