This Saturday will see England face Ireland in the 2026 Guinness Men’s Six Nations Championship – and as the players take to Allianz Stadium in Twickenham, they’ll surely be supported by their glamorous wives and girlfriends.

Cheering on from the crowd will be an array of radiant, and very accomplished, partners, including a pharmacist, a doctor, a dietician, an artist and a successful restauranteur who came to the UK as a refugee.

England’s vice captain George Ford will no doubt be supported by his wife, Atdhetare Hoxha, who he tied the knot with in 2022. The Kosovo-born businesswoman fled her war-torn home country when she was young and now runs eateries in Manchester.

She’ll be joined by England captain Maro Itoje’s wife Mimi, who is an artist and social media aficionado who curates her feed with enviable food recommendations.

Fullback Freddie Steward, meanwhile, has recently posted loved up photos with his girlfriend Madison Woan – daughter of Nottingham Forest player Ian Woan.

When it comes to the Ireland squad, Caelan Doris recently went public with model and holistic health practitioner Meadhbh McGann, and Jeremy Loughman last month popped the question to his long-time girlfriend Lucie Johnson.

Elsewhere, lock Tadhg Beirne has been with Welsh influencer Harriet Fuller since they met on a night out in 2018 – and in 2022, the couple enjoyed a lavish Kilkea Castle wedding. They welcomed their daughter Penelope last December.

Read on to discover all the glamorous WAGS fans can expect to see in the stands during Saturday’s game…
