The Arsenal superstar asked the love of his life to marry him on a romantic date in a fancy London hotel. Saka and Benson, a senior planning executive, are believed to have started dating back in 2020 and largely keep their relationship under wraps. The England winger and his wife-to-be shared a number of black and white photos on social media. One of the classy snaps showcased the ring in all its glory and other photos displayed them lounging around a luxury hotel. Saka and Benson, both 24, have generally kept their involvement together off-grid. They still don't share photos of each other on Instagram; nor do they follow each other. Bukayo Saka has confirmed he is engaged to his long-term girlfriend Tolami Benson The pair finally went public at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar when they were pictured embracing in the stands in Doha. Since then, we have had a few snippets of them together. Benson was again cheering Saka on from the stands at Euro 2024 - there was even a kiss after England's 0-0 draw with Slovenia in June last year. At England's 1-0 win over Serbia at the tournament, she wore a custom-made leather biker jacket emblazoned with '87' - the same number that Saka wore on his jersey as he broke into the Arsenal senior side in 2018-19. Across Benson's social media accounts, while there have plenty of references to Arsenal, including friendships with fellow Premier League WAGS including Ben White's wife Milly and Leandro Trossard's wife Laura, there's little sign of the winger. Benson is originally from Hatfield, Hertfordshire and studied public relations and media at Birmingham City University. She has previously worked on the shop floor at Harrods but has been in PR for a number of years. In May, she started a new gig as a senior planning executive for Zenith. The duo generally keep their relationship off social media and don't follow each other On her Instagram, there's plenty of glitzy photos of private jets and luxe resorts, and even a shot of the PR exec proving she's a genuine gunner on a rural shooting trip. Over on Threads, Benson shares more down-to-earth images - including of her train platform view during her morning commute into central London. Saka too, keeps his private life on the down low on the socials, with no mention of his PR executive girlfriend of nearly four years, on his Instagram account, which has a whopping 7. 6 million followers.
