Bukayo Saka's fiancée Tolami Benson, 25, reveals she would 'love to elope' as she opens up on their 'intimate' wedding plans and her hopes for a 'wild and chaotic' old-school hen

Tolami Benson - the fiancée of Bukayo Saka - has shed light on her desire to have an intimate wedding, despite fascination surrounding the couple.

While her husband-to-be plays in the World Cup, which saw England enjoy a stunning victory of 3-2 against on Sunday, the influencer spoke about their plans. 

The couple started dating in 2020 - yet Tolami will not reveal further details - and became engaged in December 2025, during which they posed for a stunning Vogue shoot, yet Tolami insists the nuptials will be wholly more private. 

Despite vowing to have a 'wild and chaotic' old-school hen, she told The Sunday Times Style: 'It's nice to have things for yourself. I think weddings should be fun, so I'm not like "Oh my gosh, I need to have the most Instagrammable wedding"'

'My mum would have a heart attack but if I could elope I would. I feel like it starts with you guys, it ends with you guys. Marriage is sacred'.

Tolami is the hottest property in the WAG world, having just launched her own fashion edit with River Island, featured in Vogue and scoring 288k Instagram followers. 

Vogue described Tolami as the woman responsible for 'reviving WAG fever'. 

In 2024, the Hertfordshire-born beauty was still working full time in account management after graduating from Birmingham City University with a public relations degree however she has now veered into influencing. 

Her custom-made Arsenal-inspired looks have made her a particular pin-up of the team, including wearing a custom leather biker jacket made by Antonia Bronze, which gave a nod to Bukayo's first Arsenal shirt number 87. 

Tolami's most recent public appearance with her fiancé was at the NYC premiere of Bukayo's upcoming Disney+ documentary : The Time Is Now.

Directed by Emmy winner Robert Alexander, the film was announced by his new sponsor WhatsApp and has been produced in partnership with Bukayo and Modern Arts and will be released on Disney+ and air on Fox in America.

Variety details: ''Bukayo Saka: The Time is Now' brings together two generations of Arsenal greats as Saka joins club legend Thierry Henry for what's billed by the filmmakers as an unguarded look at what it takes to perform at the highest level...

'In it, he and Henry reflect on pressure, resilience, and the joy that first drew them to the game, with the conversation taking them back to Saka's childhood home in Ealing where it all began...

'The documentary will also reveal Saka’s private support system behind the public moments, including a WhatsApp message from Henry that shifted his perspective following the Euro 2020 championships...

'A pivotal point in his career when, at the age of just 19, he missed a penalty in the final against Italy. As per the description, it’s a “testament to the power of staying connected to the people who matter most, especially when the stakes are highest.'

Speaking about the show, Bukayo said: 'This film has given me the chance to tell my story in a way I never have before...

'People see the goals and the matches, but they don’t see what it takes behind the scenes, and part of that is my support system, the WhatsApp messages from the people who were there long before any of this who have believed in me every step of the way.'
