According to sources close to the couple, Saka orchestrated an intimate evening that culminated in a heartfelt proposal, complete with what insiders described as an "absolutely enormous" engagement ring. "Bukayo went all out for the proposal," one source told *The Sun*. "It was incredibly special, and Tolami was totally blown away."
Saka and Benson, both 24, have maintained a relatively private relationship since beginning to date in 2020. Their romance first drew public attention during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, where Benson was spotted supporting Saka alongside other partners of England players. She has since become a familiar presence at major tournaments, including Euro 2024, where she was seen wearing a custom jacket emblazoned with the number 87—a nod to Saka's early Arsenal academy shirt. More recently, the pair shared a tender pitchside kiss following England's draw with Slovenia earlier this year, underscoring the strength of their bond amid Saka's rising stardom.
Benson, originally from Hatfield, Hertfordshire, holds a degree in public relations and media from Birmingham City University. She currently works as a senior planning executive at Zenith, a firm specializing in optimizing business investments. Sharing Nigerian heritage with Saka, she has carved out her own career in London's media and PR landscape while remaining a steadfast supporter of his professional endeavors.
The engagement arrives at a pinnacle moment for Saka, who continues to anchor Arsenal's attack under manager Mikel Arteta. The Gunners recently secured a 3-1 victory over Bayern Munich in the UEFA Champions League—with Saka providing a key assist—and sit atop the Premier League table ahead of a crucial matchup against Chelsea this weekend. For England, Saka recently opened the scoring in a 2-0 World Cup qualifying win over Serbia, further cementing his role as a national team linchpin..
