England Lioness Millie Bright has announced her engagement following a romantic Christmas proposal.
The football star, 30, is in a relationship with Levi Crew, an online athletics coach.
Announcing that they are soon to be husband and wife, an excited Millie showed off her dazzling ring.
The Chelsea captain described this year’s festivities as ‘the most beautiful Christmas’, with her other half getting down on one knee on the sunny Mauritius Island.
‘Little did I think this would be the most beautiful Christmas in my entire life…’, she wrote on Instagram.
‘I said YES 💍😍 after the shock had settled and Levi reminded me yes or no😂

The photos Millie posted radiated joy, as she held up her new sparkling jewellery to the camera with a beaming expression.
Millie and Levi later celebrated their happy news with cocktails in sunnier climates than most will have spent their Christmas in.
She was inundated with congratulatory wishes, with Marvin Humes commenting: ‘Congratulations guys! Amazing! 💙’

Millie and American fitness expert Levi have been dating since at least 2020, with her previously referring to him as her ‘one and only’.
At the beginning of their romance, the Covid-19 pandemic kept them apart but, after surviving long-distance, Levi moved to the UK and is now based in England with his wife-to-be.
It’s believed that the couple share a home in Surrey.
And that’s not all, as the sweet pair also have two French Bulldogs called Zeus and Hera, named after two Greek gods.
The Lioness and her personal trainer fiancé are incredibly supportive of one another’s careers, with Millie having even filmed some online promotional content for Levi’s company.

Reciprocating the love, in the wake of the Lionesses’ semi-final triumph against Australia, Levi previously shared a snap of them together and wrote of how ‘proud’ he was.
‘I think proud is an understatement!’ he said. ‘What a job you have done this tournament! One more game to go 💚’
Millie has taken things one step further than an Instagram caption, however, and has a tattooed dedicated to Levi.
The sporting favourite boasts ink of Levi’s eye on her left forearm, with the design also featuring half a tiger.
‘It’s my partner’s eye and half a tiger, my core strength with me through thick and thin,’ she previously told SunSport of the tattoo.
