“I want to be more of a family person, more present.”
Ronaldo, 40, and Georgina Rodríguez, his girlfriend since 2017, announced their engagement in August. In an Instagram post, Rodriguez showed off her massive new oval-shaped engagement ring with a touching caption in Spanish.
The soccer star praised his fiancée in his interview with Morgan.
“Gio is unique. She takes care of me, which is very important. She takes care of the family, the house, which requires a lot of work. If you want to be the opposite, I won’t take care of that; men can’t deal with that, honestly,” he said.
“She is the person who understands me and takes care of me and my family. This is what I am looking for.”
