"I'm a real life WAG - I miss out on family events to watch my husband play"

  • last month
Meet the WAG who misses out on birthdays, christenings and weddings to watch her husband play soccer.

Tatiana, 25, and Mason Stajduhar, 26, met on Hinge in January, 2022, and the pair hit it off as Tatiana thought he was "cute".

Originally, Tatiana didn't believe that Mason was a soccer player so he invited her to watch him in training for Orlando City.

The happy couple became officially in April, 2022, and tied the knot on the 13th January, 2023 surrounded by their family and friends.

Tatiana said it is a "great life" being a WAG but says the stereotypes are out of date.

She said she doesn't receive an allowance from her husband and there isn't a rivalry between the wives.

Tatiana Stajduhar, 25, a content creator from Orlando, Florida said: “There's different pros and cons to being a WAG.

"I have my own morning routines and then we meet up in the afternoon.

“We like to go golfing and shoot clays.

"We are a competitive couple so anything outdoors we will like to do.

"The one thing I don't enjoy is that we miss out of family occasions due to training and matches."

Tatiana and Mason met on Hinge in January, 2022, after Tatiana found him "cute" and dropped him a message.

The pair hit it off and Tatiana said it was "love at first sight".

They went on their first date to Bartaco, a restaurant in Dr. Phillips Center for the Performing Arts, Orlando, Florida, in 2022.

She said: “We went to this taco place which was very nice.

"In the restaurant you can order and pay at the table but Mason didn't know how to use it, so I ended up paying on the first date."

Originally, Tatiana didn't believe that Mason was a footballer so he invited her along to one of his training sessions.

“I didn’t believe him until I went to his first game," she said.

"On his profile he had no pictures of him in his uniform, so it threw me off.

"We asked each other about our jobs and he said soccer which I didn't know even know was a thing.

“It wasn’t even into football until I met Mason. I didn’t know that USA even had a soccer team.”

After making it official in February 2022, Mason proposed to Tatiana just three months after matching on Hinge.

The couple tied the knot on the January 13, 2023, in Okeechobee Florida , surrounded by their family and friends.

Soon after the wedding, Tatiana found herself thrust into the world of football and quit her job working in the military.

She said: "I would feel like it's hard being married to a footballer and there would be things I would change like the time you are away from one another.

"When I stopped working, the schedule was never easy.

"We couldn't go to any weddings or baby showers - we can't really do anything like that."

Tatiana said there is no rivalry between the WAGs in the US but says she is sure it is different between wives of American footballers.

She said: "If Mason played American Football it may be different.

"WAG culture is not as big over here.
