Fulham WAGs: Meet the women behind the Cottagers ahead of 2026/27 Premier League season
Last Updated on 19 August 2026
Fulham head into the new season under new head coach Alvaro Arbeloa, who arrives at Craven Cottage following his spell in charge of Real Madrid.
Off the pitch, the Cottagers squad leans on partners who mostly keep life well guarded.
Here’s a closer look at the WAGs behind Fulham’s squad this season.
Carlota Ruiz, wife of head coach Alvaro Arbeloa
Carlota Ruiz met Arbeloa as teenagers, back when he was still coming through Real Zaragoza’s academy. The couple married in 2009, and have remained together ever since, raising four children.
Carlota has stood by Alvaro through his entire footballing and coaching journey, from World Cup and European Championship glory as a player to his recent stint as Real Madrid’s head coach.
The family remain close friends with Xabi Alonso and his wife, a bond dating back to Alvaro’s playing days alongside him at the Bernabeu. Now, Carlota begins a new chapter in England as Alvaro takes charge at Craven Cottage.
Sophie Christin, wife of Bernd Leno
Sophie Christin married Bernd Leno back in 2020, following several years together as a couple. She has largely stayed out of the spotlight throughout his career, first during his time at Arsenal and now as Fulham’s long-serving goalkeeper.
Sophie keeps her life away from football media, rarely appearing in interviews or public settings. Even so, she continues to be a steady, private presence supporting Bernd as he heads into another season marshalling Fulham’s defence at Craven Cottage.
Cecilie Porsdal, girlfriend of Joachim Andersen
Cecilie Porsdal has been with Joachim Andersen since 2015, when the pair started dating as teenagers in Denmark. She built her following as a social media influencer, and followed Joachim’s closely, first to Italy at Sampdoria, then to France with Lyon, and now to England.
The couple keep many of the finer details of their relationship private, though Cecilie remains one of the more visible partners among Fulham’s squad, regularly showing her support both at Craven Cottage and for Denmark.
Camille Melon, partner of Timothy Castagne
Camille Melon has been with Timothy Castagne for several years, though she’s kept nearly all details of their relationship out of the public eye.
The pair have remained inseparable since she moved in with him, growing more settled together over time even as Timothy’s career has taken him across England. Camille prefers to avoid the spotlight, letting Timothy’s performances on the pitch speak for the couple instead.
Darcy Myers, fiancee of Antonee Robinson
Darcy Myers has been with Antonee Robinson since 2019, and the couple got engaged in March 2022, when he proposed on her birthday with light-up letters spelling out “Marry me?” surrounded by rose petals.
They share two daughters together, Atlas and Ocean, and Darcy has become known for following Antonee across the globe to support him, from Fulham’s promotion celebrations to the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
She keeps a fairly private profile online, sharing only occasional glimpses of their family life, though she remains one of the most devoted supporters in Fulham’s squad, cheering him on through his continued rise with the USMNT.
Lorna Oxley, partner of Harrison Reed
Harrison Reed has kept his relationship with Lorna Oxley almost entirely private, having posted about her rarely.
Beyond that rare glimpse, little else is publicly known about the couple, with Harrison preferring to keep his personal life well away from football media as he continues his career at Fulham.
Abbie Cairney, wife of Tom Cairney
Abbie Cairney, formerly Abbie Richards, married Tom Cairney in the summer of 2023, having been together as a couple for years beforehand. The pair share two children, Aubrey and Brodie, and their wedding drew a host of footballing guests, including Ryan Sessegnon.
Abbie has worked as a model, and she’s remained a steady presence throughout Tom’s long career at Fulham, supporting him through promotions, relegations, and his rise to club captain.
Julie Karlsen, girlfriend of Sander Berge
Julie Karlsen has been with Sander Berge for several years, and the couple are known for their frequent travels together, from Ibiza to Dubai.
The pair have kept many details of their relationship private, though they welcomed a son together, adding a new chapter to their long-standing romance. Julie continues to support Sander closely as he settles into life at Fulham following his various moves in England.
Carla Reynes Garcia-Galan, girlfriend of Gonzalo Garcia
Carla Reynes Garcia-Galan has been in a relationship with Gonzalo Garcia, following him from Real Madrid to Fulham this summer alongside new head coach Alvaro Arbeloa.
The couple keep their relationship fairly private, with only occasional glimpses shared by fan accounts rather than the pair themselves. As Gonzalo looks to establish himself in the Premier League, Carla continues to be a quiet source of support.
Jady Meyrelles, girlfriend of Rodrigo Muniz
Jady Meyrelles has been living with Rodrigo Muniz in London for some time, supporting him through his rise from Flamengo’s academy to becoming a regular goalscorer for Fulham.
The couple keep much of their relationship out of the spotlight, though Rodrigo has referenced her affectionately on his own social media. Jady continues to be a steady presence as Rodrigo builds his career in the Premier League.
Livia Rafaelle, girlfriend of Kevin
Livia Rafaelle has been in a relationship with Fulham winger Kevin, and the couple have shared glimpses of their romance on social media, including an emotional moment when Lívia watched him play.
The Brazilian pair keep many of the details of their relationship private, though their story has generated plenty of interest back home in Brazil as Kevin settles into life at Craven Cottage.
Ellie Mae, girlfriend of Alex Iwobi
Ellie Mae is a British model and influencer who co-owns a digital marketing firm called ZOir, based in Cheshire. She and Alex Iwobi are believed to have started dating shortly after his move to Everton, and the relationship has continued through his switch to Fulham.
Alex has spoken about how their romance has meant plenty of travel across continents, though the pair keep most other details private, with Ellie’s identity only confirmed by Alex when she gives her blessing to share it.
