The England women’s national football team, better known as the Lionesses, are defending their title as European champions this year after beating Italy in a tense semifinal match – but who are the partners they’ll be celebrating with if they win?
With standout performances from Chloe Kelly, Hannah Hampton, Leah Williamson, Michelle Agyemang, and just about every other member of the squad, this year’s Euros tournament has been a nail biter.
But what do we know about the Lionesses’ lives behind the scenes?
From Leah Williamson breaking her silence on the so-called Spanish “kiss-gate” scandal to Chloe Kelly looking “so beautiful” at her star-studded Cheshire marriage to Everton groundsman Scott Moore, here’s the lowdown on the Lionesses’ love lives.

Lionesses captain Leah Williamson
In May this year, Leah Williamson and the rest of Arsenal celebrated a remarkable win over Barcelona, getting their hands on the Champions League trophy for the second time.
Leah posted on social media that it was “Magic. Pure Magic. What a weekend, see you at the Emirates Gooners.”
Among those joining Leah in celebrating the win was American journalist and former Miss USA, Elle Smith. She shared a black-and-white photo of herself and Leah cosying up, trophy in hand, with four crown emojis. Rumours online – and social media comments on their posts – suggest they’re a couple.
Born 1998 in Springfield, Ohio, Elle studied at the University of Kentucky and earned the title of Miss USA in 2021. She was the vice president of her university’s National Association of Black Journalists chapter, and has worked as an on-air reporter for a regional TV station in Kentucky.
Chloe Kelly met her husband Scott Moore on the Everton grounds
As Chloe prepared to come off the bench in the Lionesses’ quarter-final against Sweden, the BBC cameras caught a glimpse of her shin pads. They feature a photo of her and her husband on their wedding day.
Chloe and Scott Moore first met while she was playing for Everton. He had a job as a groundsman, per the Sun, and sparks flew after she held a door open for him.
He went on to sent her a missive on Instagram, and one thing led to another.
They became engaged in December 2023, on a trip to Finnish Lapland, with the Northern Lights for a romantic backdrop.
Scott proposed during a private husky ride. She called it the “easiest yes ever”. They tied the knot at Merrydale Manor in Cheshire in July last year.
He still works as a greensman. But Chloe left Everton in 2020. She spent five years at Manchester City and joined Arsenal in 2025.
