Love is in the air for football star Alisha Lehmann, and this time, it’s not because of anything happening on the pitch.
The Swiss footballer, who is often referred to by fans as the “world’s sexiest footballer,” has announced that she is engaged to Love Island UK star Montel McKenzie, just months after the pair began dating.
Alisha broke the exciting news on social media, sharing a series of romantic photos from the proposal that instantly sparked fan discussion. Alongside the stunning pictures, she wrote, “Forever and always,” confirming that she said yes.
The proposal took place on a beach at sunset, with Montel getting down on one knee in what appeared to be an intimate moment captured by a camera crew.
After slipping a sparkling diamond ring onto Alisha’s finger, the couple embraced before sharing a long hug as they celebrated their engagement.
Other photos from the special moment captured the pair smiling at each other, with Alisha proudly showing off her eye-catching engagement ring.
For the proposal, the Leicester City women’s star kept things simple but stylish in a black mini dress with white detailing, finishing the look with white sandals and her signature blonde hair flowing naturally.
Montel also opted for a relaxed outfit, wearing a cream sleeveless knit top, matching shorts and white trainers for the romantic beach setting.
Although their relationship is still relatively new, the couple have wasted no time taking things to the next level.
Their romance first caught fans’ attention earlier this year after they were spotted spending time together, and they later confirmed they were dating. Since then, they have shared several loved-up moments online, with supporters quickly embracing them as one of social media’s newest celebrity couples.
The engagement announcement has now taken that relationship one step further.
Within minutes of Alisha’s post going live, congratulatory messages flooded the comments section, with fans and fellow athletes wishing the couple well as they prepare for the next chapter of their lives.
Alisha has become one of the biggest names in women’s football, not only for her on-field performances but also for her enormous social media following. With millions of followers across Instagram and TikTok, she regularly makes headlines for both her football career and personal life.
Montel, on the other hand, rose to fame after appearing on Love Island UK in 2023, where he built a loyal fan base before moving into influencing and television appearances.
While the couple have not revealed a wedding date, one thing is clear—2026 is already shaping up to be a memorable year for them.
Fans will now be watching closely to see what comes next as Alisha and Montel begin planning life as husband and wife.
