The England ace popped the question to his girlfriend of five years Tolami Benson at a swanky hotel, giving him more reason to celebrate after he helped the Gunners beat Spurs and Bayern Munich
England and Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has reportedly got engaged to his girlfriend Tolami Benson. Romantic Saka popped the question to his girlfriend of five years during a “special” date at a swanky London hotel, stunning Tolami with an “enormous” ring.
Saka and planning exec Tolami, both 24, have been together since 2020. They kept their relationship low profile until Tolami was seen cheering on her beau with fellow WAGs at the 2022 World Cup in Doha.
At Euro 2024, she sported a jacket with the number 87 emblazoned it – a nod to Saka’s shirt number when he got his big break with the Gunners’ first team. They were also seen enjoying a pitchside smooch during England’s 0-0 draw with Slovenia in June.
After helping the Gunners blow away Bayern Munich this week, Saka had more to celebrate as Tolami said ‘yes’.
A pal told The Sun: “Bukayo went all out for the proposal – and the ring he chose is absolutely enormous.
“He’d organised a special night at a top London hotel and proposed there. It was incredibly special and Tolami was totally blown away.”
Tolami is originally from Hatfield in Hertfordshire, and studied PR and Media at Birmingham University.
While her fiance has helped Arsenal to the top of the Premier League, Tolami has become a bit of a star herself, amassing an Instagram following of more than 200,000. She posed for a London Fashion Week shoot back in September, and stole the show at last year’s Fashion Awards in London, where she shone alongside A-list celebrities like Rihanna, Maya Jama and A$AP Rocky.
Many football fans have credited Tolami with inspiring a fresh wave of WAGs with her ravishing outfits and low-profile personality.
Meanwhile, Saka and Arsenal remain aligned regarding the winger’s future, according to Fabrizio Romano.
The Gunners star and his representatives are continuing discussions with the club over a fresh long-term contract. The 24-year-old enjoyed a great international break with England before helping Arsenal get their trophy charge back on track with a 4-1 win over North London rivals Spurs, followed by their 3-1 Champions League victory over Bayern.
Saka’s existing deal runs until the summer of 2027, with Romano suggesting the Three Lions star could spend his entire club career at Arsenal.
Writing for GiveMeSport, transfer-watcher Romano revealed: “We can’t predict the future, but that is the intention. Saka and Arsenal are very happy together, also for the long-term.”
