ENGLAND’S Lionesses did their country proud – winning their opening Euros clash against Austria.
Beth Mead scored the only goal of the game to give us the perfect start.
But it wasn’t just football fans who were celebrating – the Lionesses’ partners would have been equally as buoyant in the stands or watching from their homes.
From childhood sweethearts to club team-mates, here’s the partners for England women’s national team.
Ellen White/Callum Convery
England’s goal-getter White is married to Callum – a former sports development officer for the Nottinghamshire Football Association.

Demi Stokes/Katie Harrington
Most read in Football
Man City star Stokes became a mum recently, when fiancee Katie gave birth to their first child.
Just two months ago, the NHS worker welcomed Harlen Harrington-Stokes, who was conceived by IVF.
But it wasn’t always easy.
Stokes revealed: “In our head, it was a case of: ‘we’re just going to go down to the clinic and then it will work and we’ll have a baby’… but it wasn’t as simple as that, and we had to learn.”
Alex Greenwood/Jack O’Connell
Greenwood, another City star, has dated long-term love Jack since they were at school.
They crossed paths at Savio Salesian College in Bootle, Merseyside before falling for each other.
Jack is a professional footballer too – and plays for Sheffield United in the Championship.
Alex is said to be the glamour puss of the Lionesses. She’s “very big into her heels, her dresses and her eyelashes,” according to Jordan Nobbs.
Mille Bright/Levi Crew
Chelsea centre-back Bright has been in a romance with Levi for a long, but unspecified, time.
He likes to keep himself to himself, with his Instagram account set to private.
Although he does reveal he is a performance-enhancing coach with his own business.
Last year, Bright called him her “King” in a gushing message on social media celebrating his 30th birthday.
Georgia Stanway/Olly Ashall-Bott
Bayern Munich star Stanway also dates a sports star – rugby league’s Ashall-Bott, who plays for Toulouse Olympique.
During lockdown, they admittedly got into fishing.
Olly said: “Literally within the second time of going, Georgia caught the biggest fish ever, she’s so competitive in everything she does.”
However, they have no plan of walking down the aisle just yet. Georgia said: “We’re enjoying each other’s company, we’re still young and just loving life. I’ve got trophies that I want to lift before I lift any children up.”
