Lionesses Star Chloe Kelly Reveals the Surprisingly Unromantic Location of Her First Date With Now-Husband Scott Moore
Chloe Kelly, one of the brightest stars of England’s Lionesses squad, has opened up about a lighthearted personal story that proves even football icons don’t always start their love stories in glamorous ways. The Manchester City forward, who scored the unforgettable winner in the Euro 2022 final, recently revealed that her very first date with now-husband Scott Moore took place in a setting far from candlelit restaurants or chic rooftop bars.
Kelly admitted with a laugh that the couple’s first outing was to a **local Nando’s**, the popular casual dining chain. While it may not sound like the epitome of romance, the 26-year-old described it as “perfectly us,” recalling how relaxed and genuine the evening felt. “There was no pressure, no overthinking—it was just about enjoying each other’s company and having a good laugh,” she said.
Far from being embarrassed, Kelly said the memory remains one of her favorites because it reflects the down-to-earth nature of her relationship with Moore. “People expect something dramatic or extravagant, but honestly, it was the simplicity that made it special,” she explained. “We were just ourselves from the very start.”
Since that unassuming beginning, their relationship has flourished alongside Kelly’s rise in football. Moore, a fitness and sports professional, has been a constant support throughout her career, cheering her on through both injuries and triumphs on the pitch.
The pair recently tied the knot in a joyful ceremony surrounded by family, teammates, and close friends—a long way from that first casual dinner, yet still rooted in the same genuine connection. Kelly’s story is a reminder that sometimes the most meaningful beginnings are the least expected.
