England WAGs send Father's Day messages to team ahead of big match
The England WAGs have sent heartwarming Father's Day messages to their partners before the Euro 2024 opener on Sunday 16 June.
They've recorded adorable videos of their little ones donning England kits, aiming to give Gareth Southgate's squad a morale boost as they commence their campaign in Germany. The clips showcase the kids as mini football stars, belting out the national anthem with gusto.
To stir up some nostalgia and motivation, many of the messages harked back to our iconic 1966 victory against Germany, hoping to spark that winning spirit in the Euro 2024 team. A 'content expert' was even brought in to help craft the perfect montage.
Katie Goodland, Harry Kane's other half and a seasoned traveller, is expected to be dishing out travel tips and advice to the Wags after she got cosy in Munich back in January.
Anouska Santos, Luke Shaw's partner, expressed her excitement at Manchester airport on Saturday 15 June as she prepared to jet off to Dusseldorf: "I'm really excited to be going.”
She wasn't alone; Megan Davison, 28, Jordan Pickford's wife, was spotted too, proudly wearing a necklace with her hubby's name as a sweet token of support.
Kyle Walker's wife, Annie Kilner, is all set to jet off on a lavish £30,000 private flight today with three of their four sons to support her hubby on Sunday’s match. However, she won't be lingering for long, planning only a brief stay.
Meanwhile, Lauryn Goodman, Walker's ex-flame, has changed her plans and will no longer be attending tonight's Serbia clash. Instead, she'll be heading to the Slovenia game in Cologne on Tuesday June 25, where little Kairo will be sporting a jersey emblazoned with "Daddy" and his dad's number 2.
Flashback to the 2006 World Cup in Germany, where WAG royalty like Coleen Rooney, Alex Curran, and Victoria Beckham turned the tranquil spa town of Baden-Baden into their personal playground, hitting up the local bars and boutiques. Fast forward to now, and there's a fresh crop of football stars and their glamorous other halves ready to steal the spotlight.
Crystal Palace's Ebere Eze tied the knot with his sweetheart Izuthe Mulatto in 2022 while Irish beauty Aine May Kennedy will be rooting for Chelsea's Conor Gallagher. Aston Villa's Ollie Watkins will have the support of interior designer Ellie Alderson, the mother of his two kids.
The football family vibes continue with Newcastle's Anthony Gordon celebrating fatherhood with his childhood love, Annie Keating, last November as they welcomed a son. Over at West Ham, Jarrod Bowen and Dani Dyer, daughter of actor and die-hard Hammers supporter Danny Dyer, are now proud parents to twin girls, born in 2023.
Jarrod has shared that his dad, along with a bunch of friends and family, are heading to Germany in a camper van. Jude Bellingham may only be 20, but Euro 2024 is already set to be his third tournament wearing the England jersey.
Meanwhile, Jude’s girlfriend, Dutch model Laura Celia Valk, is gearing up for her first tournament experience, having worked with major brands like Pretty Little Thing, Lounge Underwear, and Gooseberry Intimates.
