Dubliner Katie, 27, and the Glaswegian football star, 33, began dating in 2016 before going public with their romance in 2019.

The Irish Mirror reports that when reflecting on her signing as Arsenal captain in an interview, the footballer made a very telling throwaway comment about her relationship.

Reflecting on learning the news she had been appointed captain in July 2017, Katie told the Players Tribune: 'I was on a trip to Coney Island, Northern Ireland, with Ruesha, my partner at the time, and her family.'

The decorated player opened up about their romance in an interview with EVOKE in 2020.

For the duo, it was the sport that they love that saw sparks start flying.

'I got to know her through football first and we became good friends at the start and we then we began spending a lot more time together off the pitch socialising together and it kicked off from there,' she told us.

Remembering their first date Katie said: 'It was in St Alban's [where they lived]. Ruesha's sister lives down there and she was visiting her for a weekend and we went for a milkshake together.

'We ended up buying the milkshakes, and chucking them in the bin and going and having a cocktail instead... It was a weekend off football so we went for the cocktail instead. It was a good time.'
