Jermain Defoe went out hand-in-hand with his girlfriend Alisha LeMay on Thursday after they enjoyed a romantic lunch in Mayfair, London.
The 40-year-old former England footballer – who recently sparked engagement rumors with the 31-year-old personal shopper – was spotted strolling around the capital.
Alisha has been linked to Jermain since earlier this year, just weeks after his marriage to Donna Tierney broke up. She has since accused him of cheating on her during their short-lived relationship.
When the jock entered C Restaurant, he was wearing a gray Prada jacket, white t-shirt and black jeans.
Meanwhile, Alisha showed off her taut waist in a white crop top paired with loose-fitting pants.

In a controversial Instagram post in March, Donna, 40, the athlete’s heartbroken ex, shared a picture of the card as she accused the love rival of making a “desperate” attempt to win her husband’s affections.
The card read: “Hard work happy 40th birthday my pretty one I would make you a cake if I knew how to use the oven 🙂 I can’t wait to enjoy life with you. “
“I love you more than Selfridges, leesh xxxx.”
Jermain turned 40 on October 7 last year, four months after tying the knot with Donna in a lavish £200,000 wedding.
Donna said of the note, “Marriage is living with someone.”
She then shared a lengthy message, noting the impact it was having on her family: “It’s worrying not just me, but my daughter, my family, the 360 guests – our loved ones who have witnessed how.” we have taken our vows.”
“It was a marriage, the biggest commitment you make to anyone, and the brutal truth is – and I don’t use that word lightly – that she was actually a homeworker, so it’s a mystery to all of us that she behaves in public as she has.”
“I don’t play drama or run my dirty laundry in public, but there comes a point when you have to stand up for yourself and the people you love, because enough is enough!”
