Ellie Watkins, wife of England player Ollie Watkins, recently shared moments from a family day in Kansas with her husband and their two young children, Amara and Marley. The outing followed England's decisive knockout victory over Mexico in the World Cup. The family visited the Sea Life aquarium and later dined at a barbecue restaurant, with Watkins describing the day as "well spent" on social media.
Watkins, who has established herself as an influencer, has been active on Instagram, sharing promotional content related to fashion and beauty. She recently posted a TikTok video featuring makeup from the brand Iconic London. Her Instagram Stories have also showcased custom Vans designed by her brother-in-law, Jordan Watkins.
The England team secured a 3-2 victory against Mexico at the Azteca Stadium, a match that has been highlighted as one of England's strongest performances since their 1966 World Cup win. The win advances England to the quarter-finals, where they are scheduled to play Norway in Miami. The match against Mexico, delayed by an hour due to lightning, was closely followed by millions.
Watkins and other partners of England players, often referred to as WAGs, have been present at the tournament, offering support. This presence has also drawn commentary, including criticism from pundit Roy Keane regarding the players' partners wearing jerseys with their names on them. Watkins publicly responded to Keane's comments via a TikTok video prior to England's match against Ghana, questioning his approval of her attire. She also previously shared a lighthearted update about a wardrobe situation, jokingly asking if Keane approved of her outfit after forgetting to pack undergarments for a previous game.
