Brighton WAGs: Meet the women behind the Seagulls ahead of 2026/27 Premier League
Brighton head into their tenth consecutive Premier League season under Fabian Hurzeler, with European football back on the agenda via the Conference League.
Off the pitch, the Seagulls squad leans on partners who mostly keep life well out of the spotlight.
Here’s a closer look at the women behind Brighton’s rise in the Premier League and beyond.
Anna Karolin Berger, girlfriend of head coach Fabian Hurzeler
Anna Karolin Berger is a German actress, known for playing in a German telenovela since 2025. She and Fabian Hurzeler went public with their relationship in June 2026, sharing holiday photos from a trip to Mauritius on Instagram.
The couple maintain a long-distance relationship, with Anna based in Munich for filming while Fabian works on the south coast of England. Despite the distance, the pair have kept their romance thriving, occasionally sharing glimpses of their time together.
Abi Yaxley, wife of Lewis Dunk
Abi Yaxley has been with Lewis Dunk since 2013, supporting him through his entire journey from Brighton’s academy to club captain and England international. Lewis proposed in the summer of 2019, describing the moment as more nerve-wracking than any Premier League match.
The couple have since married and now have two children together. Abi keeps a fairly private profile, rarely appearing in football media, though she remains a constant presence supporting Lewis through his testimonial years of service to the club.
Kenmochi Kuria, wife of Kaoru Mitoma
Kenmochi Kuria married Kaoru Mitoma in July 2022, having met him while they were both students together at Tsukuba University in Japan. She’s a champion triple-jump athlete, having competed at national level in Japan before their marriage.
The couple share a close, private bond, and Kaoru has often credited her as the pillar of support behind his rise from Japan’s domestic league to becoming one of the Premier League’s most electrifying wingers.
Even so, the pair have deliberately kept much of their relationship out of the public eye, once posting a wedding photo on Instagram without showing her face. She’s occasionally spotted in the stands at the Amex, cheering him on during his biggest performances.
Eiran Cashin’s girlfriend, Laura
Eiran Cashin has a girlfriend named Laura, though the couple keep their relationship almost entirely private. Beyond a handful of photos from their travels together, including a recent trip to Italy, little else is publicly known about her.
Eiran continues to focus on establishing himself as a first-team regular following his move from Derby County, with Laura quietly supporting him away from the cameras.
Alexandra Ferreira, partner of Costinha
Alexandra Ferreira has supported Costinha through his move from Portuguese football to Brighton.
The couple keep their relationship largely private, with little shared publicly about their life together away from the pitch.
Sera Vrij, fiancee of Ferdi Kadioglu
Sera Vrij has been in a long-term relationship with Ferdi Kadioglu, and the couple’s bond deepened further when he proposed to her in early 2025. Ferdi shared the happy news on social media, captioning the moment “you and me, forever and always.”
Sera has been a regular, supportive presence throughout his career, including during his rise with the Turkish national team and his big-money move to Brighton from Fenerbahce. The couple continue to build their life together on the south coast of England.
Lola Rozenberg, girlfriend of Mats Wieffer
Lola Rozenberg has been with Mats Wieffer since 2022, and the couple moved to England together once his transfer from Feyenoord to Brighton was confirmed. She’s from Enschede in the Netherlands, and she competed in the Miss Beauty Overijssel pageant, finishing fifth in the final.
Lola has since focused on completing a marketing degree, gaining experience through several industry placements along the way. The couple prefer to keep their relationship low-key, with Lola rarely appearing on Mats’s own social media, even though she shares glimpses of their life together in Brighton on her own accounts.
Abigail Mondria, wife of Pascal Struijk
Abigail Mondria married Pascal Struijk this summer, marking one of several weddings among Brighton’s squad and staff this year. The couple share the happy news together on social media, delighting fans and teammates alike.
Abigail continues to support Pascal as he settles into life at Brighton following his move from Leeds United.
Geraldine Villagra, girlfriend of Diego Gomez
Geraldine Villagra is a model and influencer who’s been dating Diego Gomez for several years. The pair are both from Misiones in Paraguay, and their families were already connected long before they started dating, since her brother played football alongside his.
Geraldine has described the two as complete opposites who complement each other well, calling herself intense compared to Diego’s calm, easygoing nature. She continues to support him closely as he settles into life at Brighton and with the Paraguay national team.
Sandra Kulusevska, girlfriend of Yasin Ayari
Sandra Kulusevska has been in a relationship with Yasin Ayari for several years, and the couple announced in 2026 that they’re expecting a baby together.
Sandra keeps a relatively private profile away from football media, though the pregnancy news added an exciting new chapter to Yasin’s continued rise as one of Brighton’s key midfielders.
Sina Hundertmark, partner of Pascal Gross
Sina Hundertmark has been in a relationship with Pascal Gross for years, supporting him throughout his time at Brighton since his move from Hoffenheim.
The couple married recently, and Sina keeps her life largely away from the spotlight, rarely appearing in football media despite Pascal’s long service to the club.
Aisha Touray, wife of Yankuba Minteh
Aisha Touray, a Gambian-American born and raised in the United States, married Yankuba Minteh in a ceremony in Banjul, Gambia, in the summer of 2025. The couple first met in December 2022 and kept much of their relationship private in the years that followed.
Aisha comes from a well-respected family in the Basse region of Gambia, with close ties to the country’s political circles. She’s since supported Yankuba through his club-record move to Brighton from Newcastle United, and the couple continue to split time between the UK, the US, and Gambia.
Gracie May Cook, girlfriend of Evan Ferguson
Gracie May Cook has supported Evan Ferguson through his rise as one of Ireland’s most promising young strikers, including his loan spell in Italy with Roma.
She’s travelled to Dublin to cheer him on during international fixtures, and the couple have been spotted enjoying nights out together to celebrate his goals. Gracie continues to be a steady presence as Evan looks to reestablish himself back at Brighton this season.
