\Arsenal and England football star Bukayo Saka and his fiancée, Tolami Benson, have sparked widespread relationship speculation following reports that the couple have unfollowed each other on Instagram, with their engagement announcement also reportedly disappearing from their social media accounts.
The development, which attracted attention on Saturday, November 14, and Sunday, November 15, 2026, has prompted questions about the future of their relationship, barely a year after they publicly announced their engagement.
Reports indicate that Benson’s Instagram account has also been deactivated, adding to speculation that the couple may have called off their wedding plans.
However, neither Saka nor Benson has publicly confirmed that their engagement has ended or announced a separation.
The rumours have also taken an unexpected turn following claims circulating on social media that the alleged disagreement between the couple involved a prenuptial agreement.
According to the unverified claims, Saka allegedly wanted certain financial conditions attached to their proposed marriage, including a prenup, but Benson was reportedly unwilling to accept the arrangement.
Some social media users have linked the speculation to the controversial financial arrangement popularly associated with Moroccan footballer Achraf Hakimi, whose divorce from actress Hiba Abouk generated international discussions about marital assets and financial protection.
The comparison has fuelled online conversations, with some users suggesting that Saka may have wanted to adopt a similar approach to protecting his wealth before marriage.
However, there is currently no credible evidence establishing that Saka requested a prenuptial agreement, that Benson rejected one, or that financial disagreements caused the reported relationship crisis.
The couple’s relationship has largely remained private despite Saka’s growing international fame.
They are believed to have started dating around 2020, although their romance attracted wider public attention during the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, when Benson was spotted supporting the Arsenal winger.
Benson subsequently became a familiar face among England supporters during the 2024 European Championship, where her fashionable match-day appearances attracted attention from football fans and fashion publications.
After keeping their relationship away from the spotlight for several years, the couple surprised fans in November 2025 when they announced their engagement.
They shared romantic black-and-white photographs from the proposal, with the date November 17, 2025, accompanying the announcement.
The engagement attracted congratulatory messages from footballers, celebrities and supporters, who celebrated the couple’s decision to take their relationship to the next level.
In July 2026, Benson offered a rare insight into their wedding expectations during an interview, revealing that she liked the idea of eloping with Saka but believed her family would not be comfortable with such an arrangement.
She joked that her mother would have a heart attack if they decided to get married secretly.
Benson also indicated that she preferred a meaningful celebration involving loved ones rather than an unnecessarily extravagant event.
At the time, there was no public indication of a relationship breakdown.
The latest speculation has therefore surprised followers who had been anticipating news of their wedding.
Saka, 25, is one of Arsenal’s most important attacking players and a regular member of the England national team. His football career has brought him significant commercial success and international recognition.
Benson has also established her own professional identity through work in public relations, media and fashion, including collaborations with major lifestyle and beauty brands.
Despite the growing online discussion, the actual circumstances behind the reported changes to their social media accounts remain unknown.
Until either party addresses the speculation, claims that the engagement has been cancelled because of a disagreement over a prenup should be treated as unverified rumours rather than established facts.
