Arsenal superstar and England international, Bukayo Saka, has officially announced his engagement to his long-term girlfriend, Tolami Benson, sending social media into a frenzy as the couple finally confirmed one of the most anticipated moments in their love story.
The 24-year-old footballer proposed to Tolami, who is also 24, during a private romantic date at an upscale London hotel, creating an unforgettable moment for the pair who have largely kept their relationship away from the public eye for years.
The couple broke the news on Friday evening through a joint Instagram post captioned “17.11.25”, a simple but powerful reference to the date Saka popped the question.
Although the pair have often maintained a quiet presence on social media, their engagement photos immediately lit up the internet, with fans, football lovers, and celebrity friends celebrating their milestone.
The pictures showcased a soft and intimate setting, with both Saka and Tolami radiating joy as they displayed the stunning ring chosen by the Arsenal star.
Sources close to the couple revealed that Saka spared no expense in making the proposal magical. A close insider told The Sun that the midfielder “went all out for the proposal – and the ring he chose is absolutely enormous.”
According to the source, Saka planned a carefully curated evening, booking a top-tier London hotel where he surprised Tolami with a heartfelt private moment before presenting the ring. “It was incredibly special and Tolami was totally blown away,” the insider added.
Bukayo Saka and Tolami Benson, both of Nigerian heritage, are believed to have started dating around 2020.
Despite Saka’s rise to global football stardom and Tolami’s growing influence on social media, the couple often preferred to stay low-key, occasionally dropping subtle hints of their relationship but never fully confirming it until now. Their engagement marks a new chapter for one of football’s most admired young couples.
The engagement photos released on Instagram capture the tenderness of their bond. In one of the images shared by Linda Ikeji’s Blog, the pair are seen holding each other closely, their happiness unmistakable.
Another photo highlights the massive engagement ring, a sparkling centrepiece that immediately caught the attention of fans in the comment section, with many praising Saka’s choice.
Reactions have poured in across platforms, with supporters congratulating the couple while also teasing Saka about maintaining focus ahead of Arsenal’s upcoming fixtures.
Some fans playfully urged him to “seal the engagement with goals,” especially with a big match looming.
Others offered heartfelt prayers for a peaceful union, while a few cheeky commenters reminded the footballer to “follow the Hakimi playbook” a humorous reference to footballer Achraf Hakimi’s well-known asset protection strategy.
Despite the mixed tones of online banter, the overall mood remains celebratory as fans applaud the young couple for taking a major step forward in their relationship.
