However, despite being together for years, Ronaldo has not proposed to her yet and now he finally explained why he has not taken that step.
In an interview for her Netflix reality show I Am Georgina, Ronaldo revealed, “I always tell her, "when we get that click." Like everything with our life, and she knows what I'm talking about.”
The 40-year-old added, “It could be in a year or it could be in six months or it could be in a month. I'm 1000% sure that it'll happen.”
Earlier in the episode, Georgina shared that her close friends and family often joke with her about getting married to Ronaldo, as they have been together for nine years.
