Bukayo Saka is enjoying a fantastic run both on and off the pitch, having proposed to his long-term girlfriend, Tolami Benson.
Saka, who has been instrumental in Arsenal's impressive start to the season, popped the question with an 'absolutely enormous' engagement ring at a posh London hotel, reports The Sun. After Benson accepted, the 24-year-old couple are now gearing up for their big day and a lifetime together.
The pair, who are believed to have started dating in 2020, managed to keep their relationship under wraps for quite some time, a remarkable achievement considering Saka's status as one of the country's most recognised sportsmen. However, they couldn't escape the spotlight after Benson travelled to Qatar to support her beau at the 2022 World Cup.
She was also present at Euro 2024, where the couple were seen sharing a tender moment following England's uninspiring draw against Slovenia. Despite this, it's evident that the couple prefer to maintain a low profile, opting not to post pictures of each other on social media and even not following each other on Instagram, seemingly in an effort to safeguard their privacy.
So, what do we know about Benson? Her LinkedIn profile reveals she studied at Birmingham City University, graduating with a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Public Relations and Media.
Despite not following Saka on social media, she has amassed a significant following of her own, boasting over 200,000 followers on Instagram.
Her social media showcases stylish fashion shots and glimpses into her daily routine. One post, shared on Valentine's Day this year, captured an adorable puppy and a collection of heart-shaped balloons, a romantic gesture from Saka. "Just us three," she captioned with a heart emoji.
Another more recent upload drew some unwarranted remarks. Appearing radiant in a plunging white gown, certain users speculated she'd undergone cosmetic breast surgery.
Those observations were apparently off target, with Benson delivering a witty comeback that read: "Ppl swearing I had a boob job is so iconic."
The majority of responses, it should be noted, praised Benson's appearance and outfit selection, with admirers describing her as "stunning" and "so gorgeous." One comment, referencing her partner, declared: "Imagine coming back to this."
Considering the discretion they choose to uphold, it seems doubtful that extensive details regarding their matrimonial arrangements will emerge. Nevertheless, it's evident Saka feels content and secure in his personal circumstances, which can only bode well as he aims to drive Arsenal towards Premier League and Champions League glory.
