Bournemouth and Black Stars forward Antoine Semenyo has celebrated a beautiful moment in his personal life after proposing to his longtime girlfriend, Jordeen Buckley, on Tuesday, November 18. The heartwarming milestone has generated excitement among fans, teammates, and the wider football community.
The couple, who have been together for five years, announced the engagement through a joint Instagram post that featured elegant and intimate photographs from the proposal. Their post quickly gained traction, with fans praising the couple’s bond and the touching simplicity of the moment.
Their caption expressed the depth of their love and the significance of the day, quoting a popular scripture from the Bible:
“Forever has a nice ring to it 💍❤️ Song of Solomon 3:4 – I have found the one whom my soul loves.”
The engagement photos captured Buckley glowing with joy as Semenyo went down on one knee in a beautifully arranged setting. The backdrop, decorated with soft lighting and floral accents, added to the romance of the occasion. Buckley, a London-based entrepreneur, looked radiant in the pictures, while Semenyo appeared emotional yet confident as he asked the life-changing question.
The proposal came just after Semenyo left the Black Stars camp, where he had been ruled out of Ghana’s upcoming friendly against South Korea due to an ankle injury. The 25-year-old forward sustained the injury in his left ankle during international duties, following a match in which he captained the Black Stars in their 2–0 defeat to Japan.
Medical assessments confirmed the need for Semenyo to step away from the national team temporarily to aid his recovery. He used this window to plan and execute the perfect surprise for Buckley—turning what could have been a frustrating moment professionally into a cherished memory personally.
Despite the setback on the field, Semenyo’s engagement has brought widespread joy, with fans flooding social media platforms to congratulate the couple. Many praised the footballer for creating such a meaningful moment amid the pressures of international football.
Teammates and fellow athletes also joined in the celebration, sharing supportive messages and applauding the couple’s five-year journey. The engagement marks a significant chapter in Semenyo’s life as he continues to rise in his career both at AFC Bournemouth and with the Ghana national team.
Buckley, known for her entrepreneurial ventures and strong online presence, has been a consistent pillar of support for Semenyo throughout his career transitions—from his early days in English football to becoming a crucial part of the Black Stars’ attacking lineup. Fans often regard her as a positive influence, frequently spotted cheering him on at matches and sharing motivational posts during his games.
The couple’s engagement has already sparked excitement about their future wedding plans, though neither has shared details yet. For now, supporters are simply celebrating their love story, which many describe as inspiring, wholesome, and beautifully grounded.
As Semenyo focuses on recovering from his ankle injury, fans are hopeful that the engagement will provide added motivation and emotional strength. His resilience, both on and off the pitch, continues to shine through moments like these.
The Black Stars forward now looks ahead to healing quickly, returning to full fitness, and continuing his journey in football—with Buckley by his side.
With this new chapter beginning, supporters across Ghana and beyond have joined in wishing the couple joy, love, and a lifetime of happiness together.
