New York break with girlfriend Elle Smith brings 'joy' to Lionesses captain Leah Williamson after 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.

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.

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.

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.
