Germany’s WAGs: These are the wives and girlfriends of the German national team at the 2026 World Cup
The German national team is in the spotlight thanks to the 2026 World Cup, but another group is gaining attention as well.


With the 2026 FIFA World Cup underway across North America, Germany has arrived with a refreshed, talent-packed squad looking to reassert themselves on the global stage. Led by captain Joshua Kimmich and a mix of experienced stars and rising talents like Florian Wirtz and Kai Havertz, Die Mannschaft is aiming to bounce back after a disappointing decade in major tournaments.
But as always, there’s another side to the World Cup spotlight: the WAGs - the wives and girlfriends supporting Germany’s stars behind the scenes. From models and influencers to low-key partners who prefer life out of the spotlight, here’s a closer look at the women alongside Germany’s biggest names in 2026.
WAGS of the German national team at the 2026 World Cup
Florian Wirtz (attacking midfielder) and Aaliyah Cloßen
Florian Wirtz has been in a relationship with model and influencer Aaliyah Cloßen since 2022, forming one of the most visible young couples in German soccer. The pair reportedly began dating around the time Wirtz suffered his serious ACL injury, with Cloßen playing a key role in supporting him through rehabilitation, something that has been frequently noted by fans.
Cloßen has since become a regular presence at both club and international matches, including Bayer Leverkusen’s 2024 Bundesliga title celebrations and Germany games at Euro 2024. A lifestyle and fashion influencer with a strong TikTok following, she often shares content online while also maintaining a close relationship with Wirtz’s family. The couple is not married and does not have children as of 2026, but their relationship appears strong and highly supportive.
Kai Havertz (forward) and Sophia Havertz
Kai Havertz is married to Sophia Havertz, a social media personality and influencer who has been by his side since 2018. The couple got engaged in 2023 and married in July 2024.
In March 2025, they welcomed their first child, a son, marking a major milestone in their relationship. Sophia is frequently seen supporting Havertz at matches and sharing glimpses of their family life online.
Leon Goretzka (midfielder) and Mathea Fischer
Leon Goretzka has been dating Mathea Fischer since roughly 2015, though he is notably one of the more private figures in the Germany squad when it comes to his personal life. Fischer is believed to have a background in business and modeling, but keeps a relatively low public profile.
Goretzka has long emphasized privacy off the field, preferring to keep his personal relationships out of the spotlight.
