England star Rachel Daly gets last laugh over rival at centre of ‘love triangle’

World Cup: How England reached final England winger Rachel Daly managed to get the last laugh over her ex-girlfriend as the Lionesses downed Australia to reach the Women’s World Cup final. Daly played the entire 90 minutes in Sydney as Sarina Wiegman’s side earned a historic 3-1 victory, with goals coming from Ella Toone, Lauren Hemp and Alessia Russo. Daly played her part in helping England over the line and left the pitch with a huge grin on her face, like many of her team-mates. She had extra reason to smile after going up against Australia forward Sam Kerr, who happens to be dating Daly’s ex-girlfriend Kristie Mewis. Mewis, who plays for the United States, was in attendance at Stadium Australia and was spotted cheering on Kerr alongside many other fans wearing green and gold. She went out with Daly between 2017 and 2019, at which point the couple split before Mewis got together with Kerr two years later. The pair first made headlines when they were pictured embracing after the USA beat Australia at the Tokyo Olympics in 2021. They made themselves official shortly afterwards when they shared a snap of them kissing on Instagram and are now one of football’s power couples. JUST IN: Sarina Wiegman to receive major honour from No 10 if England win World Cup Rachel Daly went up against her ex-girlfriend’s new flame in England’s win over Australia In an interview with Gaffer, Kerr said: “I think just being out and being two girls in love, I think if we can change one or two people’s lives and the way that they feel about each other and how comfortable they feel, then that means a lot to me. I love to share my relationship on social media. I hope people know that when it’s training time or play time, it doesn’t come into it.” The love triangle saw Daly and Kerr go face-to-face while competing for the ball at one stage before the England ace ended up with the bragging rights at the final whistle. Kerr was one of several Australia players in tears after the match as the Lionesses celebrated knocking out the host nation and setting up a Women’s World Cup showdown with Spain.
