Being a striker is no easy job. It’s not just about scoring goals as it’s that one standout quality that makes every team want you. In a country like England, where every street has given birth to some biggest names, the name Ollie Watkins shines like a beacon. Over the years, the forward has endured a significant rise, especially due to his last-minute heroics for his nation in the UEFA Euro 2024 semifinal clash against the Netherlands. Today, we shift the attention towards his personal life as not many are aware of his family background, parents, and siblings.

Meet the parents and siblings of Ollie Watkins

Oliver George Arthur Watkins was born to Steven and Delsi-May on December 30, 1995. He was raised in Torquay, Devon, a resort town in south-west England. Unfortunately, there are not many details available regarding the past life of Watkins’ parents, but it is believed that he was brought up in a middle-class family.

While it is unknown what Ollie’s dad does for a living, his mother works as a singer. She was offered a recording contract at a very young age. However, in an interview, Delsi-May revealed that she eventually rejected signing it because she wasn’t being launched by her own name. Instead, she was being given a stage name, ‘Ruby Washington.’

While Desli-May did say no to the recording contract, she didn’t leave signing. As of today, she has a band named ‘The Superstitions’. It is regarded as one of the most popular musical bands in Southwest England and is even booked for various parties and weddings. Of course, this was something she had to do, given that there was no support from Ollie’s dad.

Sadly, father Steven and mother Delsi-May had split up even before Ollie made it as a professional soccer star. He and his siblings were raised all by his mom. Speaking of which, aside from Ollie, Steven and Delsi-May also share three sons, Richie, Dale, and Jordan, and a daughter named Charlotte. It’s still unknown to the public what the Aston Villa star’s siblings currently do. Now, let’s know more about his love life.

Who is Ollie Watkins’ girlfriend and does he have any children?

Ollie Watkins is currently in a relationship with Ellie Alderson. Ellie was born on June 3, 1996, and was brought up in Berkshire. Alderson is quite well-educated and even has a degree of diploma in interior design. Ellie is believed to be working in this particular field as well. One can also call her a social media influencer as she boasts over 40,000 followers on Instagram as of July 2024. Ellie is even friends with many soccer WAGs as well.

Not much is known about her family but she does have a twin sister Sofie. Notably, it is said that the two love birds have known each other since 2018. While the two have yet to tie the knot, that doesn’t stop them from planning the future. Ollie and Ellie are parents to two adorable kids. Daughter Amara was welcomed back in September 2021 with two years later, son Marley was born. The whole family currently resides in Birmingham.
