Lucy Bronze cosies up with Spain football star in Ibiza following Lionesses' Euro 2025 win
Lioness legend Lucy Bronze has been snapped cosying up with fellow footballer, Spanish international Ona Batlle. Just weeks ago they were fierce rivals, but this week the pair were seen wearing matching orange bikinis as they soaked up the sun in Ibiza.
Wearing matching snorkelling goggles, the pair enjoyed a dip in the Mediterranean Sea and were seen laughing together on a paddle board before rinsing each other off on the deck of a white yacht. Lucy, 33, from Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, is rumoured to have been dating Ona, 26, from Catalonia, for several years.
Although neither players have officially confirmed their relationship, they have shared cosy holiday snaps from a number of trips including one to Disneyland Paris in December 2024. And just weeks before the Women's European Championship in Switzerland kicked off last month, the pair shared photos from another sunny getaway in Altea, just five miles north of Benidorm.
When the Lionesses came from behind to beat Spain and take home the Euros trophy, Lucy was moved to tears as she was seen comforting Ona after the final whistle. It was a moment that echoed similar scenes following the World Cup final in 2023, when the heartbroken Lionesses lost 1-0 to Spain in Sydney, Australia.
Then Ona was the one who had held Lucy as she wept into her lap while sitting in the dugouts. The pair are thought to have grown close while playing together at Barcelona. And Lucy, who moved from Barcelona FC to Chelsea last year, was one of the first Lionesses to go over and comfort her former teammates following England's victory in July.
After their incredible Euros 25 campaign, several Lionesses have been enjoying some much deserved downtime. Among those who have also jetted out to Ibiza are Lauren James, Ella Toone and Ella's boyfriend Joe Bunney. Ella, 25, from Tyldesley, Greater Manchester and Joe shared loved-up snaps on Instagram of their trip to the San Antonio side of the island, where they visited Ocean Beach and super club Ushuaia.
The couple had joined Ella's teammate and best pal Alessia Russo, 26, and her Love Island star brother Giorgio to watch Oasis at Wembley before jetting off. Captain Leah Williamson flew stateside to watch a basketball game with her close friend and former Miss USA Elle Smith.
And England hero Chloe Kelly, 27, who scored the winning penalty in the final was given a heroes welcome when she returned to a street party with all her pals in West London. She was pictured alongside husband Scott Moore wearing a yellow Corteiz jersey - a London streetwear brand which the striker has enjoyed a number of collaborations with.

Everton ‘close in on Jack Grealish loan transfer with Toffees ready to pay huge portion of £300,000-a-week wages'
Grealish has been told he has no future at Manchester City Greal deal Everton 'close in on Jack Grealish loan transfer with Toffees ready to pay huge portion of £300,000-a-week wages' Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) EVERTON are closing in on a deal to land Jack Grealish on a season-long loan, reports suggest. Grealish, 29, has been deemed surplus to requirements by Pep Guardiola at Manchester City. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 3 Jack Grealish is closing on a loan transfer to Everton Credit: Getty 3 But after struggling for game time last season, the England international is hoping to reignite his club career to earn his place back in Thomas Tuchel's plans for the World Cup. And according to The Times, Grealish is closing in on a transfer to join David Moyes' Everton. One of the main issues has been the former Aston Villa star's £300,000-a-week wages - possibly amounting to a package worth at least £12million. However, the Toffees will not let that be a sticking point as talks have continued with the belief Grealish is willing to move. Grealish has struggled to contribute goals at City in the way he did with Aston Villa, often being used as a foil to bring the ball upfield and win fouls in the final third rather than as the primary attacking threat. But if David Moyes is willing to unleash him in the way the Villans did, Grealish may be able to return to the levels seen during his time in the West Hidlands. Man City left Grealish at home during the Club World Cup and repeated that act for a pre-season friendly today in Italy against Palmero. Guardiola fielded two completely teams across the halves of football as the Cityzens triumphed 3-0, courtesy of a 25th Erling Haaland strike and a second half brace from Tijjani Reijnders. BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK Everton have thus far signed five players this summer, including spending big money on Thierno Barry from Villarreal and Kiernan Dewsbury-Hall from Chelsea. They have also seen three bids, the latest of which came out to £37m including add-ons, rejected by Southampton for Tyler Dibling. Jack Grealish has gone from eye-catching showman and heartthrob to miserable bench warmer - and I know who's to blame The 19-year-old was left out of the Saints squad to face Wrexham in their Championship opener - which they won 2-1. Southampton countered by demanding a package of £45m plus £5m in add-ons and a 25 per cent sell-on clause. Everton open their season with an away trip to newly-promoted Leeds before hosting Brighton in their first competitive fixture at the new 52,000-capacity Hill Dickinson Stadium. Meanwhile, Man City travel to Wolves on the opening weekend before hosting Tottenham at the Etihad.

There is a strong possibility these sides will meet at Ashton Gate in Bristol for a World Cup this England side, bursting with physicality, confidence and a sense of destiny, chose this moment to register their biggest winning margin over the French for 30 matches, a run stretching back to 2009."What a psychological blow to Les Bleues that could be," Nick Heath, commentating on BBC iPlayer, said."You got the sense that was a demoralising defeat for the home side. John Mitchell's side have truly dispatched this France team."This XV which started at Stade Andre et Guy Boniface in Mont-de-Marsan is likely to be very similar to the one which commences the World Cup campaign in 13 days' time against the United States at the Stadium of Light in were 11 changes to the team which hammered Spain 97-7, including world player of the year Ellie Kildunne returning to the back was not able to add to a record of 14 tries in her last 10 Tests, but she showed moments that indicate why she could be the star of the World may still have decisions to make over his starting XV, with some big names missing and this match serving as a final audition for some and a dress rehearsal for others.

Only one of the six tries was scored by a back - centre Megan Jones. Given their wealth of riches in that area, they should produce of course we have been here before. During the last World Cup England were on a long winning run and reliant on tries scored via power, they will need to find other routes in August and are players to return.
