Premier League Player's Wife No Longer Flying Under Radar After X-Rated Answer To Favorite Activity Question

Samantha Tarkowski has been in a relationship with Everton defender James Tarkowski since 2015.  During that time, she has somehow managed to fly under the radar - we're talking less than 4,000 followers on Instagram.

The two tied the knot in 2023, and she ended up being one of the five wives of soccer players selected to appear on Amazon's new reality-style documentary series Married To The Game, which is viewed on their streaming platform Prime Video.

The days of flying under the radar are now over for Samantha.  In the third episode of the series, the Tarkowskis host a wedding party for their family and friends.

During a moment on the couch together, the couple is asked what's their favorite thing to do together.  The answer was wisely clipped for a promo for the episode and helped to put Samantha on everyone's radar.

Samantha responded to the question with one of her own.  She asked, as she laughed, "What time is this show going out?"

To which James replied, "Past the watershed."  He then offered up "shagging" as the couple's favorite activity.  This could have easily been shot down by his wife, but she didn't do that.

There's No Stopping Samantha Tarkowski Now

Samantha leaned into the X-rated response and added to it.  She said, "Do you remember when we were younger, and we used to get in bed, and I was like ‘this is my favorite part of the day?’"

"Just getting in bed at the end of the day, just us two," she said.  "And then shagging.  No, I'm joking.  But I do quite like it…"

And just like that, an internet star is born.  The tabloids picked it up and ran with it.  Her content over on Instagram is slowly, but surely being discovered, and with that, her followers and likes are starting to grow.

The more camera time she sees on the show, the more people are going to want to know why she wasn't already a huge social media star.  There's no reason to crunch the numbers too long on that, she's on the radar now, and it's only a matter of time before she has a follower count rivaling her husband's 100k plus.
