OH how the other halves live!
They may not be able to spend time with their fellas, but the England and Wales WAGs are clearly living their best lives this World Cup.
Enviable snaps shared to their social media pages show it’s been non-stop sunbathing, eating and enjoying cocktails in Qatar between matches.
Jack Grealish’s girlfriend Sasha Attwood and the rest of the British footballers’ partners touched down in Doha earlier this week ahead of England’s 6-2 win against Iran and Wales’ 1-1 draw with the US.
While the men are all housed at the Al Wakra resort, the England WAGs are staying on a luxury £1billion cruise liner, dubbed a “floating palace”.
It boasts six swimming pools, 30 bars and the tallest slide on a ship.
Meanwhile their Welsh counterparts are staying at the luxurious Grand Hyatt Dubai.
All the girls have been busy sharing photos and videos of themselves soaking up the 30 degree heat in bikinis.
And they seem to be getting round the strict alcohol rules in Qatar, where it’s largely only served in hotel restaurants and bars with special licences.
Thanks to the England WAGs’ cruise ship being “off-shore”, those on board can sip boozy cocktails to their heart’s content.
And they’ve got 30 bars to choose from on the ship, as well as a micro-brewery and mixology classes in its Elixir gin bar.
Paige Milian, 27, girlfriend of England’s Raheem Sterling, Tolami Benson, 22, who’s dating Bukayo Saka, and Raheem’s little sister Kima-Lee Sterling have clearly been making the most of it.
The trio shared a video of cocktails they were drinking at one of the bars, where they were dressed to the nines.
Tolami posted a snap of some sushi and dim sum at one of the many restaurants on-board, along with what looked like a white Chanel bag.
She also shared a video of the inside of the cruise ship – which houses beauty salons, boutiques, dodgems, 14 ocean-view Jacuzzis and the longest dry-slide at sea, ominously called The Venom Drop.
Swanky restaurants
Aaron Ramsdale’s fiancee Georgina Irwin obviously fancied a little taste of home for dinner.
She headed to the swanky Japanese-Chinese fusion eatery Novikov, which originated in London’s Mayfair – and had some delicious-looking tacos.
Prices at Novikov go up to 420 Rial (£95.82) for just nine pieces of sashimi, while the cheapest item on the menu is apple juice for 25 Rial (£5.70).
Georgina was dressed for the occasion, looking stunning in a black, sequined suit and trouser set with matching bralet – an outfit which would’ve set her back around £640.
Paige also headed out for an outdoor dinner by the pool, wearing a stunning brown dress that showed off her amazing figure.
In a video she shared of the formal dining table outside, there were lots of seats so she and the girls most likely got together for the meal.
Fun with the kids
Paige is in Qatar with her and Raheem’s children, Thiago, five, and Thai-Cruz, three, as well as his daughter from his relationship with his ex-girlfriend Melissa Clarke, Melody Rose, 10.
And Amie Coady, 29, the wife of England’s Conor Coady, has brought along their sons Henry, seven, Louie, five, and three-year-old Freddie to support their dad.
They’re all probably having a ball on the cruise ship with so much to do, including a range of clubs for children, a Sportplex zone offering basketball, bumper cars, and even a roller disco rink.
Amie has also found time to enjoy an evening scoot with the kids, as she shared a video of them whizzing along the seafront, as well as a view from her room on the cruise showing off the stunning view – and the 26 degree heat.
She posted a string of pictures from her room, which overlooks the sea, posing in a black and white bikini and matching sarong – costing £102 for the set from Grace Jacob – and some very glamorous Chanel sandals.
Beach days
The Welsh WAGs all posed together when they supported their men at their first game against USA.
But it seems like many of them are doing their own thing when it comes to the non-match days.
Georgina Roberts, the stunning wife of Welsh footballer Connor Roberts, is staying at the Grand Hyatt Dubai hotel – where rooms start at 950AED (£214) a night – with their eight-month-old daughter and her mum.
She has shared loads of photos of the three generations enjoying a wholesome holiday together.
In one snap Georgina looks very happy holding her daughter in the sea at the Dukes The Palm Hotel’s beach.
And in another picture, she’s seen enjoying some cocktails by the pool with her mum.
Meanwhile others have been enjoying the sun, sitting by the pool and beach, relaxing.
Jodie Francis, the fiancee of Wales player Chris Mepham, showed off her toned abs in a gorgeous black one-shouldered bikini top with some loose, white trousers, as she sat on the beach.
Nicole Hagan, who has been linked to Welsh player Neco Williams, also looked like she was enjoying the sun, in a glamorous photo wearing a lilac bikini.
