England’s World Cup quarter-final win over Norway turned into a full-blown Miami celebration – and the Three Lions’ WAGs were right at the heart of the emotion in the stands.

Tolami Benson, Bukayo Saka’s partner, kept herself cool while holding a fan to her face and wearing a tie with the number ’87’. The number nods to Saka breaking an 87-year-old record last year to become England’s highest-scoring Arsenal player
The WAG certainly had reason to smile as her boyfriend Jude (pictured) equalised with Norway during the match, before scoring a second goal
Jude Bellingham’s girlfriend Ashlyn Castro was seen smiling throughout the evening as she joined the England supporters at the Hard Rock Stadium. Sitting alongside Jude’s mother Denise, Ashlyn had a front-row view of a night that quickly became another huge chapter in Bellingham’s tournament story.
The 28-year-old appeared relaxed and excited before kick-off, arriving early as the atmosphere built around one of England’s biggest matches of the summer. But by the end of the game, she had even more reason to beam as Bellingham delivered the goals that helped send England into the semi-finals.
Norway had made the tie tense after taking the lead, but Bellingham pulled England level just before half-time. The Real Madrid star then struck again in extra time, putting the Three Lions ahead and setting off wild celebrations among fans, families and famous faces inside the stadium.
Ashlyn later shared her pride from the stands, praising the performance as the England squad celebrated a hard-fought 2-1 victory. It was a moment that blended sporting drama with the kind of off-pitch attention that always follows a major tournament run.

She was not the only familiar face bringing glamour to Miami. Bukayo Saka’s fiancée Tolami Benson also stood out in the stands, keeping cool with a fan while wearing a tie featuring the number 87 – a stylish nod to Saka’s record-breaking England achievement as an Arsenal player.
Tolami has become one of England’s most talked-about tournament fashion figures, and her latest look once again caught attention as she supported Saka during another high-pressure night for Thomas Tuchel’s side.
Harry Kane’s wife Kate also joined the celebrations, looking proud and polished in a red top carrying the England captain’s name and number nine. As Kane led his side through another intense knockout match, Kate was seen smiling broadly after the final whistle.
Jordan Pickford’s wife Megan added more family warmth to the evening as she cheered on the goalkeeper with their children. Dressed in a red-and-white Chanel mini dress, white ballet pumps and a matching handbag, Megan looked every inch the supportive tournament regular as the family watched the drama unfold.
Their children also brought an adorable touch to the build-up, wearing football kits with “Daddy” on the back as they cheered for their father before the game. It was a reminder that behind the pressure of a World Cup quarter-final, the players still had their closest supporters watching every kick.

Rice had been dealing with illness in the build-up and was substituted during the match, but England still found a way through. The squad were already without Jarell Quansah following his red card against Mexico, while Jordan Henderson missed out after a wrist injury suffered in unusual circumstances.
There was better news for Reece James, who recovered enough from a knock to feature on the night. Even with fitness concerns and a difficult opponent, England showed resilience when it mattered most.
The celebrity energy around the stadium added to the sense that this was more than just a football match. Ellie Goulding performed before the game, while Maya Jama was spotted mingling with John Stones’ wife Olivia in the stands as fans soaked up the Miami atmosphere.
After the final whistle, Prince William, who serves as President of the Football Association, congratulated the team and called them a “special” group. His message captured the mood among England fans who now believe this squad could be on the edge of something unforgettable.
For the players, the focus now turns to the semi-final. For their families and partners, Saturday night was a chance to share in the joy, nerves and relief of another huge England win.
From Ashlyn Castro’s proud smile to Tolami Benson’s fashion statement and Kate Kane’s beaming reaction, the stands told their own story of support. As England’s World Cup dream rolls on, the WAGs of Miami have become part of the tournament’s growing spectacle.
