England continue their World Cup campaign against Ghana on Tuesday, and the players will have the support of their families in the stands. The team's opening win against Croatia was one of the best games of the tournament, and many squad members' partners were there to cheer them on.
England's Thrilling Start Against Croatia
Many England supporters expected a cagey start against Croatia, given their World Cup elimination eight years ago. However, the match was a thriller: Harry Kane scored from the penalty spot, Croatia equalized, Kane scored again, Croatia leveled before halftime, and second-half goals from Jude Bellingham and Marcus Rashford secured a 4-2 win.
Ghana Match Preview
Ghana also started their World Cup campaign with a 1-0 victory over Panama, so both teams are in good spirits ahead of the Tuesday evening clash in Boston, kicking off at 9pm UK time. Here is a rundown of some of the WAGs in the England camp this year.
Megan Pickford
Childhood sweetheart of England's number 1 Jordan Pickford, Megan met Jordan at St Robert of Newminster Catholic School in Washington. They married in a low-key ceremony at a Crewe registry office, with plans for a luxury overseas wedding thwarted by Covid. They finally celebrated their dream nuptials in the Maldives in 2022. The couple have three children: Arlo, Ostara, and Misty. Megan's 2026 World Cup started poorly when her luggage went missing, but she still looked the part for the Croatia game in a vest, borrowed jeans, and a cowboy hat.
Tolami Benson
Tolami always makes a statement with her match day looks, sporting customized England strips and jackets at the 2024 Euros. The PR executive is believed to have started dating Bukayo Saka in 2020, and they got engaged at the end of last year. She was by his side for the New York premiere of his documentary Bukayo Saka: The Time Is Now earlier this month.
Kate Kane
Kate celebrated as her husband Harry went level with Gary Lineker for the most World Cup goals scored for England. She has been with the England captain since they were teenagers. A throwback photo of the young couple meeting David Beckham in the 2000s has resurfaced. Kate and Harry married in 2019 and have three children: Ivy, Vivienne, and Louis.
Ashlyn Castro
American-born Ashlyn, 28, is the girlfriend of Jude Bellingham. She has 675,000 followers on Instagram and works as a model, social media influencer, and digital content creator. Her relationship with Jude has made her one of the most talked-about WAGs at this year's World Cup.
Lauren Fryer
Lauren has been with Arsenal's Declan Rice since 2015. The couple met as teenagers at school and have been together for eight years. Their son Jude was born in 2022. Declan often shares photos of them together and has defended Lauren from online trolls.
Ellie Watkins
Ellie has been with Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins since 2018. They married in October 2025. She was seen at the Croatia game clutching a huge frozen margarita and wearing England's new red away top, styled chicly. In 2024, she shared a photo of Ollie with their children, captioning it: "Bye daddy, good luck. We love you so much."
Annie Keating
Annie was by Anthony Gordon's side when he moved from Everton to Newcastle in 2023. She keeps a low profile on social media but is thought to be in the USA supporting him. The couple celebrated the birth of their first child, a son, shortly after his move to Newcastle. Annie now looks set to move to Spain after Anthony's big-money transfer to Barcelona.
Olivia Stones
Wife of defender John Stones, Olivia ran a successful beauty business in Manchester. They married in a stunning Ibiza ceremony last year. Olivia is one of England's most prominent WAGs at the World Cup, having been ever present at the Etihad during John's time at Man City. He left City at the end of last season, with Olivia sharing a photo of them with Bernardo Silva and his partner at a farewell party.
Olivia Kate Parvia
Girlfriend of Nottingham Forest and England midfielder Elliot Anderson. It is not known exactly when lawyer Olivia and ex-Newcastle player Elliot got together, but she was seen with him on the pitch at Forest's City Ground at the end of last season.
Mia McClenaghan
The law graduate has been dating England right back since 2020, though they largely keep their relationship out of the spotlight.
