Lioness Ella Toone shows off her sparkling engagement ring as she celebrates her partner Joe Bunney’s romantic beach proposal with pals

On a joyous Sunday, soccer star Lioness Ella Toone flaunted her dazzling engagement ring, following her partner Joe Bunney’s heartfelt beach proposal, which they shared with friends.

25-year-old footballer announced her engagement to her longtime partner, Joe Bunney, following three years together. She quickly returned home to excitedly share this wonderful news with her closest friends and family.

Sharing a joyful day out with her friends, one lady proudly displayed her ring and captioned the picture: “She’s now my fiancee!

In a group photo, she was joined by her dear friends, and the caption declared it as ‘Girls Day’, accompanied by an emoticon of a cocktail.

Ella looked effortlessly stylish for her day out as she wore a denim co-ord and black sliders. 

On a Saturday, the celebrated athlete shared her joyful news of an upcoming engagement on her Instagram account, which has over 831,000 followers. This announcement came only a few days after England’s triumph in the 2025 Euros.

She posted a beautiful collection of photos showing the special moment when Joe proposed, which took place during a romantic getaway in Ibiza, Spain.

As I stood there, my heart pounding like a drum, engulfed by a sea of vibrant red roses, I couldn’t help but feel my world spinning. There, amidst the floral splendor, was a sign that read, “Will you marry me?” In that moment, it was as if all the dreams and wishes I’d harbored as an obsessed fan were coming true. It was Joe, my beloved, asking for my hand in marriage. A wave of overwhelming joy washed over me, and I found myself nodding yes, lost in the magic of our shared moment.

In a touching moment, Arlo, Joe’s four-year-old son, sweetly participated, holding both a red rose and the engagement ring.

In her proposal, Ella exuded elegance wearing a chic crochet dress in cream. Following her affirmative response of “yes”, she openly displayed affection with her newly-engaged partner.

The Manchester United midfielder showed off her dazzling diamond ring to the camera, smiling widely from one ear to another.

Alongside the gallery of photographs, she penned: ‘Forever… 04/08/25.’ 

The famous friends of hers swiftly headed to the comments area, eager to express their congratulations to the joyful duo.

Dame Kelly Holmes wrote: “Congratulations,” (correcting the spelling) and fellow Lioness Chloe Kelly commented: “Wow, that was absolutely flawless! Sending you both a world of happiness.

1. Option A: Carly Telford expressed: ‘Well done everyone!!!’, and Tanya Bardsley chimed in with: ‘Oh my goodness, congratulations!’

2. Option B: Carly Telford cheered: ‘Great job team!’, and Tanya Bardsley echoed: ‘Wow, congratulations!’

3. Option C: Carly Telford applauded: ‘Bravo everyone!!!’, and Tanya Bardsley agreed: ‘Oh my gosh, congratulations!’

4. Option D: Carly Telford complimented: ‘Well done guys!’, and Tanya Bardsley concurred: ‘Wow, congratulations!’

5. Option E: Carly Telford praised: ‘Fantastic effort team!’, and Tanya Bardsley echoed: ‘Amazing, congratulations!’

Each option maintains the original sentiment while being more natural and easy to read in English language.

Ella and Joe’s relationship dates back at least three years, although the precise length of time isn’t clear.

In a different relationship, Joe, a player for the non-professional football team Stalybridge Celtic, has a child named Arlo.

Joe, being a dedicated supporter of Manchester City, finds himself on the opposite side of Ella’s favorite team, Manchester United. Yet, despite this rivalry, he has consistently shown support for her successes with her team.

Additionally, he serves as a coach at the ET7 Academy belonging to Ella, an institution dedicated to guiding aspiring young female athletes in pursuing football.

The couples’ vacation to Ibiza occurs mere weeks following the Lionesses achieving a historic back-to-back victory in the European Championships.

In an exhilarating turn of events, their triumph was secured following a tense penalty shootout against Spain in Basel, with Chloe Kelly netting the decisive penalty kick.

After the significant event, it was sadly disclosed by Ella that her grandmother passed away on the morning of the Euros final.

Four days after the event, the Manchester United star took to Instagram to share that her beloved grandmother, fondly called Nanna Maz, had passed away mere hours before one of the most significant matches of her career.

Next to nine pictures of her grandmother, Ella penned: ‘Life’s peaks can still be met with its troughs, even during the best of times.’

On the day of our European final, my dear grandmother, Nana Maz, breathed her last. I find solace in believing that she watched the event from the finest vantage point, alongside her most cherished companion, my dad.

I’ll always carry a piece of you with me, Nan, as I treasure the unique moments we shared together. No words could fully capture the extraordinary individual you were, but I am eternally thankful for having had you as my grandmother.

‘My football loving, crazy, funny Nan.’
