Arsenal's golden boy, Bukayo Saka, has gone from dazzling defences on the pitch to stealing hearts off it, proposing to longtime girlfriend Tolami Benson in a fairy-tale moment at a swanky London hotel. The 24-year-old England winger pulled out all the stops, presenting her with an "absolutely enormous" engagement ring that left Tolami "totally blown away," sources reveal.

Saka “went all out”

After five years of keeping their romance largely under wraps, Saka orchestrated a private romantic evening that screamed movie-star romance.

Insiders told The Sun the Arsenal ace "went all out," transforming the luxury spot into a love nest worthy of his rising superstar status.

The couple, both 24, first sparked dating rumours in 2020 but only went public when Tolami cheered Saka at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar. She's since been his No. 1 fan, rocking a jacket with his original Arsenal squad number 87 at Euro 2024 and sharing a pitchside kiss after England's Slovenia draw.​

Who is Tolami Benson?

Tolami, a senior planning executive from Hatfield with a PR and media degree from Birmingham University, balances her career with courtside support. Her poised presence and stylish appearances have earned her recognition as a modern WAG (Wives and Girlfriends of footballers), often spotted in elegant outfits at stadiums. With over 205,000 Instagram followers (@tolami_benson), Benson shares glimpses of her life, fashion, and support for Saka.

She's attended high-profile events like the 2025 Brit Awards and England games, blending sophistication with fandom. Fans praise her as a stabilising influence during Saka's high-pressure career.

While Saka terrorises Premier League full-backs, she's the steady force behind his Hale End-to-hero journey.

Saka has been in great form

On the pitch, Saka's form is red-hot. Despite a hamstring niggle sidelining him for three early games, he's notched six goals and an assist in 16 appearances. His magic fueled Arsenal's 3-1 Champions League thrashing of Bayern Munich, where he wore the captain's armband sans Martin Odegaard.

Mikel Arteta's Gunners top the Premier League and UCL tables, with Saka as the creative heartbeat. For England, he's nailed World Cup qualifiers under Thomas Tuchel, proving maturity beyond his years.​

"Saka's scoring in life too! 💍⚽" one fan tweeted. Wedding whispers point to summer 2026, post-North American World Cup, letting Saka focus on Arsenal's Chelsea clash Sunday at the Emirates.
