Alisha Lehmann and Douglas Luiz End Relationship Amid Career Divergence at Juventus

Football stars Alisha Lehmann and Douglas Luiz have reportedly ended their relationship, with Italian media citing contrasting career paths and future plans at Juventus as the driving force behind their split.

The high-profile couple, who began dating in 2021 before briefly separating and reuniting in early 2024, both joined Juventus from Aston Villa last summer in what was dubbed football’s first “couples transfer.” Luiz arrived in a £42.4 million deal following a standout stint in the Premier League, while Lehmann made the move to Juventus Women just a week later.

According to reports from La Gazzetta dello Sport and Tuttosport, the couple parted ways some time ago, deleting shared photos from their social media accounts—a move that has sparked speculation among fans. Sources close to the club suggest that while Lehmann is committed to continuing her career with Juventus Women, Luiz is exploring a potential exit after a disappointing campaign that has seen him struggle to cement his place in the squad.

Lehmann, 26, remains under contract until 2027 but has had a limited impact on the pitch this season due to injuries and form. Despite her minimal playing time—just 37 minutes of league action since January—she faced criticism for leading celebratory dances following Juventus Women’s recent Serie A title win over AC Milan.

Her prominent role in the post-match festivities drew backlash from some supporters who felt it was disproportionate to her on-field contributions, having played only eight minutes in the decisive match and not completing a full 90 minutes since November.

Off the pitch, Lehmann continues to attract widespread attention. The Swiss international, who has cultivated a massive social media presence with over 16 million Instagram followers, recently revealed in an interview that global music icon Drake had reached out to request a signed jersey. She also disclosed a troubling message from a celebrity offering a large sum of money for a night with her—a proposition she flatly rejected.

Despite the personal and professional turbulence, Lehmann appears set to remain in Turin as a key figure for Juventus Women moving forward, while Luiz’s future at the club looks increasingly uncertain.
