As Scotland prepares for a long-awaited return to the World Cup, attention is not only on the players who will carry the nation’s hopes in America, but also on the wives and girlfriends supporting them every step of the way. Among the most talked about couples are Scotland midfielder Scott McTominay and his long-term girlfriend Cameron, known as Cam Reading, whose relationship has flourished alongside the most exciting period of his football career.
McTominay's Rise to Stardom
McTominay has become one of Scotland’s most influential players, earning widespread praise from fans for his performances both for club and country. Yet away from the spotlight of packed stadiums and tournaments, it is his relationship with model and influencer Cam Reading that has also captured the public's attention. The couple are believed to have first met in 2020, with rumours of a romance beginning to circulate early that year. By 2022, they were understood to be officially dating, although they initially kept their relationship relatively private. It wasn’t long before Cam became a familiar face in the stands at Old Trafford, regularly supporting him when he played for Manchester United. The pair started sharing glimpses of their life together on social media, from luxury holidays in Dubai, Mykonos and the Maldives to nights out in Manchester.
Cam Reading's Successful Career
Away from her relationship, Cam has built a successful career of her own as a model and influencer. Managed by Boss Model Management, the English fashion figure has gained nearly 90,000 followers on social media following her work across Instagram and the fashion industry. Alongside her modelling career, Cam used to help run the wealth management firm Fortress Capital Partners with her father, Ashley Reading, before the company fell into administration in September 2023.
Embracing Life in Italy
Their relationship entered a new chapter in 2024 when McTominay completed a £25.7 million move from Manchester United to the Italian team SSC Napoli. For many WAGs starting over would have been a challenge, but Cam embraced life in Naples quickly and won over the supporters in one of football's most passionate cities. She is often spotted celebrating victories online or joining McTominay on the pitch during title celebrations, as well as wearing Napoli's colours with pride, which has led to the fans dubbing her the 'Queen of Italy'. Meanwhile, McTominay has made his own impact on supporters, with them referring to him as 'McFratm', which translates to "my brother" or "bro". Together the pair have become one of football's most popular couples, winning the hearts of Napoli supporters.
World Cup Bound
As Scotland head to the World Cup, all eyes will be on the pair both on and off the pitch. Their journey from private beginnings to international fame has captivated fans, and they are set to be a key part of Scotland's World Cup story.
