The Lionesses have been enjoying some much deserved downtime following their second consecutive European Championship win – and several players have jetted out to the Spanish party island of Ibiza
Lioness legend Lucy Bronze has been snapped cosying up with fellow footballer, Spanish international Ona Batlle. Just weeks ago they were fierce rivals, but this week the pair were seen wearing matching orange bikinis as they soaked up the sun in Ibiza.
Wearing matching snorkelling goggles, the pair enjoyed a dip in the Mediterranean Sea and were seen laughing together on a paddle board before rinsing each other off on the deck of a white yacht. Lucy, 33, from Berwick-upon-Tweed, Northumberland, is rumoured to have been dating Ona, 26, from Catalonia, for several years.
Although neither players have officially confirmed their relationship, they have shared cosy holiday snaps from a number of trips including one to Disneyland Paris in December 2024. And just weeks before the Women’s European Championship in Switzerland kicked off last month, the pair shared photos from another sunny getaway in Altea, just five miles north of Benidorm.

When the Lionesses came from behind to beat Spain and take home the Euros trophy, Lucy was moved to tears as she was seen comforting Ona after the final whistle. It was a moment that echoed similar scenes following the World Cup final in 2023, when the heartbroken Lionesses lost 1-0 to Spain in Sydney, Australia.
Then Ona was the one who had held Lucy as she wept into her lap while sitting in the dugouts. The pair are thought to have grown close while playing together at Barcelona. And Lucy, who moved from Barcelona FC to Chelsea last year, was one of the first Lionesses to go over and comfort her former teammates following England’s victory in July.
After their incredible Euros 25 campaign, several Lionesses have been enjoying some much deserved downtime. Among those who have also jetted out to Ibiza are Lauren James, Ella Toone and Ella’s boyfriend Joe Bunney. Ella, 25, from Tyldesley, Greater Manchester and Joe shared loved-up snaps on Instagram of their trip to the San Antonio side of the island, where they visited Ocean Beach and super club Ushuaia.
The couple had joined Ella’s teammate and best pal Alessia Russo, 26, and her Love Island star brother Giorgio to watch Oasis at Wembley before jetting off. Captain Leah Williamson flew stateside to watch a basketball game with her close friend and former Miss USA Elle Smith.
And England hero Chloe Kelly, 27, who scored the winning penalty in the final was given a heroes welcome when she returned to a street party with all her pals in West London. She was pictured alongside husband Scott Moore wearing a yellow Corteiz jersey – a London streetwear brand which the striker has enjoyed a number of collaborations with.
