Bukayo Saka Gets Engaged to Long-Term Girlfriend Tolami Benson After Romantic London Proposal

Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka is officially engaged to his long-term girlfriend Tolami Benson after a romantic proposal at a luxury London hotel, according to insider reports.

Sources close to the couple revealed that Saka, 24, “went all out” for the big moment, planning an intimate evening and presenting Tolami with an “absolutely enormous” engagement ring.

A Five-Year Relationship Kept Mostly Private

Saka and Tolami, also 24, have been together since 2020 but have largely kept their relationship away from the public eye. The pair first appeared publicly during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where Tolami was seen in the stands supporting the Arsenal winger.

She has continued to be a regular presence at major tournaments, including Euro 2024, where she wore a jacket featuring the number 87—a touching tribute to Saka’s first-ever squad number at Arsenal.

The couple were even photographed sharing a pitch-side kiss after England’s 0-0 draw with Slovenia during the tournament.

Who Is Tolami Benson?

Originally from Hatfield, Tolami studied Public Relations and Media at Birmingham University. She has since built a successful career and now works as a senior planning executive in London.

Saka’s Impressive Form On the Pitch

The engagement comes during a strong run of form for Saka, who recently played a key role in England’s World Cup qualifiers. He scored the opening goal in the Three Lions’ 2-0 victory over Serbia earlier this month.

Next, the Arsenal forward is set to feature in a highly anticipated Premier League clash as Arsenal host Chelsea at the Emirates Stadium on Sunday.
