Following his absence against Sweden in the recent international friendly, Cristiano Ronaldo is expected to feature against Slovenia. The Portuguese icon was spotted boarding the team flight to Slovenia. Strikingly, fans have taken notice of a Jacob & Co timepiece worth $100,000 on the Portuguese icon’s right arm. Interestingly, this was CR7’s gift to his girlfriend, Georgina Rodriguez, on her 30th birthday.
Notably, Georgina Rodriguez welcomed her thirties in style with a trip to the Maldives. Through her Instagram, she acknowledged her loved ones for the gifts. Among the presents, the highlight was a diamond-encrusted watch with pink straps, which Georgina captioned, ‘Gracias mi amor‘, (Thank you, my love), and she tagged CR7 as well. Noticeably, the 5-time Ballon d’Or winner could not accompany his influencer partner due to soccer commitments. Seeing the same timepiece on Cristiano Ronaldo’s wrist, fans on social media praised the pair for the bond and love between them.

A Manchester United supporter who commented shared the positivity, “So this is love.” It seems Cristiano Ronaldo’s turbulent second spell at Old Trafford hasn’t reduced this fan’s admiration for the soccer icon.
Notably, another supporter reacted slightly less positively as he wrote, “Why he wear that watch.” Perhaps the aesthetics put him off?
