Spain WAGs at the World Cup 2026: Meet the women behind La Roja

Spain arrive to the World Cup as reigning European champions and among the favourites to lift the trophy. But while Lamine Yamal’s trickery and their midfield mastery will dominate back pages, the WAGs are never far from the spotlight.

From a Chelsea defender’s partner who opened up about her son’s autism diagnosis, to a mother who married her goalkeeper husband and welcomed a baby all in the space of twelve months.

While their biggest superstar, Lamine Yamal, reels on from the loss of Nicki Nicole, the rest of the camp is staying busy. These are the most talked-about WAGs set to follow La Roja in the World Cup 2026.

Claudia Rodriguez: The heart of the Spanish WAGs and Marc Cucurella

If there is one woman who has come to define what it means to be a modern football partner, it is Claudia Rodriguez. The long-term girlfriend of Chelsea left-back Marc Cucurella, Claudia is a communications professional, entrepreneur and a mother of three.

Born in Spain but long based in London after following Cucurella to England, she made headlines beyond football when she bravely opened up about their eldest son Mateo’s autism diagnosis on the Amazon Prime series Married to the Game.

She has never been content to simply stand in the background. Her candour and warmth in that moment made her one of the most admired women in the entire WAG world and her 150,000-strong Instagram following reflects just how many people are rooting for her.

Laura Iglesias: Rodri’s quietly devoted partner

Winning the Ballon d’Or tends to put every corner of your life under a microscope. Rodri accepted that burden with his usual composure, and his girlfriend Laura Iglesias has done the same, navigating the intense attention that comes with being the partner of the world’s best footballer with almost total privacy intact. She’s among the Manchester City WAGs, already.

The couple have been together since 2018, and while Laura maintains a low social media profile and gives almost no interviews, she has been a consistent presence at Rodri’s biggest moments, from finals to that Ballon d’Or ceremony in Paris. In a culture that rewards self-promotion, her instinct to protect their relationship is quietly unusual and admirable.

Alejandra Dorta: Pedri’s Brand New Love

If there is a fresh romance to watch at this World Cup, it is this one. Pedri and Alejandra Dorta only went public in December 2025, when the Barcelona midfielder was spotted alongside her at the Premier Padel finals in his home city. It was a first public appearance together that sent Spanish football social media alight.

Now based in Madrid, Alejandra keeps a private Instagram account and has no desire to court the spotlight. But with Pedri expected to be one of the players of the tournament, the attention will find her whether she seeks it or not. Their story is only six months old. By the time the World Cup final is played, it could be the most talked-about new romances in sport.

Tatiana Trouboul: David Raya’s new wife and newest mum

The months between the Euros and this World Cup have been quite something for Arsenal goalkeeper David Raya’s partner. Tatiana Trouboul, a French-Catalan model who has been with Raya since 2021, married him in a private ceremony in Spain in July 2025.

Then, they honeymooned on safari in Tanzania, and welcomed their first child, a son named Rio, in early 2026. She marked Raya’s first call-up after becoming a father with a heartfelt Instagram post featuring baby Rio with the caption “We miss you, Daddy”, an image that won her an army of new admirers among Arsenal and Spain supporters alike.

Maria Hurtado: Pedro Porro’s partner and a new mum herself

The Tottenham right-back and his partner welcomed their son, named Pedro after his father, and already nicknamed “MiniPedro” by the couple online, on 1 September 2025, and both have been openly, unashamedly besotted ever since.

Maria, who also has a daughter from a previous relationship, has built a relatable social media presence endearing her to fans long before any World Cup attention arrives. Porro himself has spoken about how fatherhood has grounded him, and watching Maria navigate demands of a blended family makes for one of the most heartwarming stories in the entire La Roja camp.
