Everton WAGs: Meet the women behind the Toffees ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League season
Last Updated on 11 August 2026
Everton begin life at their new Hill Dickinson Stadium home, hoping to build fresh momentum under David Moyes after settling into their new surroundings.
Off the pitch, the club’s key players lean on partners who’ve stood by them through Premier League relegation battles, transfer dramas, and everything in between.
Here’s a closer look at the women supporting Everton’s biggest names this season.
Pamela Moyes, wife of manager David Moyes
Pamela Moyes has been married to David Moyes for decades, meeting him as a childhood sweetheart in their native Glasgow. She’s stood by him through every high and low of an incredible managerial career.
The couple have two children together, Lauren and David Jr. David has often credited Pamela’s steady presence for helping him navigate the pressures of the job. He once joked that a trip to Milan for their anniversary ended up as a scouting mission to the Italian Cup final.
When David was appointed OBE at Windsor Castle, he called the moment “emotional” for both him and Pamela, who’s remained his quiet constant throughout a long career in the game.
Megan Pickford, wife of Jordan Pickford
Megan Pickford has known Jordan Pickford since they were teenagers at secondary school in the north-east of England. The couple began dating when Megan was just 14, and she’s been by his side ever since, through his rise from Sunderland’s academy to England’s number one.
Jordan proposed during the 2018 World Cup in Russia. The couple married quietly at a Crewe registry office in 2020 before finally celebrating with a beach ceremony in the Maldives in 2022. They now have three children together: Arlo, Ostara, and Misty.
Megan keeps a low profile away from the pitch, though she’s a familiar presence at Everton and England matches alike.
Isla Armstrong, fiancee of Jarrad Branthwaite
Isla Armstrong and Jarrad Branthwaite announced their engagement in December 2025, sharing the happy news on Instagram while Jarrad continued his recovery from a lengthy injury layoff. Everton teammates and staff quickly showed their support, with centre-back partner James Tarkowski among those who personally congratulated the couple.
Isla keeps her life largely private, rarely appearing in interviews or public settings. Even so, she has remained a steady presence throughout Jarrad’s recovery, supporting him as he continues to establish himself as one of England’s most promising young defenders.
Samantha Tarkowski, wife of James Tarkowski
Samantha Tarkowski has supported James Tarkowski for several years, standing by him throughout his rise from Burnley to becoming a defensive mainstay at Everton. She prefers to keep her life away from the cameras, rarely giving interviews or engaging publicly with football media.
Despite that privacy, Samantha remains a respected figure within Everton’s wider WAG community, known for her strong presence whenever she does step into the spotlight alongside James.
Ioana Ndiaye, wife of Iliman Ndiaye
Ioana Ndiaye has supported Iliman Ndiaye through his rise from Sheffield United to Marseille and now Everton. The couple share three children together, with their third arriving in December 2024. Ioana regularly documents their family life on Instagram, where she has a following of around 58,000 people.
She’s spoken warmly about her children, once calling them her “greatest gift” in an emotional post. The family have settled well on Merseyside, with Ioana occasionally sharing glimpses of their travels together, including a trip to Dubai for their youngest child’s first holiday abroad.
Tilde Cilla Syah, fiancee of Brennan Johnson
Tilde Cilla Syah is a model who’s been with new Everton signing Brennan Johnson for several years, having weathered plenty of transfer upheaval together. Brennan proposed to her in London in 2024, and Tilde has stood firmly by his side ever since, including during an awkward spell when a false rumour linked him to an adult film star, which she swiftly shut down online.
She was in the stands wearing his shirt for Tottenham’s Europa League final win over Manchester United, and Brennan sent her a message straight from the pitch afterwards.
The couple now begin a new chapter together on Merseyside, following Brennan’s swap move to Everton this August.
Emmie Rose, partner of Michael Keane
Emmie Rose has built a life alongside Michael Keane away from the spotlight, with the couple raising their family together on Merseyside. She keeps a low public profile, rarely appearing in football media despite Michael’s long career as a Premier League defender.
Even so, those close to the couple describe a warm, settled family life together, with Michael continuing to be a steady, experienced presence in Everton’s squad.
Viktoriia Mykolenko, wife of Vitalii Mykolenko
Viktoriia Mykolenko has supported Vitalii Mykolenko since his early days at Dynamo Kyiv, long before his move to the Premier League. The couple share children together, and Viktoriia recently announced they’re expecting another addition to their family, sparking a wave of congratulations from Everton fans online.
She keeps her life largely private, preferring not to share too much of their relationship publicly. Even so, she has remained a steady, supportive presence throughout Vitalii’s career on Merseyside, standing by him against the difficult backdrop of the war in his native Ukraine.
Josefine Barsoe Nielsen, wife of Christian Norgaard
Josefine Barsoe Nielsen has supported Christian Norgaard throughout their marriage, standing by him as his career took them from Denmark to Italy and across England, with spells at Brentford and Arsenal before his move to Everton.
The couple keep their family life largely out of the public eye, though Josefine has occasionally shared glimpses of their celebrations together. She continues to stand by Christian as he begins yet another chapter of his career on Merseyside, bringing his experience to David Moyes’s rebuilt midfield.
Charlene, partner of Thierno Barry
Charlene has supported Thierno Barry through his rapid rise from France’s lower leagues to the Premier League. The couple are expecting their first child together, with Charlene’s baby bump first appearing in a post on Thierno’s Instagram.
She’s kept much of their relationship private, though the pregnancy news added an extra layer of excitement to Thierno’s big-money move to Everton last summer. As Thierno continues to establish himself as Everton’s new number nine, Charlene remains a quiet source of support off the pitch.
