Sadio Mane marries 18-year-old long-term girlfriend In Senegal.
Sadio Mane, a former Liverpool striker, married his 18-year-old fiancée, Aisha Tamba, in a secret ceremony in Senegal on January 7, shortly before the Africa Cup of Nations. The wedding was attended by family, friends, and fellow footballers, and stories indicate that Aisha had planned to marry Mane since she was a teenager.
The exact duration of their relationship is unknown, however it falls under Senegal’s legal age of consent, which is 16. There have also been reports that Mane financially supported Aisha while she was in school.
Instagram user @Magvision_Evens_Officiel posted the couple’s wedding pictures, who are well-known for their privacy and who practice Islam. In one of the photos, Mane and his wife Aisha are shown holding hands and posing, with Mane sitting under a bouquet of flowers with the words “Mrs. Mane” written on the wall.

Her wedding attire is a lacey, mermaid-style dress with long sleeves and a silky veil.
Mane is seen in the pictures wearing a traditional Senegalese outfit. Mane maintained the privacy of his relationship with Aisha during his tenure at Liverpool. Mane discussed the characteristics he values in a partner in 2022.
He mentioned that he prefers someone who is not active on social media and that he wants a woman who respects God and prays well.
‘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,’ Mane said according to Tribune.
‘I want to marry a woman who respects God and prays well. Everyone has their own way of making their choice of love,’ Mane added.
Even though he had seen Aisha before, when she was sixteen, he had not made a formal approach at that time. Rather, he informed his uncle, a family acquaintance, about his plans, which ultimately resulted in their marriage.
