Alisha Lehmann, 27, often hailed as the world’s most beautiful female footballer, has announced her engagement to Montel McKenzie, a former participant from the reality show ‘Insula Iubirii.’ The announcement was made on her social media accounts where she shared the joyful news with her millions of followers.
The engagement took place during a vacation when McKenzie, who previously starred in the British version of ‘Insula Iubirii,’ proposed to Lehmann on a beach. The Leicester City forward was visibly emotional, as seen in photos where she covered her face in surprise while McKenzie presented her with the engagement ring. She captioned the heartfelt post: “Forever and always.”

The couple’s engagement generated an immediate response on social media, with several of McKenzie’s former co-stars from the show among the first to offer their congratulations. Nas Majeed commented, “My favorites, congratulations,” while Tyrique Hyde added, “Congrats, bro.”
Rumors of a potential engagement had first surfaced in May when the couple was spotted visiting a luxury jewelry store. They officially confirmed their relationship in January, and things have progressed quickly since then. A source close to the couple told Goal, “Alisha had been flying him to her apartment in Como for weekend getaways for some time; Montel couldn’t believe his luck. Everyone is really happy for them, even though initially, everyone thought it would just be a fling.”
One year ago, Lehmann ended a four-year relationship with Aston Villa midfielder.
