Leicester ace Lehmann, 27, has been treating her army of social media fans to glimpses of her new romance with semi-professional footballer and Love Island star Montel Mc Kenzie after they went Instagram official in January. And overnight Luiz, 27, whose four-year relationship with his Swiss beauty ex ended last year, hit back by going public with his latest girlfriend - a 19-year-old London-based brunette called Duda Gaspar. Duda’s former professional footballer dad Edu Gaspar, who played for the Brazil national team as well as Corinthians, Arsenal and Valencia, was appointed Global Head of Football at Nottingham Forest in July last year. Luiz’s new squeeze posted a selfie photo on her Instagram overnight with her arms around the footballer, who left Villa in the summer of 2024 for Juventus but returned 18 months later off the back of a Nottingham Forest loan spell. She told her 57, 000 followers in a tell-tale message alongside the cute snap: 'You are my greatest certainty' followed by a heart emoticon.

The model is expected to stay in the UK if her dad, facing the axe at Forest after he was reportedly told to stay away from the club’s training ground, ends up getting the sack and returning to Brazil.
