Bukayo Saka is enjoying a winning streak both on and off the pitch, having recently got engaged to his long-term girlfriend. The footballer, who has been instrumental in Arsenal’s impressive start to the season, has proposed to Tolami Benson.

The Sun reports that ‘Star Boy’ popped the question with an ‘absolutely enormous’ engagement ring at a posh London hotel. After Benson accepted, the 24-year-old lovebirds are now gearing up for their big day and a lifetime together.

The couple, 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 flew to Qatar to cheer on her beau at the 2022 World Cup.

She was also spotted at Euro 2024, where the pair were seen sharing a tender moment after England’s lacklustre draw with Slovenia. Despite this, it’s clear the couple prefer to keep their relationship low-key, choosing not to post pictures of each other on social media and not even following each other on Instagram in an apparent bid to maintain their privacy.

So, what do we know about Benson? According to her LinkedIn profile, she is a graduate of Birmingham City University, holding a Bachelor of Arts (Hons) in Public Relations and Media.

Despite keeping her relationship with Saka off social media, she has amassed a significant following of her own, boasting over 200,000 followers on Instagram. Her social media is a treasure trove of chic fashion shots and glimpses into her daily life.

A Valentine’s Day post this year featured a picture of an adorable puppy and a cluster of heart-shaped balloons, presumably a sweet gesture from Saka. “Just us three,” she captioned the snap, adding a heart emoji for good measure.

However, not all posts are met with positive comments. A recent photo of her looking radiant in a plunging white dress sparked speculation about possible breast enhancement surgery among some followers.

Benson brushed off these assumptions with a cheeky retort: “Ppl swearing I had a boob job is so iconic.”

The majority of responses were full of praise for Benson’s style and appearance, with fans dubbing her “stunning” and “so gorgeous.” One follower, referring to Saka, commented: “Imagine coming back to this.”

Given their preference for keeping their private life under wraps, it’s doubtful we’ll get many sneak peeks into their wedding preparations. What’s clear, though, is that Saka is content and settled in his personal life – a positive sign as he aims to lead Arsenal and England to success in the coming months.
