As World Cup fever descends across the UK, it got us thinking back to 2006 when the fixation with the England squad's WAGS (Wives and Girlfriends) hit ultimate furore – with the likes of Victoria Beckham, Coleen Rooney and Cheryl Tweedy dominating all the tabloids, sparking fashion trends aplenty and commentary galore.
This time around however, the term WAGS is fully deceased (we've moved on, guys!)... but we're still keen to know about the partners behind the men's team hoping to bring it home for England this summer, especially seeing as many of them have fascinating careers and huge online followings themselves.
So! Here's all you need to know about the (confirmed) wives, fiancées and girlfriends of the England team players.
Harry Kane: married to Kate Kane
Who she is: Kate Kane (née Goodland) is the squad captain's childhood sweetheart. The couple met while at Chingford Foundation School in east London and married in 2019.
What she does: As well as having a sizeable social media following, Kate is a qualified fitness instructor. The couple have four children, Ivy, Vivienne, Louis and Henry, whose faces they keep obscured online; the safety and privacy of their family is Kate and Harry's big focus.
Speaking about his wife, Harry once told the Evening Standard how grateful he was that they met at such a young age: "If I was single now and meeting people, you'd never know if they were with you for the right reasons. Is it the money? You'd never really know.
Everyone's clicking on...
"So I'm lucky that I've got a childhood sweetheart. [Kate] always wanted to do her own thing. She went to university and worked hard. I have a great family, they keep me grounded and they've worked just as hard as me to get me where I am."
Bukayo Saka: engaged to Tolami Benson
Who she is: Tolami Benson is one of the most recognisable partners in the England camp, having gone pretty viral after being spotted in the stands (looking fire) cheering Bukayo Saka on during the 2024 Euros. The pair are understood to have been together since around 2020 and got engaged in November 2025.
What she does: Tolami works in marketing and PR, and as an influencer, having previously worked for brands including Puma and creating an edit for River Island. She has also built a significant social media following thanks to her fashion-forward style and travel content.
Declan Rice: engaged to Lauren Fryer
Who she is: Lauren Fryer is Declan Rice's childhood sweetheart. The couple met as teenagers and have been together for more than eight years. They share a son, Jude.
What she does: Lauren prefers to stay away from the spotlight and keeps a relatively low public profile compared with many footballers' partners. Sadly, in 2024, Rice publicly defended Lauren after she was subjected to online trolling, with the midfielder making clear how important she is to him.
Following this, Lauren wiped her social media feeds, but was seen publicly for the first time in two years a few weeks ago, when she and Jude joined Declan on the pitch to celebrate Arsenal triumphing over Crystal Palace.
Jude Bellingham: dating Ashlyn Castro
Who she is: Ashlyn Castro is an American influencer, model and content creator who has recently become one of the most talked-about partners connected to the England squad.
What she does: Ashlyn has built a substantial online following through fashion, beauty, lifestyle and travel content. She regularly shares glimpses of her life with hundreds of thousands of followers across social media platforms.
The pair have kept their relationship relatively private, but Ashlyn has been spotted supporting Jude at matches and was reportedly among the partners visiting England's World Cup base. As Jude is one of football's most sought-after young stars, their relationship has attracted significant public interest.
Jordan Pickford: married to Megan Pickford
Who she is: Megan Pickford (formerly Davison) is Jordan's childhood sweetheart. The couple met as teenagers while growing up in Sunderland and married in a grand ceremony in the Maldives in 2022 (after making it official on a smaller scale during the Covid lockdown of 2020). Posting about the special day, Megan told her followers it was "worth the wait for the most magical day with my soulmate".
What she does: Megan is an influencer with a large social media following. She regularly shares content focused on fashion, beauty, travel and family life. The couple share three children: a son, Arlo, and daughters named Ostara and Misty.
John Stones: married to Olivia Stones
Who she is: Olivia Stones (née Naylor) is a businesswoman and former beautician who has been in a relationship with Manchester City defender John Stones since 2019. They married in Ibiza in 2025.
What she does: Olivia runs businesses in the beauty sector and has built a strong social media following of her own. As well as having a child each from prior relationships, the couple welcomed their first child together in 2023 and generally keep their family life private. Olivia is often seen supporting John during major tournaments and has been posting about her time in the US for the World Cup.
Ollie Watkins: married to Ellie Watkins
Who she is: Ellie Watkins (née Alderson) is forward Ollie Watkins' long-term partner and the mother of his two children, Amara and Marley.

Anthony Gordon: linked to Annie Keating
Who she is: Annie Keating is Anthony Gordon's long-term partner.
What she does: Annie's Instagram account is not public, so little is known of her compared to the other wives, girlfriends and fiancées, but it is reported that Annie works as a make-up artist.
Ivan Toney: linked to Katie Bio
Who she is: Katie Bio has been seen championing Ivan Toney throughout some of the most significant moments of his career, including his England breakthrough and him being issued an eight-month suspension from football for betting.

Reece James: linked to Mia McClenaghan
Who she is: Mia McClenaghan is Reece James' long-term girlfriend. The pair have been together for several years and are regarded as one of football's more private high-profile couples.
What she does: Mia is a law graduate who has pursued a career in the legal profession while also maintaining a growing social media presence. It is also reported she has a specialised interest in AI.
Eberechi Eze: married to Izuthe Eze
Who she is: Izuthe (formerly Mulatto) is believed to have married Eberechi Eze in 2022; the pair were first seen together in 2019 and have known one another since their teenage years.
What she does: Very little is publicly known about Izuthe, reflecting the couple's preference for privacy. Eberechi previously told Prime Video that his wife is what keeps him grounded: "I've been blessed with a special wife, I'm grateful to have her. She definitely keeps me grounded, keeps me normal. Without her I don’t know what type of person I'd be."
He added, "To be able to be rooted and have firm foundations, that allows me to enjoy football even more, and to express myself even more."
