Lioness Bright Finds New Love After Euros Withdrawal
Chelsea Star Begins Relationship with Personal Trainer
England football star Millie Bright has moved on from a recent split with her fiancé, embarking on a new relationship with David Zetolofsky, a personal trainer. The development comes shortly after Bright withdrew from the England squad for Euro 2025.
A New Chapter Begins
Bright, 31, and Zetolofsky, 39, have been dating for several months, with the trainer now reportedly moving into Bright’s Surrey home. Friends say the pair grew close after both experienced recent relationship endings. Zetolofsky runs a gym in Redhill, Surrey, where Bright regularly trains.
Bright cited the need to focus on her physical and mental well-being as the reason for her withdrawal from the Euros. She is currently recovering from a knee operation following a successful season with Chelsea, where she helped the team win the domestic treble.
Past Relationships
Bright’s split from her fiancé, Levi Crow, also a personal trainer, had surprised those close to them. The couple had been engaged since December 2023, with Bright publicly sharing her excitement about their future together. Zetolofsky was also recently separated from his wife, Katie, with whom he co-owns the Surrey gym.
According to a 2024 study by the Office for National Statistics, divorce rates in England and Wales remain significant, with approximately 149,000 divorces granted in 2022. ONS Divorce Statistics
Team Changes for the Euros
Bright is the third key player to withdraw from Sarina Wiegman’s Euro squad. Former England goalkeeper Mary Earps announced her retirement from international football last week, while Fran Kirby, a long-time teammate of Bright at Chelsea, also recently retired.
Bright expressed her commitment to supporting her teammates despite her absence, stating: “Ultimately, I thought this was the best decision for the team, but also for myself and using this summer to really just zone into mentally, physically, getting myself back in tip-top condition and just happy again, I think, all round, just feeling like myself.”
