Cristiano Ronaldo's fiancé Georgina Rodríguez sparks debate after making first public appearance since engagement
The Spanish-Argentinian model made a heavily-bejewelled appearance at the Venice International Film Festival last night
Georgina Rodríguez, the wife-to-be of football star Cristiano Ronaldo, has caused quite the stir online after once again flaunting her almighty engagement ring.
The long-term couple - who've been together for nine years - announced their upcoming nuptials last month on Instagram.
In a photograph which appeared to have been taken from bed one morning, Spanish-Argentinian model Rodríguez, 31, held up her perfectly manicured hand, with a whopper of a gem being visible on her fourth finger.
"Yes I do. In this and in all my lives," she captioned the jaw-dropping snap.

The sheer size of Rodríguez's engagement ring immediately set tongues wagging, with some fans claiming they've never seen such a huge diamond.
It also invited in debates from a number of jewellers regarding how much it would have set back the Manchester United forward, 40.
According to PrimeTimer, the ring appears to be oval-cut, and between an estimated 20 to 30 carats.
Ajay Anand, Rare Carat's CEO, told Page Six that the ring could have cost up to $5 million, whilst Elle Australia reported that the gem could be worth double.
Either way, mother-of-three Rodríguez seemingly has no plans to stay humble about her brand new prized possession.
And in red carpet photos from last night's Venice International Film Festival, she could be seen posing with her diamond-embellished left hand raised to her face, flaunting the colossal rock.
As we say, however, Rodríguez's latest public appearance has sparked a debate online with regard to wealth disparity, with a number saying it's bad taste to shove money in the faces of others.
One asked on Instagram: "Stunning!!! but …. Also can’t there be more done with this money … I don’t know, solve some other humanitarian problems?"
"I love those two but really my love have some decorum … people are struggling in life and that ring is worth enough to end their worries … it’s wonderful you don’t have them," another wrote.
"Absolutely ridiculous," a third continued.
Others, however, defending the mum claiming she's well within her right to show off her latest gem.
"Stunning!! Deserves to be seen," one gushed.
Another added: "She is glowing. Love this for her."
The model paired her ring with a custom Roberto Cavalli black and white lace gown - which featured an oversize pattern and thin straps - as well as diamond-encrusted jewellery, including a hefty necklace.
