Saka Proposes in Style

Arsenal forward Bukayo Saka has proposed to his long-term girlfriend, Tolami Benson, in an elegant private setting in London. The couple, together since around 2020, confirmed their engagement after sharing photos of the special moment on social media. Their post, captioned “17.11.25”, featured images of the pair posing around different parts of the hotel.

Reports say the 25-year-old “went all out” by selecting a high-end venue to make the occasion memorable. The announcement ends years of public curiosity, as Saka and Benson have mostly kept their relationship private despite being seen together at major tournaments.

Benson, a British-Nigerian public relations expert, works as a Senior Planning Executive at Zenith, a media firm known for ROI-driven strategies. A graduate of Birmingham City University, she has built a solid career in communications. Her profile grew during Euro 2024 when she was spotted supporting Saka during England’s matches.

Their relationship first became known in 2020, though the couple avoided public confirmation for a long time. They were later photographed together at the 2024 European Championship, where Saka shared a brief moment with her after England’s 1-1 draw with Slovenia. Away from the spotlight, Saka continues to shine for Arsenal and the England national team.
