- Rachel was once in a relationship with fellow soccer player, Kristie Mewis while Turner was suspected to have been dating Manchester United co-player, Ella Toone
While Rachel Daly doesn’t hesitate to make aims and score points, her partner, Millie Turner takes cues to ward off and defend. Well, this is the position they take on the field of play as they are both soccer players in England.
While Rachel plays club football for Aston Villa, her girlfriend plays for Manchester United. Both clubs are located in their birth country. However, it seems football brought them together and as it seems, will keep them together in 2021 and it’s still keeping them going to date.
Rachel Daly and her partner, Millie have clearly weathered some storms individually and together. This includes an almost life-threatening disease and an off-season.
Let’s look at what love has been for these two women who share a common love for soccer, each other, and dogs.
Rachel Daly and Millie Turner Started Dating in 2021
2021 was an eventful year for both Rachel Daly and her partner, Millie Turner. That was the year Millie Turner was diagnosed with carotid artery dissection and had to miss the second half of the 2021-22 season.
This diagnosis almost extended into the 2022-23 season but due to the fact that she was able to notice her problem early and get due treatment, she recovered in due time. Turner could resume all paused physical activities and training ahead of the season.
On the other hand, her partner Daly was on a few months’ loan to West Ham from Houston Dash. This lasted from September 3, 2020, to January 11, 2021. The rest of the year was spent enjoying an off-season just like her partner. However, she bounced back in 2022.
Rachel signed a 3-year deal with Aston Villa on August 9, 2022.
Although 2021 wasn’t the best year of their lives, career-wise, the lovebirds were grateful enough to find and have each other.
They began dating within the year’s first half and went Instagram official on June 28, 2021. Since then, they haven’t taken a break from both their careers and their love.
Through the years, the couple continues to flaunt themselves on each other’s social media platforms. They both make cameos on their Instagram accounts on vacations and just having fun generally. They also publicly share their love for dogs and dot on Daly’s dog, Dexi.
Was Millie Turner in a Relationship with Clubmate Ella Toone?
Once upon a time, there was confusion as to who 28-year-old Millie Turner truly had a relationship with. Reports claim that the closeness between the Manchester United teammates became a cause for confusion and debate.
Not only are teammates, but they also hail from the same place – England. Their relationship could easily be platonic but people still wondered.
When all was said and done, Rachel Daly’s partner had to speak up about the situation of things between them. She confirmed that their relationship is strictly platonic. Going further, Turner admitted that her closeness to Toone was more of a sisterly bond.
According to Manchester United’s defender, she and Ella bicker all the time, and even when people say they act like an old married couple, it doesn’t translate to any intimate relationship.
For Turner and Toone, it is nothing other than a sisterly bond.
On the other hand, Rachel was previously in a relationship with her former teammate, Kristie Mewis. They were both players for the Houston Dash before Daly went on loan in 2020.
Mewis is currently in a relationship with the Australian soccer player who plays as a forward for Chelsea, Sam Kerr.
Rachel Daly’ Partner Won’t be Playing With Her at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in 2023
32-year-old Rachel made it to the Lionessess squad when she was called upon by England manager Sarina Wiegman. She is one of 7 forwards who made it to the national team playing at the FIFA Women’s World Cup in July 2023.
Unfortunately, her partner, Millie Turner didn’t. Millie hasn’t had an international call-up since April 2021 under the management of Hege Riise.
One of the reasons for this could be the fact that she still probably hasn’t fully recovered from her injury in 2021. There is also the possibility that she didn’t make the cut for other reasons.
In spite of her absence from the team, Millie Turner would definitely be part of the athlete partners cheering on their better halves at the competition.
