Arsenal and England star Bukayo Saka has proposed to his long-term partner, Tolami Benson, in a private and luxurious setting in London.
The couple, who have been together since around 2020, confirmed their engagement after sharing photos from the intimate moment on social media.
Their post, captioned simply “17.11.25”, showed the couple posing in different areas of the high-end hotel.
Reports indicate that the 25-year-old forward went all out to make the proposal truly memorable, selecting an exclusive London location for the life-changing moment.
The announcement follows years of public curiosity, as the pair have kept their relationship largely private, despite occasionally being seen together at major football events.
Who is Tolami Benson?
Tolami Benson is a British-Nigerian public relations professional who serves as a Senior Planning Executive at Zenith, a company known for data-driven and ROI-focused media strategies.
She studied Public Relations and Media at Birmingham City University and has steadily built her career in the communications sector.
Although she keeps a low public profile, Benson gained wider media attention during Euro 2024 after being spotted in the stands supporting Saka.
The couple have also been photographed together at other football events, including during the 2024 European Championship, where Saka was seen sharing a warm moment with her after England’s 1-1 draw with Slovenia.
Beyond his football career, Saka has strong ties to Nigeria and has visited the country multiple times.
A steady relationship
Saka and Benson’s relationship first became publicly known in 2020, though both avoided openly confirming it for several years.
Their engagement now marks a new chapter in their quietly maintained but steady partnership.
