Meet the ‘BAPs' cheering on England's Lionesses in the Euros… from newlyweds who had IKEA first date to on-pitch rivals

THREE years on since they roared to victory in the Euros, England's Lionesses are hoping to retain their crown. The team take on France in their opening match on Saturday night in Zurich, before facing the Netherlands on Wednesday. 21 21 21 Once more the nation will be cheering on our girls - and no one more passionately than their BAPS - that's boyfriends and partners. Here we reveal the proud other halves of England's Lionesses. Alex Greenwood and Jack O'Connell Man City fullback Alex, 31, one of England's most experienced players, is also known as the glamour puss of the Lionesses. She is dating fellow footballer Jack O'Connell, 31, who played for Sheffield United. The couple both grew up in Merseyside and are childhood sweethearts, having met at Savio Salesian College in Bootle. Sadly Jack had to call time on his sporting career in 2023 aged just 29 due to a knee injury. He shared an emotional message on social media announcing his retirement, and paid tribute to his supportive girlfriend. Jack wrote: "To partner Alex, who has given me support through my lowest moments. "She is a supremely talented footballer and it has been a great consolation to be able to watch her career go from strength to strength. "I am her biggest fan.' 21 Inside England Lionesses' luxury Euro 2025 hotel with butler service, stunning pool and 2 Michelin star restaurant Chloe Kelly and Scott Moore 21 21 21 Man City ace Chloe, 26, from Hanwell, west London, married Scott Moore, a greenkeeper, on a stunning country estate in Cheshire last July, with Chloe's teammates Ruby Mace and Steph Houghton as bridesmaids. Chloe stunned in a sheer lace Galia Lahav bridal gown and matching veil for the ceremony which she teamed with Jimmy Choo shoes. Chloe's dogs Otis and Rolo also joined the couple on their big day and were suitably dressed in tuxedos. The couple met while Scott was working as a groundsman at Everton while she was playing there. She recalled: "One day I held the door for him, and ever since that day he kept saying he was going to message me. When he did slide into my DMs I didn't see it for ages, because it was in my requests folder, and then when I did see it I was like, 'Who is this?' "But when I saw a few people that I knew had followed him, I realised, I must know him." The lovebirds had their first date at IKEA as Chloe was moving home at the time, and have been inseparable ever since. Scott proposed in December 2023 during a trip to Lapland and reportedly caught Chloe totally off-guard. She said: 'It was such a surprise for me, despite all the clues he gave me. Before we went out on the husky ride he played all the songs that we'd always said that we'd play at our wedding. "When we were going through the snow, he said, 'Oh it looks like diamonds.' I should have known!' Beth Mead and Vivianne Miedema 21 Arsenal forward Beth, 28, has been dating her Dutch teammate Vivianne Miedema, also 28, since 2022. And the couple, who share a cocker spaniel called Myle, will face their biggest challenge yet when they face each other in the group stages of the tournament. Vivianne has been selected for the Netherlands' squad - making this her third European Championships. Beth told the BBC: "It was inevitable. When the [Euros] draw was made, we both sat there and said, 'Of course that's happened!'" She added that while they keep in regular contact, when it comes to the clash the topic of football is off the table. "When it gets closer to our games, we don't talk football whatsoever," Beth said. "Obviously we want each other to do well but not against each other!" Beth has previously been in relationships with Liverpool goalie Rachael Laws when at Sunderland, and Dutch player Danielle van de Donk. Lotte Wubben-Moy and Tao Geoghegan Hart 21 21 Arsenal defender, Lotte, 26, is in a relationship with Tao Geoghegan Hart, 30, a British cyclist who currently rides for UCI World Team Ineos Grenadiers. Tao was also the winner of the 2020 Giro d'Italia, taking the pink jersey following the final day time-trial and becoming the first winner in the history of the Giro never to wear the maglia rosa until he had won it outright. Lotte and Tao went public with their relationship in March 2021 and have since shared lots of adorable pics together. The couple both grew up in East London and attended Stoke Newington School. Lotte is half Dutch and fluent in the language. Her dad is Antonius Wubben, the Dutch owner of Kaizen Furniture Makers. In January she dedicated an Instagram post to her boyfriend ahead of his racing season, writing in Dutch: "I love you. We love you." Ella Toone and Joe Bunney 21 21 Manchester United midfielder Ella, 25, is dating Joe Bunney, 31, who, awkwardly, is a devoted Manchester City fan. However Joe maintains he is Ella's "biggest cheerleader", with a source previously telling The Sun: " Ella and Joe are very much in love and have been together for a while now. "They are both from Manchester and have mutual friends who introduced them. Those who know them think they are the perfect pairing." Joe, who has two children from a previous relationship, is also a footballer and currently plays for Stalybridge Celtic. Ella's other half made headlines in March after Corrie star Ryan Prescott sued him for branding him "disgusting" on Instagram. Joe Bunney accused Ryan and actress partner Amy Lythgoe of squatting in a flat they rent from him last June. The former Bolton Wanderers player, 31, said the tenancy is up and he wants to move in his widowed grandad, 78, who had been left homeless. Ryan, 36, who plays Ryan Connor on the soap, and Amy, 30, deny the claims and have filed a £60,000 libel and defamation lawsuit at the High Court. They claim Joe's post, which was widely circulated before it was deleted, had a devastating impact. Jess Carter and Ann-Katrin Berger 21 21 Gotham defender Jess, 27, has been in a relationship with German goalie Ann-Katrin Berger since 2017. The pair first met while signed for Birmingham City in 2016, and they also played together at Chelsea three years later. Ann-Katrin, 34, recalled thinking Jess was "arrogant" when they first met, but they went on to become housemates and good friends before things became romantic between them. Jess said: 'I had broken up with my boyfriend when I moved in, but as far as I knew I was straight." In August 2017 Ann-Katrin took Jess out for a dinner date, and a few days later they were chilling at home when she went in for a kiss. Ann-Katrin said: 'I was quite nervous because I didn't know what her reaction would be. I always knew she was quite an open person, and she'd never ruled out being with a woman. "At the same time, I heard her talk about guys, so I wasn't sure.' Initially they dismissed the kiss, but it didn't take long before they gave in to their feelings for each other. Shortly after becoming a couple Ann-Katrin underwent treatment for thyroid cancer. She battled the illness again in 2022, with Jess by her side. In May last year the pair announced their engagement with a social media post that read: "7 years down forever to go." It came two months after former Chelsea manager Emma Hayes, who left the Blues to manage the US women's national team, claimed player relationships were "inappropriate". In response, Jess liked a series of posts on X, formerly known as Twitter, including one which described Emma's comments as "beyond bonkers". Emma has since backtracked on her claims, admitting she'd "let herself down", and cleared the air with Jess.

Throughout his glittering career, he also took home 77 singles and 72 doubles tournament victories. McEnroe was ranked world No. 1 in both disciplines, compiling an unbelievable 877-198 (win-loss) career record in singles and 532-103 in doubles. His combined 149 titles still holds the record as the most in the Open Era. During the 1979 season, he won an astonishing 10 singles and 16 doubles titles. Prize money McEnroe's official career prize money stands at £10 million ($12,552,132). This was a record sum for his era and a testament to his on-court dominance. However, the bulk of his fortune was not made through his prize money, but instead a combination of endorsements, media work and real estate investments. After retiring from professional tennis, McEnroe became one of the most sought-after tennis commentators in the world. His work with the BBC, especially during Wimbledon, is particularly lucrative. 'Hasn't done a damn thing' says John McEnroe in epic four-minute rant as Wimbledon icon reacts to Novak Djokovic 'boo' row The public broadcaster's full list of salaries of people earning more than £178,000 for the 2023/24 financial was made public.

His reported annual income from commentating is estimated to be around £7.3 million ($10 million). Businessman McEnroe's financial portfolio extends beyond tennis and broadcasting. 4 He's been involved in a variety of business ventures, including owning an art gallery in Manhattan since the early 1990s.

He and his wife, American singer-songwriter and musician Patty Smyth, have invested heavily in high-end real estate. Their properties include a £15.4 million ($21 million) oceanfront home in Malibu's Paradise Cove and a property they bought in the Hamptons for £3.1 million ($4.2million) back in 1999, per Tennis 365. What is John McEnroe's net worth? In addition to his business and media activities, McEnroe has appeared in many TV shows, documentaries, and even a Netflix series. He's the narrator of Never Have I Ever (2020-23) — a coming-of-age comedy about an Indian-American teenager, further increasing his public profile and wealth. As of July 4, 2025, John McEnroe 's net worth is estimated to be in the region £73.1 million ($100 million).

Shop the end of summer sales like a pro, with savings as big as £397.50

WHETHER you are looking for great deals on luxury items or just want to save a few quid on your last-minute holiday wardrobe, we have you covered. High-street sales are the perfect way to nab a designer buy for a more purse-friendly price. In fact, the only time I treat myself to a designer item is if it has been slashed in price in the sales. Follow these top tips to make sure you are a clever sales shopper, sticking to a plan rather than going rogue and buying something you never wear! Shopping for your signature style in the sales will save you time and money AND help you build a classic curated wardrobe. Online Vs in store I prefer online shopping in the sales for many reasons. Online takes all of the stress out of rummaging through sales rails looking for your size, only to find that it isn't there. Carefully filter everything you are looking for, applying the correct sizes, brands, category, colours and price to find your perfect piece and save you hours. I am less likely to panic buy something online than I am in store (step forward the Sando sheepskin coat that I can't wear because I am petrified I will ruin it in the rain!). Quite often, I have had my eye on something in store earlier in the season, so I know how it fits, that the fabric is good quality and that it is something I need - and have waited patiently all season for it to be reduced. This is the best way to curate a considered wardrobe rather than give yourself a quick shopping fix, and that way I know I will love the piece for years to come. Look for brands with the most discount on sites like and and go for items that will take you through to Autumn like statement knits, leather loafers and gorgeous dresses. Jumper- Buy Now Dress - BUY NOW 25 Loafers - BUY NOW Last-minute holiday bargains I also look for buys that will top up my existing holiday wardrobe. I may take most of the same old stuff on hols every year, but a couple of top-up bits can make my wardrobe feel all sparkly and new again. So a swimsuit that fits well, a new bag or pair of sandals and one new dress or co-ord are all I need each year. Swimwear quite often sells out in the most popular sizes, but this swimsuit by Hunza G is one size fits all - which makes it the most liberating swimwear label of all time! Another top tip is to look on sale sites all year round - sells off Net-a- Porter sale pieces for a fraction of the price 25 Swimsuit - BUY NOW Sandals - BUY NOW Dress - BUY NOW Look for clothes that whisper not scream If something has been a huge Instagram trend - like cow print, jelly shoes or bubble skirts - then they are probably going to be a one-trick style pony, so you should steer clear when buying in the sales, as the trend will likely disappear as quickly as it started. Instead, look for items that you will reach for again and again, and will have longevity in your wardrobe. Go for classics that won't date: a well-cut coat, a pair of tailored shorts or an Oxford shirt, for example These items are wardrobe staples that will work hard and stand the test of time. Coat - BUY NOW Shorts - BUY NOW Shirt - BUY NOW Think outside of the season Shops often put past season's clothes onto sale rails so, even if it is absolutely sweltering outside and all you can think about is summer dresses, don't rule out great bargains like cashmere, coats and boots. If you do your research you can see what trends from last winter are still doing the rounds for Autumn/Winter '25. This year I will be looking for a designer quilted coat, leather knee boots and lightweight cashmere jumpers. Forward planning like this can save you a fortune! Coat - BUY NOW Coat - BUY NOW 25 Jumper - BUY NOW 25 Boots - BUY NOW What is your luxury item? Luxury materials like leather, suede and cashmere are always good sale investments - anything over 30% off on them is a real treat! But don't go for anything crazy - a rainbow-stripe cashmere dress is probably not going to leave your wardrobe that often! Black leather trousers, a designer bag or a brown suede jacket are great sale buys. Trousers - BUY NOW Jacket - BUY NOW Bag - BUY NOW Be practical I always look for practical pieces that are useful in everyday life, but they still need to be stylish, too - think: a waterproof dog-walking coat but make it fashion, a pair of great training leggings that give your squat the edge, or a pair of walking boots that will incentivise you to take that hike. When looking for practical pieces, I like to go to the specialist brands, like Barbour, Lululemon and Salomon, who do what they say on the tin. 25 Coat - BUY NOW Leggings - BUY NOW Boots - BUY NOW Who, what, where? Finally, I always ask myself these three questions. Who am I buying this for? If it is to impress other people, get a reaction on social media or I'm trying to look like someone else, then I normally have a word with myself and step away, especially if it is a designer piece. Invest in yourself, and make sure the item suits your style. I have made huge mistakes in the past trying to look like someone whose style I admire, only to find the sale piece lying dormant in my wardrobe with its hefty price tag still attached, because it just doesn't suit me. These are sale items that are currently bringing me joy because they are so me! 25 Trainers - BUY NOW Bag - BUY NOW What am I buying this for? Is there a gap in my wardrobe for this kind of item or do I already have something similar? I tend to be a repeat buyer, so I have to really think about whether it is worth investing in another piece of tailoring, for example. Think about something you seem to reach for every time you open your wardrobe but don't have covered. For me that is a 'nice top' to wear with jeans or a pair of dressy shoes that don't have a heel. Top - BUY NOW Shoes - BUY NOW Where am I wearing this piece? Is it for a special occasion? If so, think about rental as an alternative. Quite often, we now wear special-occasion pieces just a few times, so price per wear we don't get our money's worth. If it is a great work suit, a trench coat or a day dress that you know you will go to over and over again then nab yourself that bargain! 25 Waistcoat - BUY NOW Trousers - BUY NOW You can quite often get a 'new with tags' piece for cheaper than in the sales… Happy shopping! What's the best style that suits everyone? ACCORDING to the fashion pros at Fabulous, there's a new style of dress that suits all body shapes. Low-slung, dropped-waist silhouette styles have surged, thanks to the Noughties fashion trend that has swept the catwalks, social media and, of course, the high street. First seen on the runways of luxury labels Molly Goddard and Jil Sander, the style typically cinches around the hip and pelvic area rather than the waist. Now a plethora of more affordable options of the dress that suits a number of body shapes have dropped just as the sun starts to come out. Clemmie Fieldsend, Fashion Editor, said: "There's something so stylish about these dresses, and I love them. "The simplicity of the top half teamed with the full skirt is like a sleeker and more grown-up tutu. "I have a short torso so the dropped waist makes my body look longer, but, thankfully, the long skirt means your legs don't look shorter. "Plus it means I can tap into the low-waist trend without baring all in a pair of low-slung jeans. "I know I'll be living in mine all summer, paired with black sandals and sunnies, but for now all I need is a blazer slipped over the top and a closed-toe shoe and I'm ready to go." Meanwhile, Fashion Director, Tracey Lea Sayer, added: "I remember dropped-waist dresses from the 80s. I loved them then and I still love them again now! "Forty years on from when they were first popular and I am not so sure they will be quite as flattering around my middle, because two kids and middle-aged spread later, my waist doesn't exist any more. "With a dress like this I can disguise my middle bit and still feel on trend for summer."
