Premier League

Bukayo Saka is one of the brightest stars in world football — and fans are just as curious about his life off the pitch. So who is Bukayo Saka’s partner?

Who is Tolami Benson?

Saka’s long-term girlfriend is Tolami Benson, who, like the Arsenal and England winger, is of Nigerian heritage. The couple have been together for several years, and in 2026 reports emerged that the pair had become engaged — news that delighted supporters who have seen Benson cheering Saka on from the stands at major tournaments.

Private by choice

Saka keeps his relationship largely out of the spotlight, letting his football do the talking. Benson has occasionally been seen supporting him at England games, but the couple guard their privacy — a grounded approach that mirrors Saka’s humble reputation.

A proud Nigerian story

Born in England to Nigerian parents, Saka is a source of huge pride back in Naija. On and off the pitch, his story is one the Super Eagles family celebrates.
