Alan Shearer, the Premier League's all-time leading goalscorer and a familiar face on Match of the Day and BBC Radio 5 Live, has daughters who are making headlines in their own right. Hollie and Chloe Shearer are both dating rugby players, including one England international.
Alan Shearer's Family Life
The former England captain, who scored 30 goals in 66 appearances for the Three Lions and holds 260 Premier League goals, retired from playing in 2006. The 54-year-old has since become one of the nation's foremost pundits, earning an estimated net worth of £40 million from his BBC salary, Amazon Prime, and Al-Jazeera commitments. Married to Lainya for nearly 34 years, Shearer met her during his time at Southampton.
While Lainya maintains a low profile, the Shearer children have established a strong online presence. Son Will has 16,000 Instagram followers, Chloe has 20,000, and Hollie commands 82,000.
Hollie Shearer's Career and Engagement
Hollie is not just popular on Instagram; she is also a singer with nearly 1.5 million streams on Spotify for her most-played track. She has conquered TikTok, sharing fashion and lifestyle content with nearly 335,000 followers. In November, she became engaged to England rugby star Joe Marchant, who proposed under the Eiffel Tower in Paris. The couple confirmed their romance in April 2022 and now live in France, where Marchant plays.
Shearer has noted his daughter's growing enthusiasm for rugby over football. About his future son-in-law, he joked, "I'm just glad it's not a footballer," but emphasized his full support for Hollie's choice.
Chloe Shearer's Relationship
Chloe is dating former scrum-half Micky Young, 35, who had two spells at Newcastle Falcons before finishing his career at Gloucester. In August, Newcastle announced a testimonial for Young, which includes a football dinner event featuring Alan Shearer.
Chloe works in talent management, contributing to events like Soccer Aid.
