Where Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole sat a few years ago, now the women players of the current England national team take their place. And they are far from posh and glamor.
The British tabloid media once created the term “WAGs”, “wives and girlfriends”. The most famous WAGs were undoubtedly Victoria Beckham and Cheryl Cole, who had successful careers themselves and were known without their husbands. They adorned the grandstands at the 2006 World Cup. At the current European Championship, the fan ranks of the British look different.
EM 2021: The English and their youthful loved ones
Because instead of high-profile celebrities, you will find normal people there. Eight players from the British European Championship squad are in love with their youthful loved ones. Captain Harry Kane, for example, met his wife, Katie Goodland, at school. A photo of the two from 2005 that shows them together with soccer icon David Beckham went around the world. The two got together seven years after they were admitted and they now have three children together.
The story of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford is similar. At 16, Pickford went to the movies with Megan Davison, then 14. Since then, the two have been a couple and parents of one son. Midfielder Harry Maguire met his fiancée Fern Hawkins when he was 18 and played for youth teams. Attacking midfielder Jack Grealish recently reunited with childhood sweetheart Sasha Attwood after the two were briefly separated. They met at secondary school.
Love drama before the EM
Phil Foden, one of the youngest players on the team at the age of 21, became a father at the age of 18. He also met his girlfriend and mother of the child, Rebecca Cooke, as a teenager, as did Kalvin Phillips and star striker Raheem Sterling.
The relationship between full-back Kyle Walker and his childhood sweetheart Annie Kilner has been less harmonious in recent years. The two separated in 2019 after it was discovered that Walker Kilner had cheated on “Ex On The Beach” candidate Laura Lou Brown. He had a son with Lauryn Goodman in April of last year, only to propose to Kilner the following summer.
