Life Journey

It is with great pleasure that WoodGram presents the entire story of a football genius popularly known as “Wee Man”.

A full account of notable events from Nathan Ake’s childhood to date along with the Biography gives you an insight into his childhood life.

The analysis of the former Chelsea and Manchester City star covers his life story before fame, family background, relationship life, and many other little-known facts about him that are off the pitch.

There is no doubt that everyone is familiar with his Rastafarian Dreadlocks. Despite Nathan Ake’s interesting bio, only a handful of people have looked at it. Now without further ado, let’s get started.

Daley Blind Biography, Age, Parents, Wife, Ajax, FIFA 22, Career, Net Worth & Wiki

In the first place, his full name is Nathan Benjamin Ake. He was born in The Hague, the Netherlands, on the 18th day of February 1995 to his Dutch mother, Ineke Telder, and his look-a-like father, Moise Ake, who are both from the Netherlands.

Nathan Ake is the son of an immigrant father who migrated from the Ivory Coast to the Netherlands in search of and to secure a better life for his unborn children.

He has a father, Moise Ake, who is a teetotal (someone who decides to abstain from alcohol entirely). Nathan Ake and his family have been praised for keeping grassroots football alive in their hometown of Voorburg, which is near The Hague in the Netherlands.

Nathan grew up in the Hague with his older brother, Cedric, who at the time of writing, works at the Chelsea FC Mega Store in the city. When Ake was a child, he was known for being a very shy kid.

The Hague, Netherlands, is where Ake grew up under the tutelage of his parents, who were largely involved in youth football management in the Hague.

Nathan Ake’s father works as the youth academy manager for the W Wilhelmus football academy, while his mother helps with food preparation for the same academy.

Moise Ake, Nathan Ake’s father, is a football academy coach and paved the way for his son’s involvement in football during his early years.

Nathan’s involvement in football could also be attributed to the fact that his mom cooks for other young footballers.

Wilhelmus, which is the oldest club in the region in which he lives, was founded by Catholic priests John van Houten and Wilhelmus van Stee.

During that time, Nathan Ake was one or two years younger than his teammates. Yet he was still one of the best players in the league. As far as the Wilhelmus youth team was concerned, he was one of the shortest.

In those days, every little boy in the neighborhood was captivated by the cub. For the little boys at Wilhelmus Academy, there was no emptiness as long as there was football at their feet. In Ake’s case, it was quite obvious from the very beginning that he had a bright future ahead of him.

In his early career, Ake began playing left wingbacks or left centerbacks, depending on the situation. One of the people who taught Ake to defend himself was his female trainer.

While he was playing for his hometown club Wilhelmus, Ado Den Haag, which is a big rivalry club between Ajax and Feyenoord, noticed Nathan Ake and took him to the trial.

With no time at all, Ake became the club’s best player. However, his only problem was the fact that he was too shy, especially when he approached the camera.

Nathan Ake, who grew up in ages with Ado Den Haag, was promised that if he never left the club he would get a fast track to the first team.

It is relevant to mention that Tim Krul and Daryl Janmaat are also members of the Den Haag Academy club.

After being promised a quick inclusion in the first team, Ake disappointed the club when he made his parents force him to leave the club at the age of 11 and after five years of staying.

The following year Nathan Ake joined Feyenoord for another five years (age 12 to 16) where he had a meteoric rise in the later years of his stay, a period where he almost reached the end of his youth academy career.

When Ake was 16 years old, he led his team to victory at the youth junior tournament.

Even so, at the age of 16, there was a high degree of uncertainty regarding whether or not he would stay at the club. At the time, a number of European clubs, including Chelsea FC, were interested in him. Once again, the teenager ended up giving his team another shocker.

The day after he was set to be accepted into Feyenoord’s senior team, Ake made up his mind by announcing boldly to legendary Dutch manager Leo Beenhakker, then Feyenoord’s technical director, that he would be leaving the club.

Nathan once reflected on his decision by saying the following:

In a situation like that, it was quite difficult for me to say something like that, but you just have to take the plunge and you will be stronger and grow up faster as a result.”

The 16-year-old Ake traveled alone to London to join the Chelsea youth system at the tender age of 16.

During Nathan Ake’s time at Chelsea, he faced new challenges in his career, but none were as big as having made the journey from the Netherlands to London at the age of sixteen. As they say, the rest is now history as they say.

It is said that behind every great man there is a great woman, or so the saying goes. A successful Ake is not complete without a glamorous wag or girlfriend, as can be seen in the case of Kaylee Ramman.

Nathan, who has known his childhood sweetheart since they played together on the playground, has seen the relationship move from best friends to true love.

Kaylee currently runs a jewelry business called Status Medal, with the assistance of her boyfriend as of the time this article was written. In addition to selling gold, Kaylee is also a travel blogger and she owns her own website where she writes about her adventures.

Without a doubt, her beautiful body and glorious curves are the main reason why she attracts so many admirers.

For Nathan Me and Kaylee Ramman, it would only be a matter of time before wedding bells would start ringing. The fact that Nathan Ake was born shy and quiet cannot be denied, but he can be very eccentric and energetic when he wants to be. In addition to being an intelligent person who enjoys helping others, he is also a deep thinker who enjoys working with his hands.

Ake is able to see things from all sides, without prejudice, and this makes him a good problem solver. Nathan knows how to adapt to the new environment he finds himself in wherever his career takes him.

It is quite common for him to spend time alone and away from everything, except for Kaylee Ramman, his girlfriend, at times. This process is done in order to restore his energy and refuel his love life. In Nathan Ake’s opinion, the world is a real place, a place filled with possibilities.

Matthijs de Ligt Biography, Age, Parents, Wife, Number, Career, Net Worth & Wiki

At one point Nathan Ake revealed that his father Moise Aké died “a few minutes after” seeing his son score their first Champions League goal.

After joining the club in 2020, the 26-year-old tallied the opening goal which culminated in a 6–3 win over RB Leipzig, which was his second goal for the club. RB Leipzig has posted its condolences on Twitter. Ake posted a picture on his Instagram account of his father dying after being diagnosed with a terminal illness.

The past few weeks have been the toughest of my life. My dad has been very ill and he was not able to undergo any further treatment. There was a lot of support from my fiancée, family, and friends, and I thank them for it.

This is how he put it;

“Yesterday after a difficult time I scored my first Champions League goal, and only a few minutes after he passed away peacefully with my mum and brother by his side. Maybe it was meant to be because watching me play has always made him happy and proud of me. There is no doubt in my mind you are always with me, you will always be in my heart, and this one is for you, dad.”

Chelsea FC loan players have a dedicated WhatsApp group where they share their experiences with one another. Nathan Ake has been very active in the group.

In the course of his loan spell at Reading, he joined the team. The same happened at Watford and AFC Bournemouth as well.

While many of the disgruntled Chelsea FC players have decided to delete themselves, Nathan is among the many others who have decided to stay. He is the most active in the group after every physical training.
