Inside the vibey life of ‘WAG of the year’ and Saka’s girlfriend, Tolami Benson
She’s actually living the dream
Arsenal and England football player Bukayo Saka made headlines this weekend, and not just for his impressive display during Sunday’s Euro 2024 opener against Serbia. The 22-year-old’s partner Tolami Benson also attracted media attention thanks to a very cute tribute to her man. During Sunday’s match, Tolami was pictured wearing a jacket with the number 87 on it, in a nod to his early days at Arsenal.
Tolami Benson, 23, has been dubbed “WAG of the year” thanks to Sunday’s wholesome tribute, despite very little being known about her. Saka and Tolami have been private about their relationship from the start, with fans only deducing that they were together from individual Instagram posts each had shared of them both in Dubai on a yacht.
Despite the two having been together since 2020, they don’t even follow each other on social media nor do they explicitly post one another. The only confirmation either has posted about them actually being together are Tolami’s posts of her watching matches and the occasional cryptic Instagram caption.
With their relationship in a seemingly eternal very soft launch, here’s everything we know about the Bukayo Saka’s girlfriend, Tolami Benson:
