Cristiano Ronaldo’s fiancée makes cheeky joke about ‘the least he could offer’ her

Cristiano Ronaldo, who has made more than 200 appearances for Portugal, became engaged to entrepreneur Georgina Rodriguez in the summer after nearly one decade of dating

Football legend Cristiano Ronaldo’s fiancée joked the “enormous” diamond engagement ring is “the least he could offer” her.

Georgina Rodriguez, 31, said, as she had waited such a long time for Cristiano to propose – eight years to be precise – the huge and lavish ring was justified. The model and entrepreneur, who met the footballer in a Gucci store in 2016, said: “It’s (the ring) gorgeous. It’s the least he could offer me after 10 years of waiting”.

Cristiano, 40, finally popped the question in the summer, after which Georgina showed off the piece of jewellery to her 67 million followers on social media. The couple racked up thousands of compliments and congratulations from their fans.

And speaking in an interview with Elle Spain published on Wednesday, Georgina added: “The truth is, when he proposed, it was the last thing on my mind. It took me a long time to process the enormous stone he gave me. I was so shocked that I left it in my room and didn’t open it in the sunlight until the next day.”

In the summer, jewellery experts had estimated the gigantic diamond weighed up to 37 carats and had an eye-popping, seven-figure price tag valued up to $5million (£3.74million). Georgina’s interview this week is the first time she has spoken publicly – other than on social media – about the dazzling ring.

But her spouse, with whom she has three children, spoke to Piers Morgan in November in a sit-down interview about the engagement ring. The footballer, who played more than 200 times for Manchester United across two spells, had said: “She (Georgina) 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.”

However, Cristiano, who remains a Portugal international at 40, has never indicated why it took him eight years to propose to Georgina, who is a media personality as well as an entrepreneur. Now, though, the couple are making swift plans to arrange their big day. Speaking out the ceremony, mum-of-three Georgina told Elle Spain it will be “a small wedding, 100%, without a doubt”.

Tara Reid, who portrayed Vicky Lathum in the American Pie films, was rushed to hospital after it was alleged she had her “drink tampered with” in a hotel in Chicago, Illnois

Tara Reid — who starred in the American Pie films — says she has been bullied by vile trolls online.

The 50-year-old actress was dashed to hospital after it was alleged she had her drink spiked at a hotel in Chicago, Illnois last month. However, police closed the investigation yesterday as it was deemed there was not enough evidence to support Tara’s claims.

Reacting to this, Tara said she has experienced a traumatic few weeks, particularly with her mental health. The actress, who played Kevin Myers ‘ girlfriend Vicky Lathum in the American Pie films, said: “It was a truly heartbreaking experience. All of the bullying I have been subjected to since and everyone twisting reality without the facts they weren’t even there to witness is truly affecting my mental health and I need it to stop”.

Paramedics took Tara on a stretcher out of the lobby and into an ambulance after she fell ill at the hotel, it is said. She believes her wine was tampered with at the establishment.

According to the Daily Mail, a police officer from the Rosemont police department told Tara: “Just wanted to again reiterate that you know we’ve looked into everything that we can at the hotel and everything that happened that night, spoke to everyone that we can looked at any and all video that we can, and at this point, I don’t want to make it sound like we don’t think anything happened.

” From everything that we’ve seen and everybody that we spoke to and all the video, there’s no evidence to support anything for us to charge somebody at this time. “

However, police in Chicago have told the actress if she had anything further to give them about the case they will follow up on it. She hopes speaking about her ordeal will help raise awareness of the dangers of spiking.

Tara, who was also in Scrubs, added:” I am making this statement to help people see the truth of what actually happened so they can understand the facts and how truly heartbreaking this is. To imagine how terrifying it would be as a woman having some wine and then waking up in the hospital with no clothes on in a gown after 12 hours not having any idea of what happened to me.

Meghan Markle torn apart by Lorraine Kelly amid Thomas Markle feud

ITV’s Lorraine Kelly made her feelings clear about Meghan Markle during her daytime show, as she discussed the Duchess of Sussex’s attempts to contact her ill father after his leg amputation surgery

Presenter Lorraine Kelly has taken a swipe at Meghan Markle, after the Duchess of Sussex claimed she’d tried reaching out to her sick father Thomas Markle following his hospital admission for an emergency procedure that led to his leg being amputated.

During a recent instalment of her daytime programme, the 66 year old mother discussed the situation with a correspondent reporting live from outside Buckingham Palace, who suggested the Duchess had only been in touch with her unwell father to dodge bad press.

Lorraine’s disapproval was clear as she pulled a face before commenting: “Yeah that’s very true. I mean the press have tracked him down, she could always give them a call. I don’t know if that will happen, though.”

The 44 year old wife of Prince Harry hasn’t spoken to her dad, who’s currently recuperating from surgery in a hospital in the Philippines, since 2018. Despite insisting she’d attempted to send him a message, she’s apparently wiped his phone number and hasn’t arranged any plans to see him.

According to The Sunday Times, the mother of two avoided ringing him directly at the hospital, worried that a phone conversation might be listened in on, reports the Express.

On Wednesday 10 December, Meghan’s representative confirmed she’d finally managed to make direct contact with her father. “Given that a Daily Mail reporter has remained at her father’s bedside throughout, broadcasting each interaction and breaching clear ethical boundaries, it has been exceedingly difficult for the Duchess to contact her father privately, despite her efforts over the past several days.

“With the support of reliable and trusted contacts, her correspondence is now safely in his hands,” the statement confirmed.

Thomas has been outspoken about his desire for reconciliation with his daughter in recent years. Speaking from his hospital bed to friend Caroline Graham, Mail on Sunday US Editor, he revealed: “Of course I want to speak to her (Meghan) but I am not sure if these are the right circumstances.

“I’ve always said I am open to reconciling with my daughter. I have never stopped loving her. I don’t want to die estranged from Meghan. I want to meet my grandkids. It might be nice to meet her husband too.”
