Lucy Bronze, a football player from England, talks about having children with her boyfriend and how her superpower is neurodiversity and hopes for the Euro 2025 competition.
Lioness legend Lucy Bronze’s England team are entering Women’s Euro 2025 as the defending champions – so the stakes are high. But in a wide-ranging chat with Women’s Health UK, Lucy, 33, says she fancies her team’s chances at lifting the cup once again. Recognised as one of the best female football players in the world, Lucy is going to this month’s Euros, her seventh major tournament, with her eyes firmly on the prize.
The Chelsea right-back claims she chose the sport because it “was the only way she could connect with people” in her interview and also discusses having autism and ADHD. One of England’s most admired female players claims that she and her teammates have discussed their past successes, but they are now “new England” and are more than ready to make their “own history” as they approach Euro 2025.

Lucy, the team’s self-declared “bossy mum,” hopes that the new England approach will ease the burden on the new Lioness cubs.
“People will be competing in the Euros, which will be their first ever tournament in an England shirt,” they said. You want them to have fun with that. And I believe removing that pressure makes a great move for them.
Although she acknowledges that the world still wants her to fit a certain mold, the sporting star also addresses what she calls her “superpower,” autism.
Lucy was tested for autism and ADHD four years ago, and she was given the recommendation of an England team psychologist. She courageously revealed her diagnosis last year, and she lauds her neurodiversity for enabling her to reach humbling sporting heights to this day.
“It’s made me successful because it makes me think ten steps ahead of things, and it makes me think twice,” said the player. “I wish it didn’t take being a successful football player for me to be free to be who I am.
Everything in the world is designed in a certain general way, according to the saying. Where do you fit in if you don’t fall under that category?
Lucy may have won British women’s football, but her size makes her a very, very small fish, which is fascinating. Although Berwick-upon-Tweed, which is frequently referred to as her birthplace, is where Lucy was actually born: Lindisfarne, which is located about 60 miles north of Newcastle.
Around 160 people live there, and Lucy, along with the English folk-rock group Lindisfarne, is unquestionably its most well-known export.
Lucy has considered retiring from her 33 years as the oldest Lioness. When she eventually leaves professional sports, she acknowledges that she is “not as good” as she was six years ago, but she is learning from her incredible accomplishments.
And she’s got some potential future ideas. I might work for a company. I might try to join Fifa or the Federation.
There is only one thing Lucy, who is in a relationship with Spanish footballer Ona Batlle, that she is “desperate” to do, and that is start a family.
I’m most envious of my brother having two kids, seeing my niece and nephew. But that is still a long time away.
