Excitement is building for the Wales vs England Six Nations clash this weekend, with Louis Rees-Zammit ready to shine in the red jersey. But let’s rewind a bit to a lesser-known tale about the Welsh rugby star.
Rees-Zammit once dated Alicia Scholes, daughter of Manchester United icon Paul Scholes. And during those days, Paul had a cheeky request: play for England! “He kept joking about it, but I wasn’t having any of it,” Louis shared in an interview.
Fast forward to today, and Louis has racked up 35 caps for Wales, a Lions tour under his belt, and even flirted with an NFL career! Meanwhile, Alicia is making waves in netball with London Pulse and has amassed a strong social media following.
Louis’s current partner, American model Drew Knotts, has made the leap from the sunny shores of Florida to the charming valleys of Wales. She’s getting a crash course in rugby from Louis’s family as she cheers him on from the stands. “It’s quite the transition for her, but she’s loving it,” he says fondly.
Now 25, Louis is at the peak of his career, proving his commitment to Wales on and off the field. We can’t wait to see him in action this Saturday. Let us know your predictions! 🏉💪🌹
