WAGs (and babies) assemble! Annie Kilner, Tolami Benson and Georgina Irwin file into Arena AufSchalke in Dusseldorf ahead of England v Slovakia - with some VERY special spectators in tow

  • England WAGs have arrived to support their partners in crucial Euro 2024 game  

Annie Kilner and Georgina Irwin were among the first WAGs to arrive at the Arena AufSchalke in Dusseldorf this afternoon as England is set to take on Slovakia in a last-16 knockout match.

The wives of Kyle Walker and Aaron Ramsdale were ever the 'yummy mummies' as they filed into the stadium with their babies in carriers as the infants get a taste for the 'beautiful game'.

Model Georgina and Aaron welcomed Ronnie Ramsdale into the world last November, while Annie and Kyle welcomed their fourth child Rezon just two months ago.

As the mothers arrived at the stadium ahead of the Three Lions' clash with Slovakia, they were joined by England's WAG of the tournament who has been turning heads among fans despite the lacklustre performances.

Tolami Benson, the 23-year-old girlfriend of Bukayo Saka, has been dubbed a 'low-key' WAG who doesn't even follow her boyfriend on social media - but since the tournament began the glamorous PR executive has stolen the show among fans.

Benson has been dating the Arsenal star - seen as crucial to England's success at this summer's tournament - for nearly four years, but the pair are very rarely seen together. 

At England's opening game againse Serbia, glamorous Benson, who once worked on the shop floor at Harrods has a degree from Birmingham City University, firmly went against WAG tradition and didn't wear an England shirt to support her man.

The 23-year-old, who started a new job in May as a Senior Planning Executive for Zenith, instead opted for a more cryptic nod to her superstar footballing beau - donning a custom-made leather biker jacket emblazoned with '87'. 

This was Saka's jersey number for his 2018/2019 breakthrough season in the Arsenal squad. 

However, as she was pictured arriving at the crucial match this evening, Benson broke her cool-as-a-cucumber streak and donned a shirt emblazoned with Saka's number seven - in a loud and proud supporting act towards her partner.

Across Benson's social media accounts, while there are plenty of references to Arsenal, including friendships with fellow Premier League WAGS including Ben White's wife Milly and Leandro Trossard's wife Laura, there's no sign of the 22-year-old winger.

Over on Threads, Benson shares more down-to-earth images - including of her train platform view during her morning commute into central London.

For Annie Kilner, her show of support for Kyle Walker is perhaps the most significant of all the WAGs, after the 32-year-old model had had a difficult few months. 

She discovered in December last year, when she was pregnant with her and Kyle's fourth child, that her sportsman husband had fathered a second child with Lauryn Goodman with Walker moving out of their home a few weeks later in January.

Instagram influencer Lauryn is the mother to Kyle's son Kairo, four, and daughter, who is known to family and friends as KK and is ten months old.

Lauryn became pregnant with Kairo when Kyle was on a break from childhood sweetheart Annie in 2019 but he was taken back, and they got married in 2021.

MailOnline previously revealed that Annie decided not to fly as part of the official WAGs group to the Euros.

She has instead hired a private jet, which she is using to fly in and out for each of England's games in Germany with the four children she shares with Kyle.

The jet will cost Annie around £35,000 for each return journey and she is also planning to take a friend with her to help deal with the youngsters - baby Rezon and sons Roman, 11, Riaan, seven, and Reign, five.

A source told the Mail: 'Things have got really bad between Annie and Kyle, and she is only going to the Euros for the sake of the children. If there weren't kids involved, she wouldn't be going at all.

'She doesn't want to be part of the WAGs group because she doesn't feel she's in a proper relationship with Kyle and doesn't want to maintain any pretence that she is.

'She's told him how she feels and isn't prepared to be in Germany playing happy families with him.'

Although Kilner is said to want to keep her distance from the 'WAGs group', she was happy to be joined by other partners of England players at the match, including reality TV star and partner of Jarrod Bowen, Dani Dyer.

Also spotted in the stands were John Stones's partner Olivia Naylor (who jumped aboard Annie's private jet this week), and Conor Gallagher's partner Aine May Kennedy.
