Former England and Tottenham Hotspur star Jermain Defoe has been spotted stepping out with a new love interest following his breakup with ex-fiancée Alisha LeMay earlier this year.
The 42-year-old footballer was seen enjoying a cosy date with a recruiter, believed to be 31 years old, making her 11 years his junior. The pair appeared relaxed and happy as they dined together, sparking rumours of a blossoming romance.
Moving On After Heartbreak
Defoe's new relationship comes just months after his split from Alisha LeMay, whom he had been engaged to since 2021. The couple called off their engagement earlier this year, with sources citing "irreconcilable differences" as the reason for their separation.
Friends of the footballer say he's been focusing on his personal happiness since the breakup and appears to have found a new connection with his latest companion.
A Private Romance
While Defoe has yet to publicly confirm the relationship, insiders suggest the pair have been seeing each other for several weeks. The former Sunderland and Bournemouth striker has always kept his private life out of the spotlight, preferring to let his football do the talking during his illustrious career.
Fans of the retired striker have taken to social media to wish him well in his new relationship, with many commenting on how happy he looks in recent public appearances.
