Inside Lionesses teammates Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh's ‘romance'
England footballers Lucy Bronze and Keira Walsh have had fans in a frenzy both on and off the pitch for a number of years. FC Barcelona defender Lucy, 33, and her midfield teammate, 28, will take on Spain in Sunday's Euro 2025 final. After losing their opening group stage against France, England roared back with wins over the Netherlands and Wales, before being taken to the brink by Sweden and Italy in the knockout rounds. It could be an extra sweet victory for the Lionesses after being beaten by Spain in the World Cup two years ago. Lucy became an MBE in 2023 for her services to football, following the Lionesses' victory at Wembley over Germany in the Women's Euros final. Away from the pitch, Lucy was rumoured to be in a relationship with her England and Barcelona teammate Keira. While the pair has never exclusively revealed their relationship status, they have appeared in several personal and intimate pictures together on Instagram. More weight was added to the rumours when they both moved from Manchester City to Barcelona at the same time, during the summer of 2022. Keira began her professional career at Blackburn Rovers, spending six years there as a youth player, before quickly moving to City – the club she supports. They have remained private about their rumoured relationship but have posted pictures of themselves together more and more on Instagram over the last few years. She's appeared in several personal photos with Lucy, including a few sun-soaked beach snaps taken while the two were on holiday in Los Angeles in 2022. Six years ago, they spent some time off in Lyon, where Lucy was playing at the time – she managed 83 appearances in total for the French champions. More Trending However, it has since been speculated that the pair have split and Lucy is now dating Spanish footballer Ona Batlle. They, again, have not publicly spoken about their rumoured relationship, but the pair posted a series of snaps together from a holiday before the tournament. Posting some sun-soaked photos, Lucy captioned the post: 'Few days of sun,' while Ona responded with a heart-eyed face emoji. Keira, meanwhile, has also been rumoured to be dating Austrian midfielder Laura Feiersinger. Got a story?

Boygenius singer offers to MARRY fans at her shows - and she has already been officiated
Boygenius star Lucy Dacus has shared her unusual plans to officiate fans' weddings during her upcoming North American tour. The American singer-songwriter, 30, will kickstart her solo Forever Is A Feeling tour, named after her fourth studio album, on Friday, July 25, at Philadelphia's FDR Park. However, there might be some twists in store during her shows as Lucy revealed she is willing to hold legal weddings for any fans in attendance. Taking to X - formerly known as Twitter - Lucy revealed she has already been officiated so has the legal power to marry couples during her concerts. She wrote on X: 'If I figure out a way to marry people at my shows, are there people who would be interested? 'Just thinking about how there may be many people looking to secure those rights asap for whatever reason (!) or maybe money or logistics are getting in the way – would do this for free.' After fans appeared to jump at her suggestion, Lucy then shared more details on how the concert ceremonies could work as she went full steam ahead with her plans. Sharing a link to her website, she added: 'I'm officiated in the U.S., only a few cities on this tour may not be possible, all the info is at the website, including how to get your marriage license by state. '(Seems like it will be pretty easy, you'll just need to bring your marriage license to the box office and we'll return it by the end of the show.) 'I can think of all sorts of reasons people may be interested in securing the rights granted through marriage (you know what I mean?), so if you've had it in mind forever or are just recently making the decision, I will be honored to do the honors!' Lucy is touring solo rather than with her Boygenius' bandmates Phoebe Bridgers and Julien Baker, and will first take to the stage in Philadelphia on Friday night. She will then make stops in Columbus, Milwaukee, Detroit, Lewiston, Montreal, Portland, Boise, Vancouver, Berkeley, San Diego, Phoenix, Abiquiu, and Oklahoma City. Lucy will conclude her tour on September 27 with a final show at All Things Go Music Festival, Columbia, MD. The news comes after Lucy confirmed to People that she is the 'Lucy' in Taylor Swift's 2024 song, The Tortured Poets Department. The 30-year-old revealed Taylor, 35, sought her 'approval' to include her name in the song via a text message. T he song is believed to allude to Taylor's ex Matty Healy, 35, who runs in the same circles as Lucy. 'I think it's fair game to say ''yes'',' Lucy, who is friends with Matty, said. 'She actually texted me and asked for my approval.' The lyrics are: 'Sometimes, I wonder if you're gonna screw this up with me/But you told Lucy you'd kill yourself if I ever leave/And I had said that to Jack about you, so I felt seen /Everyone we know understands why it's meant to be / 'Cause we're crazy.' Lucy admitted it was an odd experience hearing the superstar say her name in the track. 'This is the first Taylor record to come out since meeting her, and listening to a friend's record feels so much different than a stranger's record,' she explained of listening to the song for the first time. 'So I was like, 'This is really weird. This voice that I've heard basically what feels like my whole waking life saying my name.' Fans have already suspected she was the sung-about 'Lucy'. Matty, who briefly dated Taylor following her split from Joe Alwyn, is known to move in the same circles as Lucy, as he's friends with her Boygenius bandmate Phoebe Bridgers, 30. While they reportedly had a good relationship in the past, Lucy now shares a distain for Matty after a heated Twitter spat in September 2023. Referencing Lucy and Phoebe's indie group, Matty posted: 'I told Lucy Dacus that 'Boygenius' had inspired me and George [Daniel] to start a new band called 'Girlr*****'. I don't really hear from her that often.' Amid disgust online, Lucy responded bluntly: 'You don't hear from me at all.' Matty went on to deactivate his account. Lucy is a singer-songwriter from Richmond, Virginia. Aged just 17, she released her debut EP, Girls Girly Back Home, in 2012 but gained traction with her first full album four years later - No Burden. In 2018, she released her acclaimed second album, Historian, and also formed Boygenius with Phoebe and Julien Baker. A self-titled EP was released by the group later that year before the members went back to their separate ways to pursue solo projects. In 2021, Lucy released Home Video, another acclaimed album and her first to hit the charts in both the UK and US. Boygenius returned to huge critical success in 2023 with a debut LP, the record, winning three Grammys - Best Alternative Music Album, Best Rock Song and Best Rock Performance. The trio also won Best International Group at the 2024 BRIT Awards. After the record's release, Taylor prescribed it to 'make your life better' and she joyously celebrated its Grammy success with the supergroup. As of February 1, 2024, Boygenius is back on a hiatus 'for the foreseeable future'.

Shoppers from all over the city rushed to the store to snap up quality clothing at pre-war prices in Ireland's first 'shopping frenzy'. During the excitement, a window was forced in and the police had to be called to help control the crowds hoping to bag founder Ben Dunne's 'Better Value' bargains. Dunnes later opened more stores in the 1950s and began to sell groceries in 1960 - starting with apples and oranges. The retailer said: "Fruit was expensive at the time and Ben Dunne yet again offered Better Value than anyone else in town. "Over time, our food selection has grown and that spirit of good value has remained strong. "Now we offer a wide range of carefully-sourced foods from both local Irish suppliers and overseas." The retailer's first Dublin store opened its doors in 1957 on Henry Street and a super store on South Great Georges Street was unveiled in 1960. They added: "In 1971, our first Northern Irish store opened, and many others soon followed. "Expansion continued in the 1980s in Spain, and later into Scotland and England." Dunnes now has 142 stores and employs 15,000 people.

'We are holding the community together' - award-nominated food bank's plea for help
TARIQ Khan is excited and exhausted by the challenges his team face. His Feed Newport group has been keeping up with a recent growing demand but delighted by the response he has seen from his colleagues. The team has been working non-stop to support not only rough sleepers and hostel residents, but a growing number of families, children, and people in temporary housing across Newport. The need is rising, and so is the pressure. Tariq is both exhausted and hopeful. His team hasn't missed a day, making sure no one is left behind. But the sustainability of this effort remains uncertain: 'Even a single pound donated makes a real impact, and many donors are those with very little themselves, people who truly know what it means to go without.' Feed Newport has always served all of Newport from the heart of Pill, and as the city undergoes regeneration, Tariq urges investors and policymakers to back those who've long kept the community afloat. 'We're not just feeding people,' he says, 'we're holding the community together.' Tariq says this spirit is beautifully embodied by Lucy Anderson. Recruited through the GAVO Young Volunteer Grant, Lucy began helping at Feed Newport as a teenager. She grew in confidence, gained skills, and has now landed a job with the NHS catering department. Her journey shows how volunteering isn't just about giving, it's also about growing. Lucy has been nominated for a GAVO Young Volunteer Award, and Feed Newport itself is up for a Food Sustainability Award after years of pioneering grassroots work.

It helps others,but it changes you too.' Nominations for the Newport Volunteer Awards are open until today, July 25. Lucy's story proves how far kindness can carry you.
