England captain Leah Williamson<\/a> will be leading the Lionesses<\/a> to hopeful victory in the Women’s Euro 2025<\/a> finals tonight.<\/p>\n

Leah’s England will take on former rivals Spain <\/a>in St Jakob-Park in Basel<\/a>, Switzerland, two years after losing out on their World Cup attempt<\/a>.<\/p>\n

All eyes will be on the England team, including 29-year-old team captain Leah, who was permanently appointed to the post by England manager Sarina Wiegman<\/a> in 2022.<\/p>\n

But what do we know about Leah’s life away from the pitch? Does she have a girlfriend or partner?<\/p>\n

When not leading her team to victory, Leah has made headlines for her rumoured romance with former Miss USA Elle Smith.<\/p>\n

Here’s all we know about Leah Williamson’s relationship with the 27-year-old beauty pageant winner.<\/p>\n

Who is Elle Smith?<\/h2>\n

American journalist and beauty pageant contestant Elle Smith was crowned Miss USA in 2021.<\/p>\n

In the run-up to the competition, she was named Miss Kentucky USA that same year, making her only the second woman from Kentucky to win Miss USA.<\/p>\n

She went on to represent the United States at Miss Universe, ultimately finishing in the Top 10, losing out to India’s Harnaaz Sandhu.<\/p>\n

Are Leah Williamson and Elle Smith dating?<\/h2>\n

Although they became romantically linked in 2024, Leah and Elle have not officially confirmed whether they are in a relationship.<\/p>\n

Speculation that the pair were ‘soft-launching’ a relationship began in March, when Elle posted a video of her and Leah floating in the ocean together on a paddleboard. <\/p>\n

This came accompanied by the caption ‘happy birthday my love x,’ to which Leah responded with a series of emojis.<\/p>\n

Since then, they have continued to pop up all over each other’s social media, including a picture of them celebrating England’s 6-0 win against Portugal, back in May.<\/p>\n

In the black-and-white picture, Leah sits on Elle’s lap, with the former Miss USA titleholder’s arms around her.<\/p>\n

In response to the picture, Leah commented: ‘We did it\ud83e\udd79\ud83e\udd79\ud83e\udd79’<\/p>\n

Last month, Elle shared a series of snapshots from their holiday to Majorca together – many of which saw the pair looking very loved-up indeed.<\/p>\n

These images included a snap of Elle and Leah on a paddleboard together, as well as shots of them all dressed up and headed out for dinner.<\/p>\n

Leah shared her own carousel of images on her Instagram page, too, which included a number of grabs of Elle smiling and contented.<\/p>\n

Leah also showed her appreciation when Elle shared a series of snaps posing in her Skims bikini while on holiday in Jamaica for her birthday last month.<\/p>\n

‘I have no words,’ Leah wrote in the comments to the post – to which Elle responded: ‘all yours.’<\/p>\n

She then commented again soon afterwards, writing: ‘Just come for a second viewing.’<\/p>\n

Elle has shared a message of support ahead of tonight’s final<\/a>, posting a snap of herself in a t-shirt to her Instagram Stories.<\/p>\n

This wasn’t any old England t-shirt either. The message emblazoned on the white tee’s front in red writing?<\/p>\n

‘Live, Laugh, Leah.’<\/p>\n
