England footie ace Millie Bright's hunky new personal trainer lover revealed as kickboxer dad of SEVEN
THIS is the hunky personal trainer that England star Millie Bright has fallen for after splitting with her fiancee. We revealed on Saturday how Millie, 31, met the married father-of-seven last year when he became her PT at her local gym. 3 He can now be named as martial arts enthusiast Dave Zetolofsky, 39, and the pair's new romance has seen him move into her Surrey home. The Lioness World Cup captain last week devastated fans by making herself unavailable for this summer's Euro 2025 - stating she was unable to 'give 100% mentally or physically' for her country. The trophy-laden Chelsea star was in turmoil after splitting from fiancee Levi Crew and growing close to heavily tattooed Dave. However, she has told friends that her new romance is nothing to do with her withdrawing from the squad. There is also no suggestion that the pair cheated on their partners. However, their relationship has 'devastated' the hunk's wife Katie, who gave birth to their baby last January. Millie will today receive an OBE at Windsor Castle to recognise her incredible contrition to sport in this country. Pals said Millie, 31, began training at the 21st Century Combat gym in Redhill, Surrey, where she met fighter Dave. The beefcake is still co-owner of the fitness hub with his wife Katie, despite their sudden marriage split. Sources say Three Lions icon Millie joined a PT group in February this year and 'began flirting' with Dave - a former pro kick-boxer. England football ace Millie Bright leaves fiancé & falls for married personal trainer 'in a big way' They 'got more serious' after Millie ended things with Levi, and Dave split from Katie 'out of the blue'. Friends claimed Millie paid for Dave, an expert in Muay Thai - a full contact combat martial art - to stay in hotels after he walked out of the family home. And shortly afterwards Dave was seen at Millie's luxury pad on a private road in Surrey, leaving his five-month-old baby with devastated Katie. A source said: 'Their relationship is no secret and they've even been seen out and about together and in the gym together. 'I think you can understand that Katie has found the whole thing pretty devastating. 'The fall-out has been enormous, but Millie has fallen hook, line and sinker for this guy.' Millie, who has won a staggering 19 gongs during her career with the Blues, declared herself 'not happy' before pulling out of the England squad for the tournament in Switzerland earlier this week. The England squad will begin their tournament preparations on June 16, and kick-off against much fancied France on July 5. 3

Aaron Hill loving Fergal O'Brien link-up as he sets sights on snooker's elite
Things are going in the right direction for Aaron Hill (Picture: Getty Images) Aaron Hill is impressively climbing snooker's greasy pole and feels he has struck upon the formula that will take him to the top. The Irishman famously made a splash as a teenager when he beat Ronnie O'Sullivan in a ranking event and while that didn't catapult him to instant success, progress has been slow and steady since then. Still just 23 years old, Hill is at his highest ranking of 50 in the world and feels increasingly confident in his game. Five years as a professional already behind him, excellent practice partners and a link-up with Fergal O'Brien as his coach are all behind his encouraging improvement. 'I think I've developed as a player in the last couple of seasons, experience is massive,' Hill told Metro. 'I'm in a lot of situations that I can deal with better these days. 'My practice as well has been brilliant. I've been playing quite a bit with Mark Allen, Jordan Brown and Robbie McGuigan up in the Antrim Sports Club. Big shout out to the Antrim Sports Club because my game has come on a lot since I've practised with those boys. 'And starting work with Fergal O'Brien as well last year. We had a great season together, I loved it and I'm looking forward for next season with him.' Hill is Ireland's great hope on the snooker table (Picture: Getty Images) O'Brien was a pro for 33 years, a ranking event winner, Masters finalist and famously an intense competitor who was fiercely difficult to beat. Also a brilliant guy, who his student is delighted to get to spend time with. 'He's great,' said Hill. 'It's exactly who I wanted in my corner, whatever kind of question I have he's going to have the answer to because he's been through it all. 'And we get on great together as well, you know, we're great buddies so it's brilliant.' On O'Brien's never-say-die, scrape-him-off-the-table attitude, Hill says: 'That's an inspirational way to be, you need to be like that on the table. You need to be tough as nails out there because there's no one else can pot the balls for you. You need to be tough and hard. Then he just switches it off when he's off the table. 'Having Fergal is just unreal. He's one of the most experienced players in the game so when you're around a fella like him, it can only improve your game and your mental strength.' Fergal O'Brien is an incredible source of knowledge and support (Picture: Getty Images) An experienced veteran may be the ideal person to have in your corner, but having anyone at all is a plus because the tour can be a lonely, difficult place. Something Hill discovered in his first couple of seasons as a professional. 'It's tough on your own,' he said. 'The first couple of years of my own were not that much fun. You need someone in your corner. I was trying to find the right person and he retired at just the right time. It was written in the stars.' Those tricky first couple of years saw Hill very briefly drop off tour in 2022, but he immediately regained his place at Q School, returning with a stronger mentality that continues to improve as his passion for the game only grows. 'It is tough and hard at times, especially when you're young and you're travelling on your own, but I wouldn't rather be doing anything else. If I won the Lotto in the morning I'd still play snooker. Hill will hope to better his best ranking run of a quarter-final this season (Picture: Getty Images) 'I love the game, I love competing and love winning. I'm holding goals high up in the sky for myself now, to start winning trophies. I love what I do. Those hard times at the start, and still some now, they're all worth it in the end when when it comes good. 'Every season for me so far has been my best season, I've been progressing every year. It's going in the right direction and I feel like I've a lot more to offer. 'I want to keep pushing on. It would be nice to get in the top 32 next and then we'd push for the top 16.' Aaron Hill's biggest wins 10-5 Anthony McGill – 2025 World Championship qualifying 5-2 Mark Williams – 2025 German Masters 4-3 Ding Junhui – 2024 British Open 4-2 Mark Selby – 2024 Welsh Open 4-1 Judd Trump – 2022 Northern Ireland Open 5-4 Zhao Xintong – 2021 European Masters 5-4 Ronnie O'Sullivan – 2020 European Masters Hill displays a really impressive attitude, thinking positively and purposefully, with even one of the more stinging defeats of his career not getting him down too much. He was one win away from a Crucible debut in April and led Dave Gilbert 7-3 only to be pipped 10-9 and miss out on a first trip to snooker's most famous venue. 'I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt, but I got over it fairly quick and took a lot of positives from that week. 'It's been taking good performances all season to beat me and Dave did well to come back, I didn't put it on a plate for him, hats off to him. 'I can't be dwelling on it and just have to keep moving on and in the right direction and take all the positives. One frame away from the Crucible, one of my biggest dreams to get there, so I'm not too far away.' Hill will undoubtedly get there at some point, with snooker lucky to have attracted the talents of someone who describes himself as 'handy' at football, hurling, Gaelic football, boxing and basketball when he was growing up. 'Snooker came last and that's what I stuck with,' he explains. With the Crucible's current contract to hold the World Championship only running until 2027, Hill may not have long to fulfil his dream, but he is not just talking about appearing at the Sheffield theatre, but lifting the trophy in the iconic building. 'I'd be gutted if it moved and I didn't play there once,' he said. 'Give me a chance to play there before it moves at least, you know, and once I play there and hopefully win it, they can move it to wherever they want.' Aaron Hill sends his thanks to sponsors Singleton SuperValu, Holly the Crucible Snooker Club in Cork.

EXCLUSIVE The hunky father of seven personal trainer who has moved in with England star Millie Bright after she pulled out of Euro 2025
England football star Millie Bright has moved on from breaking up with her fiance - by starting a new relationship with a hunky personal trainer, MailOnline can reveal. The Lionesses defender, who last week dramatically pulled out of Euro 2025, has been dating father-of-seven David Zetolofsky, 39, for several months. Chelsea ace Millie, who is now recovering from a knee op, said that she had decided to withdraw from the England squad because she was unable to 'give 100 percent mentally or physically' in the upcoming tournament. Behind the scenes however, 31-year-old Millie has been consoling herself over her Euros disappointment by taking her relationship with the buff trainer up a level - with him now moving in, friends say. The Chelsea star met Mr Zetolofsky at a Surrey gym which he both owns and works in as a fitness coach - and where she regularly works out. They met after Millie was newly single after her engagement to previous partner Levi Crow - also a fitness coach - didn't work out. Mr Zetolofsky was also freshly back on the dating scene after his marriage to the mother of his seven children broke up shortly before he met Millie Mr Zetolofsky and Millie are understood to have grown increasingly close after his marriage break up and her split from American born fitness coach Levi culminating in him asking her out. There is no suggestion either Millie or David cheated on their previous partners and indeed they are not thought to have even spoken until they were both single. Mr Zetolofsky runs the popular gym in Redhill, Surrey, which is just a stone's throw from the £400,000 new-build end-of-terrace home where he now lives with Millie after her fiance moved out some months earlier. Their relationship since has been the talk of the gym where she is the most famous client and he the high profile owner. A source said: 'The relationship between Millie and Dave is the talk of the gym – everyone knows about it. 'They have got very serious very quickly. They were both getting over failed relationships when they met and obviously really clicked. 'Since then things have accelerated very quickly. They are spending a lot of time with each other and now David has now even moved in. 'They seem really happy together - they're into each other big time.' Mr Zetolofsky's wife Katie, who is also a director at the gym the former couple own together, has remained in the family home. Levi Crow meanwhile is understood to have moved to Dubai to begin a new life there without Millie. Millie's break up with Levi had stunned those that knew them. As well as the couple themselves their families were said to have been close. Millie and Levi had moved in together to a home they were very proud of in Surrey. And this period culminated in December 2023 when Levi romantically proposed during a dream winter holiday to Mauritius. Millie couldn't wait to announce the engagement to fans, posting a picture of her flashing a diamond engagement ring, writing: 'Little did I think this would be the most beautiful Christmas in my entire life… I said YES after the shock had settled and Levi reminded me yes or no.' Addressing her now fiance she added: 'You was already my person but here's to the future bubba. I love you.' She has also 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 shown prominently in official squad photos. But 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, winning the treble and finishing unbeaten domestically. Explaining her decision to miss the Euros, she said: 'Ultimately, I thought this was the best decision for the team, but also for myself and using this summer to really just zone into mentally, physically, getting myself back in tip-top condition and just happy again, I think, all round, just feeling like myself. 'So yeah, it's obviously hard, but I'm going to be the girls' number one supporter and I know they're going to go on and smash it.' On her social media she has made no mention of Zetolofsky and on Monday posted an image of her knee in a brace as she watched TV and played Crash Bandicoot. She later posted an image of a flower with the caption:' You are so worthy of the love you keep giving everyone else.' Millie became the third player to withdraw from Sarina Wiegman's Euro plan. Former England No1 Mary Earps announced that she was retiring from international football in bombshell news last week, with Wiegman believed to have been caught off-guard by the decision. And long-time England star and Bright's former Chelsea team-mate Fran Kirby also announced her retirement, three years on from starting in all six of the Lionesses' games on the road to their Euro 2022 triumph.
