CRISTIANO RONALDO and Georgina Rodriguez check out a church which features in The Italian Job in search of a wedding venue.
Pictures show the Juventus superstar, 33, with his arm around Georgina, 24, whose sparkling ring is clearly visible on her finger.
The couple - who reportedly got engaged last week - visited the Church of Gran Madre di Dio (Great Mother of God), a grand 19th century building which appears in the 1969 film The Italian Job and has links to the Holy Grail.
Ronaldo, wearing tracksuit bottoms and a zipped up hoodie, and Georgina, carrying a red handbag while dressed in jeans and a denim jacket, are then seen being escorted into a people carrier.
Preparations for their special day appear to be underway and Spanish beauty Georgina has reportedly already started trying on wedding dresses.
The pair are living as man and wife in Italy and have a one-year-old daughter Alana Martina.
Georgina, who has backed the £538k-a-week Juventus forward over claims he raped an American woman in a Las Vegas hotel in 2009, is also helping to raise the footballer’s other three children.
Portugal captain Ronaldo, who was raised a Catholic, is a dad to Cristiano Jr, eight, and 17-month-old twins Eva and Mateo.
The couple were pictured wearing matching new Cartier rings during a recent romantic dinner in London.
Correio da Manha, referring to Georgina by her nickname Gio, quoted a source as saying: “Cristiano has already asked Gio to marry him and the wedding will take place, but few people know the details.

“All that is known at the moment is that Gio has already tried on some wedding dresses.”
Ronaldo met model Georgina in June 2016 while she was working at the Gucci store in Madrid.
Georgina sparked engagement rumours at the World Cup by showing off a stunning £615,000 diamond ring.
Earlier this year Ronaldo's mum said of Georgina during a magazine interview about her son’s love life, children and his alcoholic dad Dinis who drank himself into an early grave in September 2005: “She is the mother of my grand-daughter.
"She is a future daughter-in-law. She’s not my daughter-in-law yet. She’s a future daughter-in-law. She’s a very calm person.”
Georgina has posted a number of social media messages showing her support for her partner since it emerged US police have reopened an investigation stemming from a 2009 complaint from Kathryn Mayorga who says Cristiano raped her.
She issued a gushing statement in support of him after a shock report in German magazine Der Spiegel alleged the football star paid Miss Mayorga £287,000 "hush money".
Posing in a mini skirt and black high heels, she wrote on Instagram that the former United forward was always able to “transform the obstacles” put in his path in a message signed off by five heart emojis.
Cristiano, 33, has described the rape allegations against him as “fake news” and described rape as an “abominable crime.”
The Juventus star also uploaded a photo of himself at Pestana CR7 - his own hotel.
Pestana Group is the largest Portuguese tourism and leisure company and own 91 hotels.
But Ronaldo forged a partnership and has two of his own - one in Madrid and one in Lisbon.
