Germany’s WAGs: These are the wives and girlfriends of the German national team at the 2026 World Cup

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.
