Brazilian legend Ronaldo has got engaged to his model girlfriend Celina Locks
The retired footballer, now President of LaLiga side Valladolid, replied 'Love You' with four heart emoticons.
One of the first people to congratulate the happy couple, who are holidaying in the Dominican Republic, was Ronaldo's ex-wife Milene Domingues.
The former footballer wrote: 'I'm happy for you. God bless and protect you always. Long live love.'
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.
In March last year Celina duped the world into believing she was pregnant with her future husband's fifth child.
She posted a selfie photo showing her dressed in pink with her hand on her stomach and wrote: 'A new phase of my life is beginning and with it a great responsibility.'
She subsequently revealed her new 'baby' was actually a perfume she was launching as part of a beauty products range.
Ronaldo and Celina have yet to announce where and when they will marry.
