Hot England WAGs “descend” upon the World Cup: Bellingham’s girlfriend shines with stunning visuals, Pickford’s wife experiences a hilarious mishap.
The England team received a boost in morale from the stands during their 4-2 victory over Croatia.
Besides the intense matches on the American pitches at the 2026 World Cup, the strong support system of the England team, the famous WAGs (wives and girlfriends of footballers), became the focus of international media attention during England’s 4-2 win over Croatia on the morning of June 18th.
The spotlight quickly shifted to Ashlyn Castro, girlfriend of superstar Jude Bellingham. The American model and influencer didn’t hesitate to drive for four hours to support the Real Madrid midfielder, sitting alongside Bellingham’s parents to cheer him on in the thrilling victory in which Bellingham contributed one goal.

Equally popular is Megan Pickford, wife of goalkeeper Jordan Pickford. Considered the powerful “big sister” of the English WAGs thanks to her friendliness and experience in numerous major tournaments, Megan had a rather comical start in the US. On her personal page, she humorously shared the incident of losing all her luggage upon landing. Despite having to borrow jeans from an acquaintance, Megan still managed to be present in the stands to cheer on her husband, proving her unwavering support regardless of the circumstances.

The England team’s 2026 World Cup campaign also features the presence of many other familiar faces such as Kate Kane (Harry Kane’s wife), Lauren Fryer (Declan Rice’s girlfriend), Olivia Naylor (John Stones’ wife), along with new additions like Layla Roye (Kobbie Mainoo’s girlfriend) and Ellie Watkins (Ollie Watkins’ wife). Their appearances not only brightened the stands in the US but also showcased a united England team, fully supported both tactically and mentally on their journey to conquer the World Cup.
