England footballers Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh have had fans in a frenzy both on and off the pitch for a number of years.
FC Barcelona defender Lucy, 33, and her midfield teammate, 28, will take on Spain in Sunday’s Euro 2025 final.
After losing their opening group stage against France, England roared back with wins over the Netherlands and Wales, before being taken to the brink by Sweden and Italy in the knockout rounds.
It could be an extra sweet victory for the Lionesses after being beaten by Spain in the World Cup two years ago.
Lucy became an MBE in 2023 for her services to football, following the Lionesses’ victory at Wembley over Germany in the Women’s Euros final.
Away from the pitch, Lucy was rumoured to be in a relationship with her England and Barcelona teammate Keira.
While the pair has never exclusively revealed their relationship status, they have appeared in several personal and intimate pictures together on Instagram.
More weight was added to the rumours when they both moved from Manchester City to Barcelona at the same time, during the summer of 2022.
Keira began her professional career at Blackburn Rovers, spending six years there as a youth player, before quickly moving to City – the club she supports.
They have remained private about their rumoured relationship but have posted pictures of themselves together more and more on Instagram over the last few years.
She’s appeared in several personal photos with Lucy, including a few sun-soaked beach snaps taken while the two were on holiday in Los Angeles in 2022.
Six years ago, they spent some time off in Lyon, where Lucy was playing at the time – she managed 83 appearances in total for the French champions.
However, it has since been speculated that the pair have split and Lucy is now dating Spanish footballer Ona Batlle.
They, again, have not publicly spoken about their rumoured relationship, but the pair posted a series of snaps together from a holiday before the tournament.
Posting some sun-soaked photos, Lucy captioned the post: ‘Few days of sun,’ while Ona responded with a heart-eyed face emoji.
Keira, meanwhile, has also been rumoured to be dating Austrian midfielder Laura Feiersinger.
