Brazil legend Ronaldo, 46, is getting hitched for the third time after popping the question to his model girlfriend while on vacation in the Caribbean.
With sweet “I love you” notes, the former Real Madrid and Inter Milan striker and gorgeous Celina Locks confirmed their engagement. On her social media pages, the 32-year-old showed off her engagement ring and wrote: “Yes I do” in English before adding: “I love you forever @ronaldo.”
With four heart-shaped emoticons, the retired footballer who is now the President of LaLiga team Valladolid answered, “Love You.”
Milene Domingues, the ex-wife of Ronaldo, was among the first to offer her congratulations to the happy pair, who are vacationing in the Dominican Republic.
I’m pleased for you, the former football player wrote. God keep you in his care and blessings. Love lives forever.
Before their four-year marriage ended in September 2003, Ronaldo and Milene gave birth to their son Ronald, who is currently a DJ and 22 years old. In February 2005, he planned a wedding ceremony for model Daniella Cicarelli at a castle in France, but it turned out that they were not legally wed because neither of them had finalized their divorces from their former relationships.
Three months after their extravagant wedding ceremony at a castle, the couple called it quits. Daniella later claimed that Ronaldo had cheated on her.
After their romance ended, the former football star married engineering student Maria Beatriz Antony. During their seven-year relationship, the pair had two kids, Maria Sofia, 14, and Maria Alice, 12.
For the past seven years, Ronaldo has been dating Brazilian Celina, a model and wealthy businesswoman. After learning he was Alexander’s father in December 2010 as a result of a liaison with waitress Michele Umezu, he admitted to having a vasectomy. Alexander is now 16 years old.
