LIONESS Lotte Wubben-Moy has had to bide her time to catch the eye of England’s head coach Sarina Wiegman.
She finally battled her way back into the national team at Wembley last year after a three-year wait – but did you know her boyfriend is equally competitive?
Who is Lotte’s boyfriend Tao Geoghegan Hart?
Tao is a British cyclist who currently rides for UCI WorldTeam Ineos Grenadiers.
He was the fifth British rider to win a grand tour, the second Briton to win the Giro, and the youngest British rider to win a grand tour.
On May 17, 2023, the cyclist was rushed to hospital after a horror crash at Giro d’Italia.
He reportedly came tumbling off his bike on a slippery downhill descent with 70km to go in stage 11.
When did Lotte Wubben-Moy and Tao Geoghegan Hart start dating?
The couple went public with their relationship on March 24, 2021.
They have since shared several posts of each other on their social media.
On May 6, 2023, Lotte took to Instagram to wish Tao luck for his Giro d’Italia race.
Sharing a sweet photo of the pair, she captioned the post: “A smile, a wink and off you go into the depths of Italy. From E5 to the 6602, issa @girdotalia time.
“Head smooth like a calzone, a pie isn’t aero after all. go well amore xx”.
A ‘super special’ moment
When Lotte was finally called up for England last year – for the Euro 2025 qualifier against Sweden – she entered the field hand in hand with Tao’s sister.
“It’s a very special feeling for both me and my family,” the England defender told The Guardian.
“I had my partner’s little sister walking out with me so that was super special.”
