Bukayo Saka, the star winger for Arsenal and the England national team, has reportedly proposed to his long-time partner, Tolami Benson. The proposal took place at a luxury hotel in London, where Saka is said to have “gone all out” complete with an “absolutely enormous” engagement ring, leaving Benson visibly stunned, according to close sources.
The couple, both 24, have been together since 2020 but kept their relationship largely out of the public eye. Their romance gained wider recognition during major international tournaments, including the 2022 World Cup and Euro 2024, when Benson was often spotted supporting Saka from the stands. This engagement marks a new chapter after five years together.
Friends, teammates and fans have flooded social media with congratulatory messages since the announcement, framing the news as a milestone both for Saka’s personal life and public persona. For many, the engagement signals a merging of stability off the pitch with growing responsibility on it, just as Saka’s star continues to rise.
