Brentford WAGs: Meet the women behind the Bees ahead of the 2026/27 Premier League

Last Updated on 13 August 2026

Brentford enter the new season under Keith Andrews, hoping to build on a strong run that pushed them towards European qualification last year.

Off the pitch, the Bees squad leans on partners who mostly keep life firmly out of the spotlight. But it still features some stunning WAGs who are crucial in keeping the Bees buzzing in the league as they look to seal Europe after missing out last season.

From childhood sweethearts to new parents, here’s a closer look at the WAGs behind Brentford’s rise in the Premier League.

Ella Jayne Howarth, girlfriend of Nathan Collins

Ella Jayne Howarth has supported Nathan Collins throughout his rise from Stoke City to Burnley, Wolves, and now Brentford, where he has since become club captain. The couple keep their relationship notably low-key, with Ella rarely appearing on Nathan’s social media, although he occasionally gives her a heartfelt shoutout.

The pair enjoy travelling together, with recent trips including a New Year getaway to Paris and a holiday in Morocco. Ella lives in London and continues to support Nathan closely, both at Brentford and during his growing role as captain of the Republic of Ireland.

Leticia Carvalho, wife of Igor Thiago

Leticia Carvalho has supported Igor Thiago through a remarkable rise, one that’s taken the couple from Brazil to Bulgaria, Belgium, and now England following his club-record transfer to Brentford. They’re married with two young children, and the family made the move together once Igor’s Premier League switch was confirmed.

Leticia keeps their life together largely private, rarely appearing in football media. Even so, given Igor’s difficult upbringing in Brazil, including the loss of his father as a teenager, he’s spoken warmly about how much his family means to him, crediting them for keeping him grounded through his rapid rise in the game.

Eimear Murphy, fiancee of Caoimhin Kelleher

Caoimhin Kelleher missed a Brentford away trip to Burnley in February 2026 for the best possible reason: the birth of his child. Manager Keith Andrews confirmed the happy news before kick-off, offering his congratulations on behalf of the whole club. Caoimhin proposed to his long-time partner, Eimear Murphy in June 2025.

Even so, fatherhood has clearly added a new dimension to life for Brentford’s new number one as he settles into life away from Anfield.

Mary Haralambous, girlfriend of Aaron Hickey

Mary Haralambous has stood by Aaron Hickey since his breakthrough years in Italy, and she’s continued to support him closely through his rise at Brentford and with Scotland. She travelled to the United States to cheer him on during Scotland’s recent tournament run, showing just how committed she is to following his career wherever it takes them.

The couple keep a fairly grounded, low-key profile away from the cameras, letting Aaron’s performances on the pitch do most of the talking.

Bente Schuurmans, girlfriend of Sepp van den Berg

Bente Schuurmans and Sepp van den Berg are childhood sweethearts from the Netherlands, having been together since their teenage years. She’s a talented hockey player herself, having represented SCHC at a high level before moving to England to be closer to Sepp.

The couple have weathered several club moves together already, from Liverpool to Brentford, and Bente continues to balance her own sporting career with life alongside one of the Premier League’s most promising young defenders.

Marte Kopp, wife of Kristoffer Ajer

Marte Kopp is a Norwegian model and graphic designer who’s been with Kristoffer Ajer since 2019, back when he was still playing for Celtic. Kristoffer proposed in January 2022, and the couple went on to marry in Rome, Italy, in a celebration that caught plenty of attention back home in Norway.

Marte tends to keep her life fairly private, rarely giving interviews, though she remains a constant, supportive presence as Kristoffer continues his career at Brentford.

Eleonora Cantini, wife of Michael Kayode

Eleonora Cantini has supported Michael Kayode since his breakthrough years in Italian football with Fiorentina, and the couple have continued their relationship following his move to Brentford. The pair recently celebrated a baby shower together, sharing the happy news with friends and family as they prepare to welcome their first child.

Their gender reveal party was a unique thing, to say the least. Kayode has built a reputation for his incredibly dangerous long-throws and, as a result, the couple decided to reveal the gender of their baby with a long-throw at the Gtech Community Stadium.

Apart from that, Eleonora tends to keep much of their relationship private, though the couple’s growing family adds an exciting new chapter to Michael’s rise as one of the world’s most promising young full-backs. But, she does feature on Kayode’s Instagram from time to time.

Ines Kovac, fiancee of Vitaly Janelt

Ines Kovac has been with Vitaly Janelt since 2016, and the couple’s relationship has spanned his entire rise through German football and into the Premier League with Brentford. Vitaly proposed on Ines’s birthday in June 2021, marking five years together at the time and they soon welcomed a baby later.

Ines is known for keeping a notably private profile, preferring to avoid the spotlight despite Vitaly’s growing profile as a key midfielder for the Bees. Ines does post regularly on Instagram with her partner, providing a personal look into the couple’s gorgeous lifestyle at Brentford and beyond.

Clara Benevenuta Zenia Damsgaard, wife of Mikkel Damsgaard

Clara Benevenuta Zenia Damsgaard, originally from Gadstrup in Denmark, has been with Mikkel Damsgaard since 2021, not far from his own hometown of Jyllinge. Mikkel proposed in 2024, and the couple went on to marry in a beautiful summer ceremony in Florence, Italy, the following year, with Clara visibly pregnant with their first child on the big day.

Fellow Danish internationals Jonas Wind, Andreas Skov Olsen, and Mads Roerslev were all in attendance to celebrate. The couple have settled together in London, close to Brentford’s training ground, and Clara continues to be a steady, private presence as Mikkel establishes himself as one of the club’s most important players.
