Alisha Lehmann, the women’s footballer with the most Instagram followers (15.9 million), has not just bagged a new contract with Leicester City, but has also found new love in Montel McKenzie — a model who recently starred in Britain’s famous reality TV show Love Island.

McKenzie, 28, was the one to announce their relationship on Wednesday when he wished the 27-year-old Swiss international a happy birthday while posting a slew of photographs of the couple spending time together.


In one of the pictures, Lehmann is seen sitting on McKenzie’s lap while in a white bikini. In another picture, the couple are seen sharing a passionate kiss.



Lehmann is also the manager of MVPs United, a team that plays in the Baller League — a six-a-side football tournament in the UK.

According to British newspaper The Sun, that’s how the two met, as McKenzie, who is also an amateur footballer, is one of the players on the team’s roster.

According to a source quoted by the British tabloid:  “They hit it off straight away. Alisha has been flying him to her Como apartment for sneaky weekend breaks for a while now, I don’t think Montel could quite believe his luck.”
