Chloe Kelly's husband's normal day job and key role it played in Lioness star romance
England forward Chloe Kelly made headlines during the Women's Euros 2025 - not just for her on-pitch performance, but for a touching personal moment that offered fans a rare glimpse into her private life.
As she prepared to come off the bench during a tournament match, cameras captured Chloe, 27, revealing custom shin pads featuring a photo from her wedding day. The romantic detail thrust her husband, Scott Moore, into the spotlight despite his typically low profile and desire to keep out of the public eye.
Chloe and her husband Scott first met when she was playing for Everton and he was working as a groundsman. The pair connected after Kelly held a door open for him. 'He went on to message her on Instagram,' the couple previously shared.
Their first date was far from glamorous but for Chloe, it was her most memorable first date ever. 'We got a little monkey and every time I see it, it reminds me of when we went to IKEA,' Kelly previously revealed as she reflected on the early stages of their relationship.
The couple became engaged in December 2023 during a trip to Finnish Lapland. Moore proposed during a private husky ride beneath the Northern Lights. 'The easiest yes ever,' Kelly wrote in an Instagram post at the time.
In July 2024, the pair were married in a ceremony at Merrydale Manor in Cheshire. Kelly wore a custom gown by Galia Lahav's Elysee line, described as a form-fitting lace design with a dramatic train. '
Creating Chloe's dress was a labour of love, capturing her vibrant spirit and timeless beauty,' said designer Sharon Sever. Her look was completed with a matching veil and Jimmy Choo heels.
With their first anniversary coinciding with the Euros, Kelly admitted she hadn't yet made plans to mark the occasion. 'I haven't even got a card, to be honest,' she said ahead of the tournament. 'I'm sure in the moment, I'll think of something and get my mum to sort it.'
She added: 'But no, we are just taking it each game as it comes and we've got a huge game coming up and we know that we need to be at our best for that, so not looking too far ahead. I'm sure Scott has, but I definitely haven't.'
Before joining the England camp, Kelly and Moore took a short break in a seaside villa alongside teammate Gabby George, who is the cousin of Jesse Lingard, and her partner.
The two couples enjoyed a final moment of relaxation before a packed summer of football in Switzerland.
Chloe is currently celebrating the Lionesses huge win at the Euros over the weekend. And for Sarina Wiegman, it is a third successive European title, having won with England in 2021 and Netherlands in 2017.
For her players, it is a second straight success, and a revenge mission accomplished against world champs Spain.
The players celebrated into the night in Switzerland, starting the part on the pitch with fans after collecting their medals before heading into the bowels of the stadium in Basel to begin the party with pizza and beers.
Lucy Bronze revealed she'd been playing through the tournament with a broken leg - but that wouldn't be stopping her from enjoying their success.
'I'll do some more dancing," said head coach Wiegman. "I'll have a drink but I don't think I'll drink as much as the players will do."

Man Utd transfer news: Benjamin Sesko makes decision as target speaks out on move
Manchester United have turned their attention to signing a centre-forward and goalkeeper in the summer transfer window as the Premier League season fast approaches Manchester United still have a lot of work to do in the summer transfer window after signing Matheus Cunha and Bryan Mbeumo. United endured a miserable 2024/25 season and know they need major reinforcements if they are to turn things around. Cunha, a £62.5million addition from Wolves, and Mbeumo, who cost a potential £71m from Brentford, are big signings, but it has been slow going on other fronts. The most important is at centre-forward, where United missed out on Liam Delap to Chelsea, Hugo Ekitike to Liverpool and Viktor Gyokeres to Arsenal. They cannot afford another miss and have identified some new targets, including Benjamin Sesko. Meanwhile, as the pre-season tour of the United States continues, there are plans in the works to improve in the goalkeeping department. Here is the latest from Mirror Football. Sesko 'prefers United' United know how difficult it can be to sign a striker, having missed out on at least three occasions already this summer to rivals. Well, another similar situation could be brewing with RB Leipzig striker Sesko and Newcastle. The Magpies lost out on Ekitike to Liverpool and need to replace Callum Wilson, even if Alexander Isak stays put. They are moving for Sesko and it appears to be a straight shoot-out with United, who are also interested. Local newspaper Leipziger Volkszeitung says Sesko's agent is in talks with both Newcastle and United and it could come down to the choice of the Slovenian. In that case, Sesko would 'undoubtedly' pick Ruben Amorim's side, despite the fact they can't offer any European football and Newcastle are in the Champions League. Lammens keen on transfer Royal Antwerp goalkeeper Senne Lammens is keen on a move to Manchester United. Lammens is one of the players United are considering after a difficult campaign for Andre Onana, while Altay Bayindir didn't convince when he got a chance either. Ambitious moves for Aston Villa's Emi Martinez and Paris Saint-Germain's Gianluigi Donnarumma have gone nowhere, but Lammens is available for €15-20million (£13-17m). 'Manchester United are one of the best clubs, yes," he told reporters after sporting director Marc Overmars signed Taishi Brandon Nozawa to replace him. "But you never know. It could also be a different club, or who knows, I might stay here, in any case, I try to keep my feet on the ground. When teams like that come along, I think you've earned it.' He added: 'I certainly have enough confidence in myself. I think the most important thing is that my future team, whenever they arrive, has a plan in place. Ideally, that means playing immediately, but it's also possible I'll have to take a step in between. As long as there's a plan, it doesn't matter whether I'm ready for the next step or not. Everyone has their own career, their own path. Even if I don't take the right step right away, I'll get there.' Antony to Al-Nassr Al-Nassr appear to be coming to Manchester United's rescue with a move for Antony. The Brazilian is one of the outcasts Amorim is desperate to sell, but a move back to Real Betis, following a successful loan spell, never materialised due to financial problems. Now the Saudi Arabian side have made their interest known. Fresh off the back of agreeing a deal for one Premier League flop, in the form of Chelsea's Joao Felix, Al-Nassr also want to do the charity of signing Antony to join Sadio Mane and Cristiano Ronaldo up front. Antony would consider such a move, according to his agent, so it looks like a goer. Having already got rid of Marcus Rashford to Barcelona, this would leave Jadon Sancho, Tyrell Malacia and Alejandro Garnacho as the final unwanted players to offload.

Fresh from their triumphant return to home soil, England's heroic Lionesses showed no signs of slowing down last night – swapping football boots for dancing shoes as they descended on Soho for a night out. After an emotional whirlwind 48 hours of celebrations following their historic Euros 2025 victory, the squad poured out of their taxis and straight into Little Italy in central London. All of the squad seemed to be in high spirits, laughing and linking arms as they made their way into the lively late-night spot, sporting their third outfit change of the day. It came just hours after the team had been honoured with a special reception at No10 Downing Street, hosted by Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner. It saw the whole street adorned in full patriotic splendour, complete with fluttering St George's flags and celebratory bunting. Looking radiant and relaxed, captain Leah Williamson led her squad through the gates of Downing Street, flanked by manager Sarina Wiegman, with the whole team having been glammed up for the occasion. Inside, Ms Rayner gave a heartfelt speech as the players were given canapes and drinks in the garden.

The team would later return to the field armed with several boxes of pizza and cans of beer. England managed to become European Championship winners again after a penalty shootout win against rivals Spain on Sunday night.
