ALISHA LEHMANN and Douglas Luiz are no longer football’s “IT” couple.
The duo, who both played for Aston Villa before moving to Turin to join Italian giants Juventus, began dating back in 2021.
But the couple’s on-and-off relationship reportedly came to an end earlier this year – leaving a void as footie’s power couple.
But that void could very well be be filled by Bournemouth Women’s star Kelci-Rose Bowers and her other half, Marcos Sensei.
Like Lehmann and Luiz, Bowers and Sensei both play for the Cherries – with the latter a regular fixture in Andoni Iraola‘s starting XI.
The glam couple’s romance seems to have blossomed last summer after sharing snaps together on a romantic getaway.
Sunny times
Last July, Kelci-Rose, 21, and Senesi, 28, shared images on their Instagram account looking all loved up.
The identical posts showed a number of snaps of the two, including one laughing together and another cuddled up on a sun bed.
The caption accompanying the photos read: “For more moments like this.”
It’s not known when the two began dating, or how they met.

However, this relationship seems very new and in its early stages.
They could have met on promotional work for the club.
Senesi and Kelci-Rose modelled AFC Bournemouth’s retro range together in a fancy photoshoot.
When she went viral
Earlier this year, Kelci-Rose nearly broke X when a social media post of hers went viral.
It was a transfer announcement vid that set fans into a frenzy, when she revealed she was joining AFC Bournemouth from Southampton in May.
In the clip, the gorgeous blonde tells fans: “Hi guys, Kelci Bowers here. I am here at AFC Bournemouth. I can’t wait to get going.”
Within a week, it was incredibly watched over 21 million times.
Bear in mind, AFC Bournemouth’s Women have just over 3,600 followers on X, so that tells you how staggering those numbers were.
Kelci-Rose began her youth career at Southampton, earning a call-up to England‘s U16 side.
Away from the pitch, she lives a glam lifestyle – enjoying beach holidays and dressing up to the nines.
Football first
Originally from market town Fareham, which sits between Southampton and Portsmouth, Kelci-Rose has repped both.
But she is on for a fresh start at Bournemouth and is sure to rival Lehmann in the popularity stakes on social media.
In between, the gorgeous footballer played her football overseas.
She starred for Louisiana State University in the US, where she played seven games during the 2022-2023 season.
But it’s on our shores where she is continuing to blossom.
A defender, she is sure to share tips with Argentina international and beau Senesi.
His football career is on the up, after cementing himself as a regular in the Cherries’ first team.
He joined the club in 2022 from Dutch side Feyenoord, and has appeared for the Argies once in a friendly against Estonia.
Part-time model
Away from the beautiful game, Kelci-Rose is signed up to agency W Model Management.
She rarely shares on her Instagram – and has shared just 31 posts with her 57,000 followers.
Many show that football means the world to her, with regular updates on how her career is shaping.
Other posts show a zest for life and clear love of fashion.
On a trip to Winter Wonderland last December, the women’s baller wrapped up warm in a faux fur coat, leggings and desert boots.
Kelci-Rose also loves to dress up – rocking sexy black dresses, as well as a leisure wear for every running around in.
Now she’s dating a Premier League footballer, the doors are open to gain even more popularity.
