Everything You Need To Know About England Footballer Leah Williamson's Rumoured Partner Elle Smith
Now that the tournament has finished and Sarina Wiegman and the Lionesses have taken home the trophy for a second time in a row, fans want to know more about their personal lives. Here's everything we know about Elle Smith...
Ellen Elizabeth Smith, otherwise known as Elle, 27, is an American journalist and former Miss USA, a title she gained in 2021. Elle went on to represent the United States of America in the Miss Universe 2021 pageant, finishing in the top 10 the year India's Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu took the crown.
Elle Smith was born in Springfield Ohio, and is of mixed heritage.
Elle Smith is a model, represented by Wilhelmina Models in New York City.
Whilst not officially declaring girlfriend status the pair have been romantically linked since 2024. The 'couple' hard-launched in March of 2025 when Elle posted a video of her and Leah on a holiday in the ocean floating on a paddle board. The caption said: 'happy birthday to my love x,' with a fellow pageant star, Miss Kentucky Teen USA 2021 commenting 'finally. happy birthday!'
Since then, the appearances that Leah has made on Elle's Instagram might have cleared up any doubts on whether the pair are an item. In May 2025 Elle posted a picture of Leah on her lap celebrating England's 6-0 win against Portugal, with Leah in comments saying: 'We did it🥹🥹🥹'.
Most recently when England's Lionesses won the Women's Euros 2025 final, held in Basel, Switzerland, Elle Smith could be found hanging out in Leah's camp sporting a 'Live, Laugh, Leah,' t-shirt... it's giving supportive.

Lionesses star fined for driving offence days after winning the Euros with England
England and Manchester City goalkeeper Khiara Keating has been fined after being found guilty of driving without the correct tax just days after celebrating the Lionesses' Euro 2025 win Lionesses star Khiara Keating has been fined just days after she lifted the Euro 2025 title with England. Keating was part of the England squad that retained the Euros on Sunday by beating Spain on penalties in the final. However, just days after lifting the trophy in Basel, Keating was fined for not paying her car tax. On Wednesday, magistrates fined Keating £440 and ordered her to pay back duty of £79.17 and costs of £20 after she had been stopped for driving a Volkswagen Polo without the correct tax back in December. The 21-year-old did not attend Tameside Magistrates' court and the case was heard in her absence. Just a few weeks before the Euros began, Keating was cleared of drugs charges after Greater Manchester Police dropped them. Keating and her mother, Nicola, were charged last June with possession of the Class C drug nitrous oxide. They both pleaded not guilty and the charges were dropped in June. "I'm relieved the charges have been dropped — as I've always said, I did nothing wrong," Keating told the BBC. "It's been a difficult time, but I've always known the truth. Now I'm just looking forward to focusing fully on the Euros and spending time with my family." Keating did not play at the Euros with Hannah Hampton starring as first-choice goalkeeper, but she was an important part of the squad and was part of the jubilant celebrations that took place after they returned to the UK. A victory parade took place on Wednesday in front of more than 50,000 fans, with England captain Leah Williamson stating: "I'm holding back tears. I've been crying all down The Mall. "This is unbelievable, this is probably one of the best [things] we have ever been a part of, so thank you for coming out. "There are many ways to win a football match. And we repeatedly did it the hard way, but you can see how much we care about playing for England and how much we love it." Chloe Kelly added: "It feels so good to stand side by side with each and every one of these girls. It's so ******* special. It's incredible to stand here today with a winners' medal around our necks and I'm so proud to be English."
