After months of speculation, Ireland captain Katie McCabe and Australian goalkeeper Caitlin Foord confirmed their relationship on Instagram.
The couple started to be linked after they were spotted together during the FIFA World Cup last year.
The two posted photos of their trip to Rome, which showed them enjoying their time away.
The couple started to be linked after McCabe ended her relationship with her teammate, Ruesha Littlejohn, during the World Cup. Littlejohn’s disapproval was apparent when she completely ignored Foord following a match.
The couple was first spotted together during a trip to Australia.
Their teammates have supported them, with some of them expressing their happiness over the couple’s authenticity and openness.
Despite some of their critics, most of their followers commended them for confirming their relationship.
Some people believe that the post was the beginning of their relationship, while others point out the couple’s previous hints about their relationship, such as their Christmas vacation.
The affection between the two is apparent, as McCabe was seen wearing a bracelet that had the inscription “Foord” on it.
