Arsenal star Bukayo Saka has reportedly taken a major step in his personal life, with multiple UK outlets claiming the winger has become engaged to his long-term partner, Tolami Benson.
According to reports, Saka planned a private evening at an exclusive London hotel where he surprised Benson with a proposal.
A source quoted in The Sun described the moment as emotional, revealing that the forward “went all out” and presented an “enormous” ring that left Benson “totally blown away.”

The couple both 24 have been together for five years. Their relationship first entered the public spotlight during the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, where Benson was regularly seen in the stands supporting the England international.
She also attended Euro 2024, wearing a jacket embroidered with “87,” a nod to Saka’s first squad number at Arsenal.

News of their engagement comes during a positive period for Saka on the pitch. The winger has captained Arsenal in recent weeks due to Martin Ødegaard’s absence, helping the Gunners stay unbeaten across all competitions.
