England Euro 2020 WAGs: Harry Kane's childhood sweetheart, stunning models and law student

A new generation of talent will lead England's hopes at Euro 2020 this summer - joined by a fresh squad of WAGs watching on from the crowd.

After months of speculation, manager Gareth Southgate announced his final team yesterday and he packed a few surprises.

While Liverpool ace Trent Alexander-Arnold was included after rumours he might miss out, Aaron Ramsdale, Ben Godfrey, Ben White, Jesse Lingard, James Ward-Prowse and Ollie Watkins failed to make the cut.

However, with wonderkids like Phil Foden, Bukayo Saka and Jadon Sancho set to shine, the squad is packed full of exciting new blood alongside established stars including Harry Kane and Harry Maguire.

But who are the wives and girlfriends who've supported them through a gruelling season during the pandemic?

From Kane's childhood sweetheart Katie to Reece James' clever law student missus, we take a look at the partners who'll be cheering them on (and posting on Instagram) as the tournament kicks off.

All eyes will be on England captain Harry Kane this tournament - not just for his goals on the pitch, but amid speculation he could be set to leave Tottenham.

By his side during a huge summer for the striker is his wife and childhood sweetheart Katie.

Having known each other since their school days, the couple got engaged in 2017, with the Premier League's top scorer sharing a snap of himself getting down on one knee on a beach in Barbados.

Katie gave birth their first child, Ivy, the same year, and the couple have since welcomed daughter Vivienne and son Louis.

Mia McClenaghan (Reece James)

Her boyfriend will still be celebrating winning the Champion's League with Chelsea - but brainy Mia McClenaghan has another victory to celebrate.

The partner of Reece James, 21, recently completed a law degree at Royal Holloway University in London, studying alongside her work as a model.

Mia regularly shares glam snaps of herself in designer clothes on Instagram, which has seen the Essex-born beauty rack up 16,000 followers.

Right back Reece faces fierce competition for his spot against Kieran Trippier, Trent Alexander-Arnold and Kyle Walker this summer - and will hope to avoid another red card after being sent off for England against Denmark in October.

Fern Hawkins (Harry Maguire)

Fern Hawkins accidentally became one of England's most recognisable WAGs in 2018, after a picture of her watching fiance Harry Maguire sparked a flood of internet memes.

The Manchester United captain was spotted chatting cosily with the Sheffield lass following England's victory over Colombia at the World Cup - the picture then went viral as he scored against Sweden.

Fern, however, is just as sporty as her man, boasting a first class degree in physiotherapy.

The couple have been dating for nine years and, since getting engaged in Paris in 2018, have had two daughters, Lillie Saint and Piper Rose.

Charlotte Trippier (Kieran Trippier)

Charlotte Trippier posted on Instagram that she was a "proud wife" last month after husband Kieran clinched the La Liga title with Atletico Madrid.

And she has been by the right back's side for years, cheering him on from the sidelines as he scored a free kick in the 2018 World Cup semi-finals against Croatia.

The couple married in Cyprus two years earlier, after an outbreak of the Zika virus scuppered their plan to wed in St Lucia, and have a young son and daughter.

Charlotte previously raved that she was a "princess who has found her prince", and the feeling appears mutual, with Kieran sharing an adorable family snap on her birthday, gushing: "We love you so much."

Paige Milian (Raheem Sterling)

Paige Milian first met Raheem Sterling when they were both teenagers - quitting her job at JD Sports to be with the Man City winger.

The pair got engaged before the World Cup and were set to marry last year, before their plans were set back by the pandemic.

They now live in a £3.5million Cheshire mansion with sons Thiago, four, and Thai-Cruz, one.

Paige, who runs Milian Property Group, often shares snaps of their boys with her 78,000 Instagram followers.

Rebecca Cooke (Phil Foden)

Wonderkid Phil Foden, 21, has worked hard to break into Man City's glittering first team, but he also has his hands full as a dad.

The couple married in 2020 at a Crewe register office, with the groom unusually in ripped jeans and a baseball cap. They now live in a £2.1million Cheshire home with son Arlo, two.

Lauren Fryer (Declan Rice)

Declan Rice made the controversial switch from the Republic of Ireland to represent England, said to be with the support of his sweetheart Lauren Fryer.

The pair have been smitten for years, according to the Daily Star, with Rice previously paying tribute to his "gorgeous girlfriend" on her birthday.

The Chessington-born beauty has similarly waxed lyrical about the midfielder, who has shone for West Ham over recent seasons.

When he was crowned Young Player of the Year at the London Football Awards, she posted on social media: "Couldn't be more proud of my Dec winning young player of the year. You deserve everything and more."

No WAG squad is complete without a pop star, and Chloe Wealleans-Watts is sure to bring the glam this summer.

The girlfriend of Chelsea's Mason Mount is a member of girl band 303, singing with Io Munro and Maddie Hinkley.

Originally from Northumberland, the 21-year-old is also signed to Storm Models, and has been dating Mason for four years.

The pair often jet off for luxurious holidays, with the model sharing pictures with her 27,000 followers on Instagram.

Anouska Santos (Luke Shaw)

Anouska Santos will be delighted by her boyfriend's England call-up, with Luke Shaw shining for Manchester United this season after a difficult few years.

The 25-year-old's partner is a regular in the stands at Old Trafford and gave birth to their son, Reign London, back in November 2019.

Announcing her pregnancy at the time, she wrote on social media: "I hope he’s just like you, with a little bit of me."

Anouska is also thought to be pals with Love Island star Mollie-Mae Hague, after she shared a snap of her on Instagram with Tommy Fury's stunning girlfriend.

Amie Coady (Conor Coady)

Wolves star Conor Coady is a true family man, happily married to wife Amie, with whom he shares three sons - Henri, Freddie and Louie.

The 28-year-old is bedding into the England late in his career, having only received his first call-up last season - and has told how he broke the news to his family alongside his long-term partner.

"Me and my wife said to my parents: 'We've got news for you'," Conor explained.

"I had my arm round my wife and my mum and dad said: 'Oh, Amie is not pregnant again is she?'"

Rebecca Burnett (Jordan Henderson)

However, he has kept his relationship with wife Rebecca Burnett firmly out of the spotlight.

The couple are believed to have met while he was an up-and-coming young talent at Sunderland, and married in 2014.

They have three kids, who will no doubt be delighted with their dad's call-up after he was sidelined for months with a groin problem in February.

Ashleigh Behan (Kalvin Phillips)

Kalvin Phillips has no bigger fan than girlfriend Ashleigh Behan, whom he has been dating for 11 years.

The make-up artist - who specialises in prom, bridal and evening make-up - couldn't hide her delight when the midfielder won promotion with Leeds United last season.

Celebrating late into the night, she posted on social media: "The best night celebrating with my CHAMPION!!! What a team."

The couple have two dogs together and Kalvin gushed about her last Valentine's Day, writing: "'Happy 11th Valentines to my love. Here's to 11 more! I love you!"
