Bukayo Saka’s Girlfriend: Who Is Tolami Benson?

Tolami Benson is a British-Nigerian public relations professional who works as a Senior Planning Executive at Zenith, a company known for ROI-focused media strategies.

She studied Public Relations and Media at Birmingham City University and has steadily built her reputation in the communications industry.

Although she maintains a low public profile, Benson gained increased media visibility during Euro 2024 after being spotted supporting Saka during England’s games.

Steady Relationship With The Arsenal Star

Saka and Benson’s relationship first became known in 2020, though the pair avoided public confirmation for years.

They have occasionally been photographed together, including during the 2024 European Championship, when Saka was seen sharing a moment with her after England’s 1-1 draw with Slovenia.

Away from this, Saka, who embraces his Nigerian roots and has visited the country multiple times, continues to excel for both Arsenal and the England national team.
