England WAGs at the World Cup 2026: Meet the women behind the Three Lions

When England head to North America this summer, the nation’s attention won’t only be fixed on Thomas Tuchel’s tactics or Harry Kane’s goal tally.

As always, the WAGs will be every bit as talked about as the players themselves.

From childhood sweethearts to television personalities, here are the most famous England WAGs set to be cheering on the Three Lions in World Cup 2026.

Katie Kane: The captain’s rock

Few love stories in football are as enduring as Harry Kane’s with Katie Goodland. The pair met as children in a school in East London and went to their school prom together at 16. This was long before Kane was lifting Golden Boots and breaking records at Bayern Munich.

They married in June 2019 and have four children together. A sports science graduate and fitness instructor, Katie has always carved out her own professional identity while remaining, by all accounts, the steady foundation behind England’s record scorer.

Ashlyn Castro: Real Madrid’s most glamorous import

Jude Bellingham is arguably the most exciting player in world football right now, and his girlfriend is turning heads in her own right. While he may not be a nailed on starter in the World Cup 2026, his current partner, Ashlyn Castro remains in the headlines, via AS.

She first became linked to the Real Madrid star during his breakout season in Spain. Stylish and fiercely independent, Castro has navigated the intense scrutiny that comes with dating one of the planet’s most famous 22-year-olds with considerable grace.

Rebecca Cooke: Phil Foden’s constant

Rebecca Cooke is not the type to seek the spotlight, but she has become one of the most recognised faces in the England WAG circle simply by being there: quietly, consistently, and loyally. She and Phil Foden are Stockport teenagers who fell for each other at a party.

And since then, they have since built a family together with three children. Rebecca’s understated presence in the stands has made her a fan favourite; a reminder that not every WAG story is about celebrity, sometimes it is just about love.

Megan Pickford: The goalkeeper’s girl

If longevity is the measure, few England WAG stories rival Megan Pickford’s. She and Jordan Pickford have been together since they were teenagers at school in the north-east of England. They legally married in March 2020 during the Covid lockdown, then threw the celebration they’d always planned in June 2022.

It was a beautiful sunset ceremony in the Maldives in front of just 13 close friends and family. Megan is an active presence on Instagram. That’s her way of documenting family life, international holidays and her unwavering support for Jordan. She has simply always been there, which, in this game, counts for everything.

Lauren Fryer: Declan Rice’s fiercely private partner

Lauren Fryer and Declan Rice have been together since they were 17, a childhood romance that has quietly survived Premier League stardom, an £105 million transfer to Arsenal and the relentless glare of international football. The couple have a son named Jude.

Lauren’s decision to step back from social media after a vicious wave of online trolling during Euro 2024 drew widespread support, including a public defence from her fellow WAG Dani Dyer. In a world that rewards self-promotion, Lauren Fryer’s instinct to protect is admired.

Tolami Benson: Bukayo Saka’s fiancee-in-the-making

For years, Tolami Benson was football’s best-kept secret. She and Bukayo Saka had been quietly together since 2020, but it wasn’t until the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, when she appeared in the stands supporting Saka, that the world properly noticed her.

She built her career as a media strategist and senior executive, studied public relations at Birmingham City University, and established herself as a genuine style influencer in her own right. At the 2026 World Cup, Tolami will arrive not just as a WAG but as a fiancee.
