At the Euro 2024 group stage match between England and Denmark, all eyes in the stadium were on Prince William and King Frederik – until Bukayo Saka’s girlfriend, Tolami Benson, showed up.
A king and a future king as rivals at the Euros in the stadium: When Prince William, 42, and King Frederik, 56, cheered on their respective national teams during the England vs. Denmark match on Thursday, June 20, 2024, it was a historic event. Their joint photo on social media: an absolute rarity – and it made royal fans’ hearts beat faster. But then Tolami Benson appeared in the stands and stole the show.
Euro Eye-Catcher Tolami Benson Goes Viral with Her Appearance
Tolami Benson is the girlfriend of Bukayo Saka, 22, a forward for the English national team. In the first Euro group stage match against Serbia on June 16, the Arsenal star shone. However, his partner outshone him afterward. Her appearance went viral on social media.
The reason: the PR consultant didn’t just wear an ordinary jersey to cheer on her boyfriend Bukayo Saka. She watched the European Championship match in a custom-made biker leather jacket designed by Antonia Bronze.

Celebrated for Her Biker Jacket Style
She still supported her beloved with her standout piece: the front and sleeves prominently featured the number 87, referencing Saka’s first Arsenal jersey number. Tolami Benson paired this with a trendy top from Diesel.
Her outfit snapshot subsequently went viral on Instagram. Tolami has nearly 70,000 followers there, and the post has garnered 43,000 likes so far, with numerous comments praising her style.

One user wrote: “I don’t know if you’ve seen it yet, but you’ve gone viral for serving looks,” meaning that the girlfriend of Euro star Bukayo Saka has gone viral for her style. On TikTok, the designer explained how the biker jacket was made.
Private Couple
Tolami Benson has been in a relationship with the star kicker for several years. Joint public appearances are rare. Benson and Bukayo Saka are mostly seen together in the stands at the stadium.
On Instagram, she shares private insights into her jet-set life, but mostly alongside her friends. But who knows: perhaps the PR consultant and the professional footballer will soon captivate fans with an exuberant celebration – if England showcases their true potential at the Euros.
