A New York break with girlfriend Elle Smith has brought “joy” to Lionesses captain Leah Williamson in the wake of her Euro 2025 triumph with England.

The Arsenal defender skippered her country to a continental crown on Swiss soil, with history being made along the way. Williamson is now a two-time European Championship winner.

Having enhanced her legacy in football circles, Williamson is making the most of a break in her professional schedule. A trip to the United States has been taken in alongside model partner Smith – who hails from that part of the world.

Smith was in Switzerland to watch Williamson help England through dramatic semi-final and final clashes with Italy and Spain as they successfully defended their Euros title – with custom Lionesses-themed jerseys being donned.

THE GOSSIP
Smith has now been showing Williamson around the Big Apple, with an exclusive members club being attended for a pampering session before savouring WNBA action and a street party in the fabled city that never sleeps.

WHAT WILLIAMSON SAID
Williamson has posted a collection of images and videos from her time in the States on social media, with one of those snaps seeing the 28-year-old stare lovingly into Smith’s eyes as she shares the “joy” of spending quality time with those closest to her.

WHAT NEXT?
After finishing her summer holidays, Williamson will return to pre-season training at Arsenal. The Gunners will be looking to defend their Champions League crown in 2025-26, while also competing for WSL title glory.
