Meet Dominic Solanke’s ‘soulmate’ fiancé Erica Raimondi: his three nicknames for her & their height difference she loves
ERICA Raimondi has just joined a very exclusive club.
The 27-year-old, who is engaged to Tottenham’s Dominic Solanke, is now an England WAG.
Striker Dominic, also 27, has been called-up to represent the Three Lions for the first time in SEVEN years.
He currently has just one cap to his name from a friendly against Brazil in 2017.
It comes after new manager Lee Carsley named his England squad for the upcoming international break earlier today – and left out some huge names.
On the decision to select Dominic, the gaffer said: “Dom is a player I am fully aware of and I have worked with him in the past.
“He was really close to being in the last squad – but he got injured just before the selection.
“He has got a lot of really good attributes that I like and as well as being a nice person, he is extremely talented and it is good that we have got him.”
The player himself was delighted, writing on Instagram: “It’s been a while. Delighted to be called up to represent my country again.”
Mum-of-one Erica, who gave birth to a daughter in September last year, is now set to support her long-term beau from the national stands.
Whilst it’s currently unclear how the couple met and when they got together, we do know that Dominic popped the question on a lavish holiday in the Maldives in November 2022.
They announced that they were expecting their first child together in May 2023, and shortly after hosted a gender reveal party for family and friends.
A quick glance at Erica’s public TikTok profile proves that she’ll fit right in with the current England WAG cohort.
Veteran wives and girlfriends include Megan Pickford, wife to goalie Jordan, Katie Kane, wife to starboy striker Harry, and Sasha Attwood, girlfriend to attacker Jack Grealish.
Erica, who measures up at a tiny 5ft1, shares regular snippets into lavish “baecations” and date nights with 6ft3 Dominic.
And she’s even keen to show off their mammoth height difference in some of her snaps.
Among the couple’s passport stamps are Dubai, the Maldives, Milan, Paris and Amsterdam.
Earlier this year, she shared that his nicknames for her are “Sleen”, “Queen” and “Sloom”.
The pair also share a Pomeranian pooch named Leo.
Erica is yet to make a public comment about Dominic being called-up to represent his country for a second time.
The Three Lions are set to take on Greece in the Nation’s League on Thursday 10 October.
