Who is Sadio Mane's wife Aisha Tamba? Meet former Liverpool star's partner

Former Liverpool star Sadio Mane, 31, has married his '18-year-old long-term girlfriend' Aisha Tamba in a private ceremony in Senegal.

The wedding took place on January 7 in Keur Massar - six days before the start of the Africa Cup of Nations on January 13, according to Business Day.

Reports from Pulse Sports claim that Aisha 'was long intended for the 31-year-old footballer since her teenage years' with the outlet also stating that the ex-Liverpool star 'had taken care of her bills when she was in school'.

Photos from the wedding show Aisha wearing a mermaid-style intricate, fitted, lacey dress, with long sleeves and a silky veil.

And so, Mail Sport breaks down everything you need to know about Sadio Mane's wife Aisha Tamba.

As alluded to, Tamba is 18-years-old - which makes her 13 years younger than the former Liverpool star.

Pulse Sports reported that Mane had made a vow to marry Tamba from the very day they started dating - which was during his Liverpool career.

The outlet also stated that her education would be 'taken care of' - with the Senegalese star also 'taking care of her family.'

The same outlet exclusively reported that Tamba is not on social media and maintains a private life.

Mane, 31, had previously spoken about his ideal woman where he revealed that his wife would not be on any forms of social media.

Despite Mane being one of the most recognisable faces in football, he somehow managed to keep his relationship with Tamba secret from the public eye up until their marriage this year.

Back in 2022, he had however spoken out on the type of person that he would marry.

'I've seen a lot of girls asking me why I am not married, but sorry you might be wasting your time. The woman I marry will not be on social networks,'
