Florian Wirtz was given a rare night off as Liverpool faced Tottenham in the Carabao Cup, but he was still on hand to lend his teammates some support from the stands at Anfield.
Wirtz had started every game under Andoni Iraola at the start of the season before Tuesday, with the Reds' boss choosing to rotate his squad as he made 10 changes following the goalless draw with Fulham at the weekend.
Having been afforded a rest, Wirtz was spotted watching the game from the stands, and he was sat alongside his girlfriend Aaliyah, who made the move to Merseyside alongside the German international last year.
Wirtz has kept his personal life relatively private, but photos of him and Aaliyah began to emerge back in 2024.
Aaliyah was spotted on the field at BayArena celebrating Leverkusen's unbeaten league and cup double before their European campaign ended in disappointment. The beauty was also seen in the stands amongst the German WAGs at Euro 2024.
She was pictured chatting with Sophia Weber, Kai Havertz's other half, and Wirtz's father in the stands, before joining her beau on the field.
Off the pitch, Aaliyah is an influencer. Although her Instagram account is private, adding a touch of intrigue to the gorgeous model, she has amassed over 100K followers on TikTok, where she delights fans with fashion inspiration.

Her striking looks have also led to collaborations with Cologne-based photographer Jonas Herrlein. It's understood that the couple began their relationship in 2022, around the time when Wirtz - long celebrated as the golden boy of German football and widely acknowledged as one of the world's top young talents - sustained a cruciate ligament injury.
As reported by German publication BILD, Aaliyah was a constant support during his recovery and return to the field, helping him navigate the emotional toll of the injury and play a crucial role in Leverkusen's unexpected Bundesliga title victory last year.

She has also become a part of the family, often seen with his parents and siblings at matches.
Wirtz and his partner's appearance at Anfield came as the midfielder was handed more advice by Liverpool legend Robbie Fowler, with the 23-year-old struggling to find his feet with the Reds.
"They brought him in to try and unlock defenses, and that’s where they’ve struggled in terms of when teams sit deep against Liverpool. I’ve said this for a few years now, Liverpool have struggled to break teams down, hence you spend £125 million-plus on players, and it hasn’t happened just yet.
"I think he’s neat and he’s tidy, Wirtz, and we give him all the plaudits for the right reasons, but he’s got to improve in terms of that final third for Liverpool."
