Alisha Lehmann, the renowned Swiss striker and most popular athlete on social media, recently revealed her engagement. She and Montel McKenzie, a well-known semi-professional football player and former contestant on the British reality show “Love Island”, are about to get married.
At 27 years old, the athlete shared the happy news on her digital platforms, where she has a fan base of over 15 million followers on Instagram. In a publication, the celebrity expressed the sentiment with the phrase: “Forever and eternally”, reiterating the continuous attention that her personal life, beyond the fields, attracts from the global public.
In a series of four images released, Alisha Lehmann showed the romantic moment in which her then-boyfriend proposed to her, a scene that took place on a paradisiacal beach. A striking diamond ring, a jewel of great value, was the highlight of the proposal.
The news quickly sparked a wave of congratulations and messages of support from friends and admirers in the comments sections. Among the reactions, one fan exclaimed: “Wow, congratulations, duo”, while another person celebrated: “How beautiful! I’m so happy for you!”. A friend also joked: “No wasting time. What a man! Best wishes!”
Alisha’s professional career includes important spells at European clubs. She played for several seasons at Aston Villa in England before moving to Juventus in Italy. In August last year, he transferred from Juventus to FC Como, also in Italy, and, in less than five months, signed a contract with Leicester, his current team.
A notable aspect of his career occurred when Alisha Lehmann was signed by Juventus. Her arrival at the Italian club coincided almost perfectly with the transfer of her then-boyfriend, Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz, a former Vasco player, where he played in 39 professional matches between 2016 and 2017.
The couple’s relationship began in 2021, a period in which they both defended the colors of Aston Villa. After a series of ups and downs, they moved to Italy together, but the relationship ended definitively last year.
Alisha Lehmann and Montel McKenzie revealed their romance to the public in January this year, and the relationship progressed quickly, culminating in the recent marriage proposal. As previously reported, a source close to the couple highlighted that “they hit it off immediately and have been hanging out ever since.”
The same source added details about the rapid development of their relationship, mentioning that “Alisha has been taking him to her apartment in Como for weekend getaways for a while now, I don’t think Montel could believe how lucky he was.” The person concluded, expressing general satisfaction: “Everyone is very happy for them, although initially everyone thought it would just be a casual thing.”
