In a heartwarming turn of events, Arsenal and England football sensation Bukayo Saka is officially off the market. The 24-year-old winger has proposed to his longtime girlfriend, Tolami Benson, marking a significant milestone in their relationship.
A Private and Special Proposal
The exciting news, first reported by UK Sun, reveals that the proposal took place during a private and "special" night at a top hotel in London. Saka, determined to make the moment unforgettable, reportedly went "all out" for the occasion. A key highlight of the romantic gesture was the selection of an "absolutely enormous" engagement ring for his now-fiancée, Tolami.
A Love Story Five Years in the Making
Bukayo Saka and Tolami Benson, who are both 24 years old, are not new to each other's lives. The couple has been together for at least five years, building a strong foundation for their future. Despite Saka's global fame, they have successfully kept their relationship largely out of the intense public spotlight, choosing to cherish their privacy.
However, their love has had its public moments that fans have cherished:
- They were first spotted together publicly during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
- Tolami was a visible and supportive presence during Euro 2024, cheering Saka on from the stands.
- Following England's draw with Slovenia earlier this year, the pair shared a quick, affectionate pitchside kiss, a moment that delighted fans and confirmed their strong bond.
What This Means for the Football Star
This engagement marks the beginning of a new, exciting chapter for Bukayo Saka. Moving from a private, long-term relationship into an official engagement shows his commitment to building a stable personal life alongside his glittering professional football career. For his countless fans in Nigeria and around the world, this news adds a beautiful personal victory to the many he has achieved on the pitch.
