Leeds United head into their second successive Premier League season under Daniel Farke, aiming to push into the top half after a busy summer of spending.

Off the pitch, the squad leans on partners who mostly keep life fairly grounded.

Here’s a closer look at the WAGs behind Leeds’s squad ahead of the Premier League season.

Sandra Jerze, wife of Dominic Calvert-Lewin

Sandra Jerze married Dominic Calvert-Lewin in March 2025, following several years together as a couple. The pair welcomed a daughter in the summer of 2023, adding a new dimension to Dominic’s career during his final years at Everton.

Sandra has largely stayed out of the spotlight since, though she has continued to support Dominic as he made his big-money move to Leeds this summer and looks to fire the Whites up the table following their promotion back to the Premier League.

Rafaela Oliveira, partner of Lucas Perri

Rafaela Oliveira has supported Lucas Perri through his rise from Brazilian football to becoming Leeds’s number one following his move from Lyon.

The couple keep their relationship largely private, with little shared publicly beyond the occasional glimpse of their life together as Lucas settles into life in England.

Abi Cairns, partner of Alex Cairns

Abi Cairns has stood by Alex Cairns through his career as a goalkeeper, including his time as part of Leeds’s squad depth. The couple married in the summer of 2026 and have a baby together.

The couple keep their relationship notably private, rarely appearing together in football media.

Lauren Townley, girlfriend of Jayden Bogle

Lauren Townley has been spotted alongside Jayden Bogle on several occasions, with Jayden sharing glimpses of the relationship on his own Instagram. Most recently, the couple showed up on the final day of the season for Leeds United as a family.

The couple keep most other details private; however, their public appearances together have caught the attention of Leeds fans following his move from Sheffield United.

Matilda Olsson, partner of Gabriel Gudmundsson

Matilda Olsson has been with Gabriel Gudmundsson for around a decade, the pair having built their relationship since their teenage years in Sweden. She is also a footballer herself, having played for her hometown club, Halmstad.

In February 2026, the couple announced they were expecting a baby, sharing the happy news together on Instagram. Their son, Charlie, arrived during the World Cup; meanwhile, Matilda posted an emotional message about missing Gabriel while cheering him on for Sweden.

The family have since settled into life together following his move to Leeds from Lille.

Demi Ramos, girlfriend of Joe Rodon

Demi Ramos has supported Joe Rodon through his rise from Swansea City’s academy to becoming a regular in Wales’s back line and now at Leeds.

Ria Hughes, fiancee of Daniel James

Ria Hughes has been with Daniel James since their days together in Swansea, and the couple have built a family together, including their son Layke. Daniel proposed to Ria on a romantic trip to Mykonos, capping off a standout season with the happy news.

Ria works as a sports instructor, and she’s followed Daniel’s career closely through Swansea, Manchester United, and now Leeds, remaining one of the more visible partners in the squad, particularly during Wales’s international fixtures.

Naomi Pattiwael, girlfriend of Joel Piroe

Naomi Pattiwael has supported Joel Piroe through his rise from PSV’s academy to becoming a prolific goalscorer, first at Swansea and now at Leeds.

The pair finally married on Long Beach Island, New Jersey, in May 2026, just days before Brenden reported for USMNT World Cup duty.

Abby Claybrook has supported Harry Wilson through promotions and relegations across his career, including his title-winning celebrations with Fulham and now his move to Leeds. The couple have built a long-standing relationship together, with Abby a regular, supportive presence at his biggest matches for club and country with Wales.
