England football ace Millie Bright leaves fiancé & falls for married personal trainer ‘in a big way’
ENGLAND football ace Millie Bright has left her fiancé and fallen for a married personal trainer.
The Lionesses defender, 31, pulled out of Euro 2025 this week — stating she was unable to “give 100 per cent mentally or physically”.
We can reveal she has split from husband-to-be Levi Crew and grown close to a fitness instructor.
It is understood he has now left his wife and is living at Chelsea captain Millie’s luxury house.
There is no suggestion either of them cheated on their partners.
Pals said Millie — who won Euro 2022 and led England to the World Cup final in 2023 — met the trainer last year after starting to work out at a gym in Redhill, Surrey.
Sources say she later struck up a friendship with the married dad, who we are not identifying.
Earlier this year she split from Levi, and the trainer broke up with his wife “out of the blue”.
A source told The Sun: “Millie’s shock withdrawal from the England squad ahead of Euro 2025 left fans open-mouthed.
“She has always loved playing for her country, and spoke of her pride in doing so.”
They went on: “She has fallen for this guy in a big way, and that has come with some big sacrifices.
“The fall-out has been enormous, but Millie has fallen hook, line and sinker for her ideal man.”
Other sources close to Millie stressed her withdrawal was based purely on her need for an operation to fix a long-term injury.
Millie and Levi shared a home in Surrey and their families were close. In December 2023, she announced their engagement on social media, flashing her diamond ring on holiday in Mauritius.
She has 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.
She said pulling out of the upcoming Euros in Switzerland “was not an easy decision”, adding: “I just don’t feel 100 per cent mentally or physically in a position to go on and compete in a tournament.”
She aimed to “get myself back in tip-top condition and just happy again, I think, all round, just feeling like myself”.
England’s first game is against much-fancied France on July 5. Last night a spokesman for Millie declined to comment.
