Samantha Tarkowski – the wife of Everton star James Tarkowski – was left in tears when opening up about the stress of body expectations.
The WAG first began dating the defender in 2015 during his playing days at Brentford before following him to Burnley and now the Toffees, where he’s played since 2022. The couple clinched their nuptials last year and share a daughter named Ivy.
The pair are one of several couples starring in Prime Video’s new series Married To The Game, which documents the lives of five football WAGs with viewers able to watch what it’s really like dating a footballer at the highest level.
In episode two of the series, Tarkowski, 33, was noticeably emotional during a gym session as she discussed the pressures of looking a certain way when you’re dating a footballer. “Everyone seems to think a footballer has to be with a very stereotypical, super skinny, really glamorous, gorgeous woman, whereas actually he’s just my husband, he’s just James to me,” she said.
“You’re constantly fighting against people that want to bring you down, it’s hard work, and social media plays a huge part in that.” She admitted to not wanting to keep her daughter away from those pressures which resorted her to tears.

“It’s so dangerous and being a mother of a daughter, that makes me feel… I want to keep her away from that as much as possible. I want to make her feel empowered, and that was actually – I’m getting emotional, sorry, I don’t know why I’m crying.
“When I had Ivy, I wanted even more to be this empowered woman to show her that that’s so important. I can’t speak, I’m sorry.”

Tarkowski added that giving birth to a daughter changed her perspective on the importance of your appearance as she said: “It’s so important to be a strong woman, to know that actually the way you look is so minor compared to who you are
