Since making his Liverpool debut last year, Alexis Mac Allister has delighted Anfield with his class and composure. The supremely talented midfielder’s exploits on the pitch need no introduction after helping Argentina win the World Cup in 2022. Off the pitch, Mac Allister prefers to keep it simple and is seen spending time with his friends and girlfriend Ailen Cova. Born in Santa Rosa Argentina, Mac Allister and Cova have adapted to life in England effortlessly. But, how did the love birds meet? For that, we first need to hear the story of Camila Mayan.

Dumping girlfriend for best friend

Unknown to many, Alex Mac Allister has Irish, Scottish, and even Italian roots. His father, Carlos, and brothers Kevin and Francis are soccer players. As such, Mac Allister’s path was decided early and he soon left for England. At this time, he was in a relationship with his childhood sweetheart Camila Mayan. A graduate in clothing and textile design, Camila is quite a presence on social media. In fact, she has around 700k followers on Instagram! The Argentine influencer regularly attended her boyfriend’s matches to offer her support.

She was also in attendance for the World Cup 2022 final as Argentina beat France. Following the match, a delighted Camila Mayan took to the pitch and shared a warm embrace with Alexis Mac Allister. She shared the moment on social media with the caption, “I LOVE YOU CHAMPNNNNN!! No words, we did it! COME ON ARGENTINA.” But, little did she know of what was to come.

One week later, Alexis Mac Allister cut his ties with Camila Mayan. In place, a new love story with Camila’s best friend Ailen Cova blossomed.

All about Alexis Mac Allister’s girlfriend Ailen Cova

Not much is known about Ailen Cova. She was a mutual friend of both Alexis Mac Allister and Camila Mayan. The pair made their first public appearance at the wedding of Argentine soccer star Lautaro Martinez in May 2023. Although Ailen prefers to keep a low profile, she is fairly active on Instagram where she posts her adventures. Ailen is known to regularly travel to and fro between Argentina and England. While she is loving her right now, the same cannot be said for Camila.

Camila is now back in Argentina still trying to recover from the episode. However, the process has been a struggle. She recently opened up, “It was beyond anything I could have ever imagined in my worst nightmare. I could never have imagined that someone so close could bring so much negativity into my life.” Let’s hope that she can continue to move on from the Alexis Mac Allister saga and find joy in her life.
