His player Arsenal, Bukayo Sakahe got engaged to his girlfriend, Tolami Benson. After five years together, the 24-year-old surprised her with what British media described as an “absolutely huge” ring, marking a major personal milestone for the Gunners talisman who continues to shine on the pitch.
Bukayo Saka is officially engaged, with the Arsenal and England star going “all in” with a romantic proposal to long-time girlfriend Tolami Benson at a top London hotel.
Saka took the relationship to the next level
Saka took a big step in his personal life after proposing to his girlfriend of five years, Tolami, during a carefully planned evening at a luxury hotel in London. The Arsenal striker arranged the romantic event in private, surprising Tolami with a proposal that The Sun described as stunning in both scale and sentiment. Saka presented her with what was called an “absolutely enormous” engagement ring, leaving her “totally blown away” by the gesture.
The two have been together since 2020, but have largely kept their relationship out of the public eye, choosing to avoid the spotlight during Saka's rise to global stardom.
The pair first publicly confirmed their relationship when Tolami was seen supporting him at the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and has since become a constant presence at major Arsenal and England matches. Tolami was a constant figure behind the scenes at key moments in Saka's career.
Like Saka, Benson is 24 years old. He is a senior planning executive in London, having graduated from the University of Birmingham with a degree in Public Relations and Media.
The engagement is further good news for Saka after a positive start to the season for Arsenal in both the Premier League and Champions League.
