Ellie Mae, a stunning British model, has quickly risen to fame as one of the most popular WAGs (Wives and Girlfriends) among Nigerian footballers. Her relationship with Alex Iwobi, a key player for both Fulham F.C. and the Nigerian national team, has been the subject of much intrigue, even as the couple keeps much of their personal life out of the spotlight.
A Blossoming Romance
Alex Iwobi, who has made a name for himself in the Premier League as the highest-paid Nigerian player, has enjoyed a successful career, both at the club level and with the Nigerian national team. But off the pitch, he’s found happiness in his relationship with Ellie Mae. The couple is believed to have started dating shortly after Iwobi’s move to Everton F.C., and they have been together for over three years.

Before meeting Ellie Mae, Iwobi was single for a while, following the end of his four-year relationship with Clarisse Juliette. The breakup came after Juliette accused Iwobi of infidelity, but since then, Iwobi has found new love and stability with Ellie.
Who is Ellie Mae?
Ellie Mae was born on January 6, 1999, making her three years younger than Iwobi. She is a British model, influencer, and event organizer. Despite her growing fame, Ellie remains private about her personal life, and little is known about her family background.
In addition to her modeling career, Ellie is the co-owner of a digital marketing firm, ZOir, based in Cheshire, Manchester. Her Instagram account, which is private, boasts over 71,000 followers, where she shares glimpses of her glamorous life and stunning looks. Her beauty and style have earned her a top spot among the most admired WAGs of Nigerian footballers.
A Private Yet Strong Relationship
Although Ellie and Iwobi keep their relationship low-key, with no public photos together, they do follow each other on social media. This subtle connection is also shared by some of Iwobi’s family members and close friends, who also follow Ellie’s posts on Instagram.
Ellie Mae is also close friends with Britney De Villiers, the girlfriend of another footballer, Morgan Gibbs-White. The two often appear in photos together, showcasing their friendship, even though their partners play for different Premier League clubs.
Building a Life Together
One of the most telling signs of the couple’s strong relationship is their shared responsibility in caring for two female huskies, Slow and Luna. The dogs live with Iwobi in his northwest London home, and both he and Ellie frequently share photos of the dogs on social media, often seen walking in the same areas.
Ellie Mae’s support has likely played a significant role in Iwobi’s life, helping him navigate the ups and downs of his football career. Her presence has seemingly boosted his confidence and leadership on the field, contributing to his recent successes.
As Iwobi continues to lead both his club and the Nigerian national team towards future achievements, Ellie Mae stands by his side, quietly but surely influencing his journey. Together, they form a power couple that, despite their discretion, has captured the hearts of many fans.
