The world of football is a competitive place, full of both physical and mental pressure. But there is an upside for these players, besides getting a juicy paycheck—some footballers get to share their lives with the most beautiful and talented women alive today.
In the 2006 FIFA World Cup, when the English team showed up, the UK tabloids had no choice but to coin the term “WAG.” Constantly writing “Wives and Girlfriends” was too long—plus there was too much to write about, as they were stealing the show!
These beauties deserve no less, so read on to get to know them!
Georgina Rodriguez
“CR7” is the pride and joy of the Portuguese national team, as well as Manchester United. Even though Ronaldo’s love life used to constantly appear in tabloids thanks to his rocky dating history, he seems to finally have settled down with none other than Georgina Rodriguez. She’s an influencer and model with a net worth of 10 million.
Georgina is the mother of two of Ronaldo’s children. His first three were born from a surrogate mother, and unfortunately, they lost one child at birth. It seems like the football player is breeding a team of his own.
Amine Gülşe Özil
Mesut Özil got lucky when he started dating Amine Gülşe in 2017. The world-renowned midfielder found a likely match with the Swedish-born actress, model, and former Miss Turkey. Amine was a competitor in 2014’s Miss World, the same year her husband played in the FIFA World Cup.
Unlike his relationship with Arsenal FC, he has only thrived with Amine and the couple got married in 2019. In 2020 the couple had a daughter, who they named Eda, and in September 2022 they welcomed their second child, Ela.
Coral Simanovich
Sergi Roberto has become popular not only as a prime player for Barcelona FC but also in the fashion world. This is not only due to his looks but thanks to his charming wife Coral. She graduated from Shenkar College of Engineering and Design in 2016 but was already rising in fame due to her relationship with Sergi in 2014.
Coral Simanovich is one of the most recognizable figures in Israel and even started modeling when she was still serving in the army and is now probably best known for her love of bikinis. Coral and Sergi have been married for four years and in 2019 they welcomed their baby girl, Kaia.
Ann-Kathrin Brömmel
Ann-Kathrin Brömmel is a notorious singer, model, and reality TV star, as well as the wife of Eintracht Frankfurt’s playmaker, Mario Götze. The couple celebrated their dream wedding in Mallorca, where they spent most of their vacation away from the cameras or pitch.
Ann-Kathryn has over one million followers on Instagram and YouTube, where she shares her lifestyle and beauty routines. She also took part in a campaign against wearing fur for PETA. In 2020, they welcomed their son into the world, who they named Rome Götze.
Victoria Beckham
If not THE most famous wife on this list, Victoria Beckham holds a dear space in the hearts of all those fans of the super iconic girl band—the Spice Girls. Our Posh Spice would settle for no less than the Man U and LA Galaxy’s superstar David Beckham.
The power couple met in 1997 and married in a lush wedding two years later that reportedly cost £750k and was “Robin Hood” themed. Four kids and twenty years later, Posh and Beck’s love still holds strong.
Izabel Kovačić
Entrepreneur and model Izabel Andrijanic married Chelsea FC midfielder Mateo Kovačić in 2017. Together they’ve built a loving family. The footballer known by Italian sports journalists as Il Professore now has a beautiful family with his love-at-first-sight wife, whom she met at church when they were teenagers.
She not only has style but also brains, with a degree in economics from Zagreb University. She struck out into the field of organic, eco-friendly baby products, creating the brand “Lumilou,” as well as attending every match wherever in the world her husband plays.
Nif Brascia
At only 22 years old, Moise Kean is the third-youngest goal scorer for the Italian National team—but that isn’t his biggest achievement—he also scored when he met Nif Brascia. They keep their love life private, even with over 5 million Instagram followers on their trail.
She’s not only a beautiful woman—but she’s also a kickboxing champion, with two junior world titles in Muay Thai and over 50 unbeaten fights. Expect to see this couple thrive in their respective professional sports. With their youth and tenacity, they show boundless support for each other in the stands.
Daniela Machado
You won’t find Daniela Machado’s name in the headlines—unlike most WAGs, she prefers to live a private, family-driven life. Portuguese professional João Cancelo proposed to Daniela last year in a romantic beach setting in the Maldives.
Daniela has been seen supporting her lover ever since he was playing for Inter Milan. Now that he is making it big in Manchester City, he is likely to keep proving himself to be the rising talent he is in the field.
Maria Sanchez
Real Madrid’s number 19 is a good-looking fellow, so it’s reasonable to expect that his significant other would be on par with him. Maria Sanchez, teacher and model has been with the talented player since 2017.
Maria is a supportive girlfriend, and although they haven’t tied the knot yet, it's only a matter of time until we get some news. The couple is very private and unlike many other WAGs on this list, she doesn’t have a strong social media presence.
Lisa Gonçalves
Lisa Gonçalves is a professional dentist based in Barcelona, as well as a globetrotter. She has been with Andre Gomes, the central midfielder for Everton FC, since 2017 and has supported him throughout his career in all the ups and downs.
She isn’t a very public figure and you won’t see her bikini pictures, but she’s definitely her partner’s biggest fan. They usually share intimate moments with their fans, such as Christmas pictures—and of course—the VIP experience she gets when supporting her darling.
Leah Monroe
Tammy Abraham does more than strike for Roma FC—he is also in a committed relationship with renowned influencer Leah Monroe, who rose to fame through her YouTube luxury lifestyle vlogs. She often shares with her 120k Instagram followers beauty tips, fashion content, and her constant support for Abraham. She doesn’t miss a single game!
She rose to fame after sharing her experience with a plastic surgeon when getting lip fillers, after which she was very happy with the result. If Leah loves anything more than Louis Vuitton bags, it definitely must be the attention of being a well-known WAG.
Jasmin Buckle
Jasmin Buckle has a taste for Fendi and football, and thanks to her boyfriend Matt Target, she has the best a WAG can hope for. The couple is very much in love, as you can tell from Matt’s constant posts on Instagram. The most recent is titled “It’s a forever thing,” followed by a picture of Matt kneeling while Jasmin gives her yes.
When Jasmin isn’t on a luxurious paradise holiday, she sells her unwanted clothes on the popular app Depop. Ranging from Asos to Michael Kors, there is quite a selection. Even some of Matt’s old designer sweaters have been found on the site for quite a steep price.
Katrine Fogt Friis
Scandinavian-style vanguard Katrin Fogt Friis is a jet-setter and the ultimate cheerleader for her boyfriend Andreas Christensen, also known as the “Humble Dane”. She loves shopping at Harrods and sharing her buys on social media—especially her bikinis.
The aesthetic fashionista recently posted a picture showing off her baby bump, so it seems the family is getting bigger. Luckily the father has just signed with Barcelona FC, and the couple seems to be settling down very well in Spain.
Larissa Pereira
Roberto Firmino has scored at least 100 goals for Liverpool FC, but the most important one he made in 2014 when he met Larissa Pereira, a Brazilian model and founder of her own fashion brand. We wonder if his famous smile had to do with scoring this beautiful wife.
The couple married in a lavish ceremony in 2017, where some of the guests included teammates Allan Souza, Lucas Leiva, and Alberto Moreno. The young family now has three daughters together called Valentina, Bella, and Liz. They're all living a happy life in Liverpool.
Taylor Ward
Taylor Ward was born with football in her DNA, being the daughter of Ashley Ward, who notoriously came through from the Manchester United Academy and played in clubs such as Norwich City, Barnsley, and Sheffield United. Taylor is now married to Manchester United’s Riyad; she probably has more knowledge about the game than any average fan.
Taylor is an influencer and has made a few appearances on The Real Housewives Of Cheshire, thanks to her cast member mother. We wonder when her hubby will make his reality TV debut with the in-laws! They recently welcomed their first child.
Leonita Lekaj
Leonita Lekaj is a German model who is married to Arsenal’s own Granit Xkaha. The couple met when he was playing for the German team Borussia Monchengladbach and now have a supportive, loving marriage. She shares her support on social media whenever there’s a big game, and isn't afraid of wearing the jersey—obviously with matching red nails.
The controversial player has made his personality known in the field, but outside, he only has eyes for his wife and is a loving father to his two daughters. Leonita is a model and influencer with over 185k followers.
Perrie Edwards
Perrie Edwards gained fame through her own merit, being the winner of the TV contest X-Factor and a member of Little Mix. She gained WAG status through marriage to Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain. She has recently struck out into the world of entrepreneurship—she's the face of her own fashion brand “Disora”
The couple recently announced through Instagram the birth of their first son, named Axel, who will surely inherit the couple’s good looks. Now we wonder if he will be inclined towards the world of football, or music.
Sophie Leno
Bernd Leno is a champ—he’s proven to be a great goalkeeper for both Fulham FC and the Germany National team. But he also hit the jackpot by marrying Sophie Leno, she calls herself “the proudest wife”.
Sophie is constantly posting supportive messages on social media—it’s obvious that she is her husband's biggest fan—as well as pictures of the luxurious lifestyle that comes with being the partner of a world-renown football star. She has rocketed a hefty 80 thousand followers on Instagram since opening her account.
Monique Salum
Man U’s star Fred Rodrigues knows he is a great asset to the team, and in his love life, he’s just as lucky, being married to Monique Salum, a chemical engineer. We can all agree she’s got the looks and the brains! They met in 2016, when he was playing for the Ukrainian club, Shakhtar Donetsk, and have been together since.
The couple now has a child that is already playing football at the tender age of three! They have grown as a family, developing their amazing careers side by side. Now Monique works at the Centre for the Development of Nuclear Technology in England.
Gabrielle Figueiredo
Gabrielle Figueiredo is a young and rising star in the fashion and modeling industry and isn’t shy to show off on social media. The Brazilian, native to Rio de Janeiro, is also the proud girlfriend of Arsenal’s Gabriel Magalhaes.
The couple has been together for a few years now and recently welcomed their first daughter, Maya Magalhaes. It wasn’t long until the newborn was seen sporting her own tiny Arsenal Jersey with her dad’s number and cheering at the stadium, of course, in the arms of her fabulous soccer momma, Gabrielle.
Maja Nilsson Lindelof
Maja Nilsson Lindelof has it all. She’s a blogger for Elle magazine, founder of Lis Bonne Atelier, makeup ambassador for various brands, and of course, wife of Manchester United’s defender—the incomparable Victor Lindelof. The couple has been together since 2013 and got married in 2018.
Recently, she became the mother of another sweet baby boy. The family of four likes to share their lush lifestyle, as well as the more tender and lighthearted moments, on various social media platforms. They recently shared the traumatic experience of having thieves break into their home in Manchester—a horrible event where luckily nobody was harmed.
Antonella Roccuzzo
Lionel Messi might be amongst the world’s most famous football stars alive, and it is no coincidence that his wife Antonella has been there with him from the beginning. The Argentinian couple got married in 2017, but had been dating since 2008 and were childhood friends.
Antonela might be better known as Messi’s wife but she’s thrived in the fashion and beauty industry, as well as managing the Leo Messi Foundation alongside other family members. They now have three sons: Thiago, Mateo, and the youngest, Ciro.
Pilar Rubio
Pilar Rubio isn't only the gorgeous wife of the legendary Sergio Ramos, she has built a career of her own on Spanish television as a reporter and actress. This beauty was the protagonist of the TV series Piratas and is a contributor to the show El Hormiguero.
The charismatic Pilar started dating Sergio in 2012, but it wasn’t until the 2013 FIFA Ballon d’Or awards that they made their relationship public. They got married in 2019 in Sevilla, Ramos’ hometown. They now have four sons and are settling well in Paris, where Ramos recently started playing for Paris St Germain.
Edurne Garcia
Manchester United’s David De Gea isn’t only lucky in the goal—being one of the best goalkeepers in the world—he’s also a Eurovision winner because he was lucky to catch singer, actress, and television Edurne Garcia, a super beauty that would settle for nothing less.
The Spanish couple lives in Manchester in a 2.5 million pound mansion where the goalie can easily commute to his esteemed workplace, Old Trafford. In March 2021 Edurne gave birth to their first child, Yanay De Gea.
Sabrina Eriksen
Christian Eriksen has become one of the most reliable team players Man U has. He’s a team player and leader with outstanding technique. He has also had some dark moments in his career. If it wasn’t for his loving wife Sabrina, he probably wouldn’t be where he is now.
The supportive couple is now based in London, although both are native to Denmark. They bought their home back when Eriksen was playing for Tottenham. They are raising their son and daughter in a quiet environment, away from the attention of the press.
Mia McClenaghan
The price of glory can be sweet—or so it has been for English professional Reece James, who not only had the chance to show off during the Euro 2020 and Champions League but also has found love in the gorgeous Mia McClenaghan.
Mia McClenaghan just finished her degree in law at Royal Holloway, University of London, and is currently restructuring coordinator at Kirkland & Ellis, proving she’s got the looks and the brains to match.
Lucia Bramani
Given that Lucia Bramani is a psychologist, model, and overall beauty queen who charms all with her refined and elegant style, she would naturally keep the bar high. Since 2021, Lucia has been dating Federico Chiesa, the Juventus superstar, and one of Euro 2020’s most notable players.
With over 99k followers on Instagram, the Italian posts a lot of pictures of her travels, and of course, her beau. Chiesa is an heir in the football industry, whose career path was traced before he was born to notable player Enrico Chiesa.
Katie Goodland
One of the world’s greatest strikers, Harry Kane, met his wife Katie Goodland when he was a youngster. The Londoners were allegedly elementary school friends, who probably never imagined they would end up getting married and thrust into the spotlight in the world of sports.
The couple had a fairly long relationship before finally marrying in 2019. They now have three beautiful children—Vivienne, Ivy, and Louis—that are always cheering for their dad at his important games. It’s clear that Harry’s family are his biggest fans.
Jessica Melena
Jessica Melena left her career at Universita L’Aquila to be with S.S. Lazio’s Ciro Immobile. She then pursued a career in modeling, marketing, and, of course being a sports fan. The couple is very much in love, they even have a joint Instagram account where they post all of their romantic moments.
In 2014, they got married in Jessica’s Italian hometown at a wonderful ceremony surrounded by family, friends and of course, Ciro’s then-teammates. The couple has recently welcomed their fourth child, a sweet baby girl who they named Andrea.
Paige Milian
Raheem Sterling has proved to all of his critics that he is a worthy player, as demonstrated by his performances for Manchester United. Now, with that behind him with a new opportunity at Chelsea, the winger, and attacking midfielder has everything to gain.
None of this would be possible without a great support net—and that is exactly who Paige Millan has been since 2012. Although they only recently got engaged, the couple has four children. Paige currently works in property development as well as being an influencer.
Jessica Aidi
On the field, Marco Verratti is a fast and creative player. Off the field, his luck is off the charts, having met Jessica Aidi—he’s one of the luckiest men on earth. Jessica works for high-profile brands and is managed by the world-famous agency Next Models. From Dolce Gabanna to Dior, she’s always in style.
After Verrati’s very public divorce from Laura Zazzara, he immediately began dating the supermodel, who he married in a lavish ceremony in 2021, which was full of celebrities from the fashion and sports world. The stunning couple loves to vacation on remote beaches when they get time off their busy schedules.
Fern Hawkins
Harry Maguire is well renowned in the world of English football. Currently, a defender for Manchester United, the Sheffield-born player has more than just an affair with the ball. He met Fern Hawkins almost 11 years ago and has been in love ever since.
He finally got married to his long-term girlfriend Fern Hawkins, in a very wonderful ceremony at the Chateau de Varennes in South Burgundy, France, where they were accompanied by friends, family, and of course their two young daughters.
Martina Maccari
Bonucci’s skill has earned him a special place in people's hearts, as well as on FIFA 23, with two special skills. But nothing comes close to the affection that his greatest cheerleader, Martina Maccari, has for him. The couple has been married for over ten years.
Leonardo has played for the Italian national team for quite a long time, in his lengthy career he has seen lots of ups and downs—but beside him has always been Martina, ever ready to give him the support he needs. The couple met in 2008, thanks to a mutual friend, and have been inseparable ever since.
Megan Davison
Jordan Pickford has received a lot of criticism throughout his career, but in his personal life, he isn’t doing so badly. The talented goalkeeper for Everton caught a good one. Megan Davison is a Sunderland University graduate that moved to Liverpool when Pickford was transferred to Everton.
Allegedly, they started dating when they were just 14, but they only got married in 2020. They welcomed their baby boy Arlo George in 2019 and are known for posting a lot of cute family pictures on social media, to the adoration of their thousands of followers.
Natalia Barulich
Neymar is no stranger to being on the cover of tabloids. He is one of the best-known names in football, and even in pop culture. He has cemented his reputation due to his goal-scoring talent and explosive personality. Naturally, his love life is always in the spotlight.
After breaking up with gorgeous models Natalia Barulich and Bruna Marquezine, he recently was seen with a new girlfriend—Bruna Bianchardi. Their relationship went public in December 2021, although they don’t discuss it much. They sometimes post pictures together on social media—and Brazilian paparazzi are quick to take snaps whenever they’re caught in one of their lush romantic getaways.
Oriana Sabatini
La Joya is Spanish for “The Jewel,” which isn’t just Paulo Dybala’s nickname, but also the description of his current girlfriend, Oriana Sabatini. The Argentinian model, actress, and singer met the impressive player at an Ariana Grande concert, where she enchanted him with her talent and beauty.
The couple started dating in 2017 and have been very serious ever since. Oriana’s career has also been on the rise and she has released a new album under the name SOLA. We can’t wait to hear more about this lovely couple.
Sophia Weber
Kai Havertz is a young and rising star at Chelsea FC. He has been learning well from his older colleagues—maybe too well—as he has taken to dating a gorgeous model and influencer. Sophia Weber gets along famously with other WAGs and is sure to let the world know, posting pictures at the pitch and holding the Champions Cup with her partner.
Rumor has it that Sophia is the first serious relationship Havertz has ever had, and at his young age, it is of no surprise. In any case, he’s giving it his all. Having a very undramatic affair, we wish this couple the best in the future!
Candice Brook
Candice Brook—she’s a model, singer, and regular on the reality series “About The Business.” She’s been in a relationship with Leroy Sane since 2017. The two live together in Germany, where Sane plays as a winger for Bayern Munich.
The New Yorker beauty has two kids—a girl, Rio Stella, and a boy, Tobias, from a previous relationship. They are a happy and stable family, with all the perks the celebrity life has given them, of course.
Annekee Molenaar
Annekee Molenaar is a catch—she doesn’t only come from football royalty, she’s also a model and, naturally, an influencer. We wonder what her football legend dad, Keje Molenaar, thought when she introduced him to Matthijs de Ligt, the center-back star playing for Bayern Munich.
The young couple is playing in the big league, having recently bought an apartment worth 1.2 million euros, and seem to be enjoying the fruits of their successful careers. The model is very fond of sharing pictures of her amazing life with her 453k followers.
Shakira
We know, we know—we’re still not over this one, and of course, we’re aware of Pique’s new love interest—but Shakira will keep her title as honorary WAG even if she’s single. Maybe she has a thing for football players?
In one of the biggest divorce scandals of all time, this one tops the list of football breakup dramas. From gossip to tabloids, to lawsuits, this couple had it messy. The couple met way back during the making of the music video for Waka Waka, the official song of the 2010 World Cup. Now that it’s over, we wish this separated pair a happy life.
