The photo of her bedazzled hand was not shared from Paris, Bora Bora or Dubai, but from Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.The capital of the conservative Islamic kingdom is not generally known as a place where globe-trotting couples flock to celebrate their romances. A decade ago, the religious police roamed the city streets hunting for unmarried couples and shouting at women to cover their hair. Sex outside of marriage was, until recently, punishable by flogging.ImageRiyadh, the Saudi capital.Credit...Stephen Hiltner\/The New York TimesEven as fans celebrated the new engagement, the announcement highlighted the fact that the couple were not married and had been living with their children in the Saudi city for two years.Riyadh is where one chapter of Ronaldo\u2019s unmarried bliss has played out, after he moved here in 2022 under a hefty contract to play for the Saudi soccer team Al Nassr. He was joined in the city by Ms. Rodr\u00edguez and their children.Their family appeared to have settled into a comfortable and glamorous life in the kingdom, testing the boundaries of rapid social change in Saudi Arabia.Since he began his rise to power in 2015, Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman, the kingdom\u2019s de facto ruler, has overseen a flurry of policy shifts that have rendered the once-ultraconservative country nearly unrecognizable \u2014 loosening social restrictions while increasing political repression.Years ago, simply riding in a car with an unrelated male driver could prompt questions for women at police checkpoints \u2014 a paradoxical conundrum in the kingdom: Women were not allowed to drive until 2018.ImageA woman driving in Riyadh in 2023.

Unmarried pregnancy? There is no written penal code, and various judges interpret Islamic law \u2014 the kingdom\u2019s prevailing legal doctrine \u2014 differently. That strategic opacity gives the Saudi government wiggle room to maneuver as societal changes unfold \u2014 occasionally spurring public backlash and seemingly random arrests.Women sometimes take to the streets in shorts and crop tops now, despite public taste regulations that theoretically ban such attire. Alcohol is illegal, but a black market thrives, and, occasionally, visibly inebriated young men can be spotted brawling outside one of the city\u2019s \u201cdry\u201d night clubs.The Saudi government\u2019s Center for International Communication did not respond to a request for comment on whether sex and cohabitation out of wedlock were permissible now, or whether a special exception was granted to Ronaldo, who is 40 and a native of Portugal.Publicists for Ms. Rodr\u00edguez and Ronaldo did not respond to questions about their engagement, including whether Saudi Arabia\u2019s social norms played any role in their decision to tie the knot.Ronaldo\u2019s relocation was a major coup for the Saudi government\u2019s efforts to expand its sports sector and reshape the kingdom\u2019s image \u2014 bringing one of the world\u2019s most famous athletes into its fold. The most-followed person on Instagram, he has shared images of life and soccer in Saudi Arabia, showing a different side of the country.Ms. Rodr\u00edguez, 31, a model and social media influencer who has a Netflix show, has played a key role in that display, attending red carpet events, sunbathing in a bikini outside their sleek villa and visiting five-star resorts with their children.ImageMs. Rodr\u00edguez at the Red Sea Film Festival in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia, last year.

But on her Netflix show, he has reassured fans that they would get married \u2014 one day.\u201cI always tell her: \u2018When we get that click,\u2019\u201d he said.It was not clear when, or where, the engagement happened. Ms. Rodr\u00edguez\u2019s Instagram post on Monday was captioned only: \u201cYes, I do. In this and all of my lives.\u201dIn the comments beneath, her Arab followers traded jokes, with one person commenting that it was \u201ca really fast engagement!\u201d Arabic memes marking the occasion with humor spread swiftly across the internet, with one common riff saying that he had to work in Saudi Arabia for two years to afford marriage. \u201cIt was just the period of \u2018getting to know each other,\u2019\u201d another meme read, accompanied by a photo of the couple with their children \u2014 referring sarcastically to the brief, family-sanctioned dating phase that some Saudi and Arab couples pass through before officially getting married. In June, Ronaldo extended his contract in Saudi Arabia for two more years.\u201cMy family always supports me in my decisions,\u201d he said in a video published by the club. \u201cThe Saudi people treat us very, very good. That\u2019s why we want to live there and continue to do our life there.\u201dVivian Nereim is the lead reporter for The Times covering the countries of the Arabian Peninsula.
