Ellie Watkins, wife of Al-Hilal and England striker Ollie Watkins, has left Saudi Arabia and returned to the United Kingdom with the couple's two young children following a series of deadly missile attacks that have rattled the region.

The family had relocated to Riyadh over the summer after Ollie Watkins completed a £51 million move from Aston Villa to Al-Hilal. That settled life abroad has been abruptly upended by a deteriorating security situation.

Missile strikes force airport closures

A Houthi missile strike on Riyadh's main airport killed 13 people, while a separate attack on King Fahd International Airport in Dammam claimed two more lives. The strikes prompted authorities to reduce flight schedules at major transit hubs across the country.

Ellie shares the news on TikTok

The 30-year-old shared an update with followers on TikTok, confirming she had brought five-year-old Amara and three-year-old Marley home to the UK.
