James Maddison has been nothing short of a revelation since he arrived at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Maddison has established himself as a firm fan favourite.

He is a delight to watch under Ange Postecoglou and if he carries on the way he’s going, he’ll be on his way to club legend status. He’ll need a couple of trophies under his belt first, however.

Maddison also seems like a top bloke when he’s not on the training ground. The England international really comes across well and has a plethora of hobbies aside from his beloved football.

Let’s get to know him. Here’s everything you need to know about Tottenham Hotspur‘s James Maddison.

James Maddison Age

James Maddison is currently 26 years of age, having been born on the 23rd of November 1996. Maddison was born and raised in Coventry, which is in the West Midlands of the United Kingdom.

Maddison’s age means he isn’t even in the prime of his career, so is going to remain excelling for years to come at Tottenham Hotspur.

James’ deep, passionate love for the beautiful game comes from his dad – Gary Maddison. He played semi-professional football for the likes of Halifax and Corby Town.

James has achieved a little more in a shorter time we would say!

James Maddison Girlfriend

Kennedy Alexa is the girlfriend of England ace James Maddison.

Alexa is a model for a living, with understandably a rather large Instagram following of over 60,000 followers. Mind you, that’s nothing compared to Maddison’s 1.8 million.

It is assumed the pair got together in 2020 when Alexa moved from the United States to be with James in the UK.

The couple now have three children together – including twins who were born just after Maddison’s move to North London.

Does James Maddison have a wife?

James Maddison does not yet have a wife but obviously has been with his partner for some time now. The pair have already had kids, so naturally a wedding would be the next step.

Could wedding bells be on the cards soon for Madders?

James Maddison & Darts Celebration

A match made in heaven. He loves his darts.

The reason for his celebration is not really a hidden meaning… he just absolutely loves the sport! He’s a regular at darts events and plays a lot himself.

“It was very much a topic of conversation and me and a few of the lads; Jamie Vardy, Luke Thomas and Harvey Barnes, we play darts all the time. I’ve got a board at home and I practice all the time!”

Now after his move to Tottenham – it appears he’s got the Spurs lads right on board with his trademark celebration.
