‘Wedding Planning?’ — Fans React After Bukayo Saka’s Fiancée Tolami Benson Shares Snaps from Lagos Trip
Tolami Benson, the fiancée of Arsenal footballer Bukayo Saka, has given fans a glimpse into her recent visit to Lagos with a series of Instagram posts.
The 25-year-old media strategist, who often travels back to her Nigerian roots, shared images from the vibrant Lekki market, captioning one “Hidden gems - Lekki market 💎”.
This marks another discreet trip home for Benson, who tends to keep these visits low-profile despite her growing public presence.
The post quickly gained traction, amassing over 12,100 likes and 86 comments.
Fans flooded the section with warm messages, including one user who wrote: “Welcome home 🇳🇬”.
Another fan commented: “I can see you’re enjoying Lagos ”.
One commenter even speculated about wedding preparations, asking “is that wedding preps 😍”, sparking excitement among followers eager for updates on her relationship with Saka.
Exploring Lagos’ Cultural Scene
Benson’s latest visit was centered on Lagos Island, where she explored local markets and immersed herself in the city’s rich fashion and cultural landscape.
Among the carousel of images, she included photos of defunct naira notes and kobo coins, those old currencies that have become collectible hidden gems, reflecting Nigeria’s economic history.
These pieces, no longer in circulation due to inflation and changes over the decades, add a nostalgic touch to her market adventure.
The snaps highlight her interest in Nigeria’s soft power through clothing and design, showcasing colourful stalls and artisanal finds.
Her Relationship with Saka and Engagement Details
Tolami Benson and Bukayo Saka have been in a relationship for five years, keeping much of it private despite Saka’s prominence in the Premier League and with England.
The couple, both in their mid-20s, announced their engagement in November 2025, delighting fans with the news. Saka reportedly proposed on 17 November 2025 at a luxurious London hotel, presenting Benson with a stunning diamond ring estimated to be worth between £190,000 and £255,000.
They shared the moment on Instagram on 28 November 2025, posting black-and-white photos captioned simply “17.11.25”.
The announcement received widespread congratulations from teammates, celebrities, and supporters.
Benson’s most recent public outing before the Lagos trip was at the British Fashion Awards in December 2025, where she made a striking post-engagement debut in a red sleeveless dress by Romanian designer Maria Lucia Hohan, proudly displaying her ring.
As they look ahead, hints of wedding plans continue to excite fans, with Benson’s Nigerian ties potentially adding a cultural touch to their celebrations.
