Marcus Rashford and Lucia Loi were in a relationship for a remarkable nine years. They’ve known each other since both were 15 at Ashton on Mersey School in Greater Manchester. Their connection deepened with a grand engagement ceremony in Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the couple decided to part ways earlier this year, which was unexpectedly a few months after their engagement.
According to the Sun, the reason Rashford and Lucia broke up was nothing complicated; rather, the split was agreed upon mutually. The relationship reached its natural conclusion, and despite the romantic separation, they maintain a strong friendship. Perhaps this explains their recent meeting at a posh restaurant in Manchester, which certainly sparked rumors of a potential reconciliation.
It’s worth noting that in April, Rashford and Lucia flew to New York, chartering a 125-seater Boeing 737 plane for $299,000 whilst being sidelined from the England squad due to an injury. Amid the former couple’s meetup, this begs the question, who exactly is Lucia Loi?
