England footballer Millie Bright has separated from her fiancé and has become involved with a married personal trainer.
The 31-year-old Lionesses defender withdrew from Euro 2025 this week, stating she was unable to “give 100 per cent mentally or physically.”
We can reveal she has split from her husband-to-be Levi Crew and has grown close to a fitness instructor.
It is understood he has now left his wife and is residing at Chelsea captain Millie`s luxurious house.
There is no suggestion that either of them was unfaithful to their partners.
Friends said Millie, who won Euro 2022 and captained England to the World Cup final in 2023, met the trainer last year after starting workouts at a gym in Redhill, Surrey.
Sources say she later developed a friendship with the married father, whom we are not identifying.
Earlier this year, she split from Levi, and the trainer “suddenly” separated from his wife.
A source told The Sun: “Millie`s surprising withdrawal from the England squad ahead of Euro 2025 left fans speechless.”
She has always loved playing for her country and spoke of her pride in doing so.
They added: “She has fallen for this guy significantly, and that has come with major sacrifices.
The consequences have been significant, but Millie has completely fallen for her ideal man.”
Other sources close to Millie emphasized that her withdrawal was solely based on her need for surgery to address a long-standing injury.
Millie and Levi shared a home in Surrey, and their families were close. In December 2023, she announced their engagement on social media, showing off her diamond ring on holiday in Mauritius.
She referred to Levi as her “king” who was with her “through thick and thin.”
She even has a tattoo of his eye on her arm, which has been prominently displayed in official squad photos.
However, fans noticed she had removed any mention of him from her social media accounts and deleted the engagement post.
Millie has undergone minor knee surgery after a stellar season with Chelsea, where the team won the treble and finished the domestic season unbeaten.
She stated that the decision to withdraw from the upcoming Euros in Switzerland “was not an easy one,” adding: “I just don`t feel 100 per cent mentally or physically in a position to go on and compete in a tournament.”
She aimed to “get myself back in tip-top condition and just happy again, I think, overall, just feeling like myself.”
England`s first game is against highly-rated France on July 5. Last night, a spokesman for Millie declined to comment.
