Brazilian legend Ronaldo is planning to marry for the third time at the age of 46.
This is after the former Real Madrid and Inter Milan legend proposed to his model girlfriend, Celina, 32, during a Caribbean getaway.
Replying via her social media handle, Celina flashed her ring to fans on her and wrote: ‘Yes I do’ in English before adding in Portuguese: ‘I love you forever @ronaldo.’
The retired footballer, now President of LaLiga side Valladolid, replied, ‘Love You’ with four heart emoticons.
The former footballer also wrote: ‘I’m happy for you. God bless and protect you always. Long live love.’
Aleady, Ronaldo’s ex-wife Milene Domingues has congratulated them.
Ronaldo had his first child, Ronald who is now a 22-year-old DJ, with Milene before their four-year marriage ended in September 2003.
He went on to organise a wedding ceremony with model Daniella Cicarelli in February 2005 at a castle in France, although it later transpired they did not officially become man and wife because neither had finalised their divorces from their previous partners.
The pair split just three months after the lavish castle ceremony they billed as an official wedding, with Daniella later claiming it ended because Ronaldo had been unfaithful to her.
After their relationship finished, the former football star wed engineering student Maria Beatriz Antony and the couple had two daughters – Maria Sofia, 14, and Maria Alice, 12 – during their seven-year relationship.
Ronaldo has been dating Brazilian Celina, who as well as a model is a successful businesswoman, for the past seven years.
He revealed he had a vasectomy after he was confirmed as the father of Alexander, now 16, in December 2010 following a fling with waitress Michele Umezu.
Ronaldo later revealed to the Financial Times that he had sperm frozen, joking he had enough still to make a football team.
