Meet the brand new WAGs of the Premier League – together with an Irish dancer-turned-model, a childhood sweetheart and a London-born influencer

Monday marked transfer deadline day – with Premier League clubs making huge moves as they took advantage of their chance to make and secure deals before the closure of the January 2026 window.

But it’s not only new footballers that will be soon gracing the pitches for the likes of Liverpool, Tottenham Hotspur and Bournemouth; they’ve brought their very glamorous wives and girlfriends along with them.

Cheering on from the sidelines will be an array of radiant, stylish partners, including an Irish dancer-turned-model, a London-born influencer mother-of-two and a Greek childhood sweetheart.

Returning to the Premier League, longtime WAG Aine May Kennedy will no doubt be in the stands at Spurs games to support her beau Conor Gallagher, after he came back to London from Atletico Madrid.

The Irish model, who’s in her late 20s, started dating Conor, 25, in 2019. Before enjoying a lavish, jet-setting lifestyle as a footballer’s partner, she was a professional dancer, moving to London from her native Cork to pursue her career. 

Meanwhile, a Greek fashionista, Athina Keskinidou, the childhood sweetheart and fiancée to Bournemouth’s new signing Christos Mandas, will also join the cohort of girlfriends and partners cheering on the teams this season. 

She’ll be joined by English footballer Tammy Abraham’s girlfriend Leah Monroe after he was signed by Aston Villa. Fashionable influencer Leah and Tammy share two children together and she’s a regular at the sportsman’s matches.

Read on to explore all the new, glamorous WAGS fans can expect to see in the stands throughout the rest of the 2025-26 Premier League season. 

Aine May Kennedy

Girlfriend of Conor Gallagher 

Conor Gallagher has recently completed a £34.6million deal with Tottenham and is set to return to the UK with his glamorous girlfriend Aine May Kennedy.

The Irish model, who was previously a dancer in London, has been dating the English midfielder for around six years, with the pair often pictured jetting off to a number of luxury locations including Val D’Isere, Beverly Hills and Marbella.

After achieving a degree in Entrepreneurship from Maynooth University in County Kildare, Aine went on to create her own successful business – The Smooth Company, which produces a wide range of premium beauty products.

Aine, who competed at the Miss Universe Ireland pageant in 2017, was said to have first crossed paths with Conor during her time at college, while the avid sports player was playing in the Chelsea academy.

Her father, Barry, previously told The Sunday World that the pair were ‘only 17 or 18 when they met each other’ and also quipped that Conor could play for the Republic of Ireland due to his Irish roots.

Amassing more than 64,000 followers on Instagram, Aine recently took to the social media platform to declare that the couple were ‘back’ in London with a heartwarming snap of them holding hands on the football pitch.

Even the couple’s pet dog, Freddy the Chow Chow, has more than 2.2k followers on his social media account, as fans online have often delighted in the adorable images of the sweet canine with his beloved owners.

Athina Keskinidou

Fiancée of Christos Mandas

Greek goalkeeper Christos Mandas, 24, signed with Bournemouth on loan until the end of the season in January, with his fiancée Athina Keskinidou set to be by his side.

The sportsman popped the question to his childhood sweetheart in a romantic beach proposal at sunset.

Taking to Instagram to share the incredible news, Athina, dressed in white, posted several photos of their picturesque engagement with a caption that read: ‘Together since everything was simple. From childhood dreams to real promises.’

The happy couple, who share an adorable dog together, often take to social media to share photos of their travels, while Athina has also been pictured in the stands watching on as her beloved fiancé competes.

Meanwhile, Athina herself often takes to social media to share her life as a WAG, including her ‘game day outfits’, numerous travels alongside her favourite fashion and lifestyle finds.

In January, when the news of Christos’s signing with Bournemouth was announced, she was captured beaming while stood alongside him and took to Instagram to share her support with a post that read: ‘New chapter’.

Kyanne Gomes

Partner of Taty Castellanos

In January, Lazio forward Taty Castellanos completed a £25,2million signing with West Ham, with the 27-year-old becoming the Hammers’ second January signing.

His girlfriend, Kyanne Gomes, 32, maintains a public profile on her Instagram page, where she often shares adorable photos of the loved-up couple, snapping pictures of them across the world and, most recently, with their two dogs Afri and Thunder during the festive period.

In October, Kyanne took to Instagram to wish ‘the love of my life’ a happy birthday, praising the sports star for being the ‘best companion’.

She added: ‘Thank you for taking care of me, respecting me, and making me feel so happy every day. Sharing life with you is everything.

‘I love you with all of my heart! (Afri and Thunder said you’re the best dad in the world).’

Following the move to West Ham, Taty revealed during an interview with the team that ‘my girlfriend and my two dogs’ had joined him for the big move.

He added: ‘We’ve been to London on vacation before, and it’s really exciting to be able to call this city our home now.’

Duda Santos

Wife to Rayan Rocha

Brazilian footballer Rayan Rocha, known simply as Rayan, wed his long-time girlfriend Duda Santos on January 23 in Rio de Janeiro.

Duda later took to Instagram to post a sea of images of the happy couple during their nuptials.

The caption read: ‘And the two shall become one flesh. So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what GOD has put together let no one separate Mark 10:8-0. 23/01/2026.’

The loved-up couple have been together since before Rayan signed his first professional deal with Vasco, with the esteemed footballer understood to have popped the question last year at a hotel in Rio.

Videos posted online showed guests at the gorgeous wedding singing a number of songs from Italian singer-songwriter Vasco Rossi, as well as the ‘oi, boa noite’ chant that carried the crowd late last year, and ‘A Barreira Vai Virar Baile’, a nod to Philippe Coutinho’s return to São Januário.

Their wedding comes ahead of Rayan being signed to Bournemouth in a deal worth approximately £24.7million to £30million.

Sina Gross

Wife of Pascal Gross

Pascal Gross, 34, completed his move from Brighton to German side Borussia Dortmund in August 2024, with the Seagulls describing him as their ‘greatest ever Premier League signing’.

This month, he returned to Brighton on a deal until January 2027.

And while the successful footballer maintains a relatively private personal life, his wife Sina Gross, formerly Sina Hundertmark, has often been pictured showing her support for her beloved husband on the pitch.

The loved-up couple, who wed privately, are believed to share two children together – with Sina captured next to their adorable young daughter as Pascal competed in the European Football Championships in 2024.

Sina, who donned a pink football shirt in a loving show of support for her husband’s team, multitasked by carrying her daughter in a sling. Dressed in a white headband with a bow, the young infant even had her own pink football kit.

She was also captured with her young son as they supported Pascal during the EUFA Euro 2024 group stage match between Germany and Hungary in June 2024. The match saw Germany rise to victory with a 2-0 score.

Reflecting on family life in Brighton with Sina in an interview with The Argus in 2024, Pascal revealed: ‘I started my own family. My kids were born here. We are happy. We have a nice family.

‘They support me. It is ideal for me. I have a beautiful family and can do what I love all my life, playing football.’

Leah Monroe 

Fiancée of Tammy Abraham

London-born influencer Leah Monroe, 36, first met Aston Villa striker Tammy Abraham, 28, more than seven years ago, with the couple understood to have gone from strength to strength ever since.

Since the pair first started dating, Leah has gone on to forge her own career on social media as a beauty, fashion and lifestyle vlogger with her own YouTube channel, alongside an Instagram following of at least 131,000.

The social media personality first followed Tammy to Rome when he joined AC Milan in July 2021 amid a £34million deal.

And the couple then went on to welcome their first child together on March 3, 2023, confirming the news on Instagram at the time.

Taking to Instagram, she shared a heart-melting snap of the newborn alongside the words: ‘My sweet baby boy Amari Abraham 03/03/23 Love you son x.’

Now, as Tammy is set to begin his new life at Aston Villa, Leah has shown her support for her beloved partner and took to her Instagram page to post: ‘When God leads, we follow.’

She also shared a post to her story which gave an insight into the perhaps challenging reality of life as a WAG of an international player.

The post, reshared by Leah, read: ‘Imagine if your partner had to move for their job tomorrow. And with a day’s notice, your whole life had to move too. That’s football.’
