Ellie Kildunne has long been one of England’s most electrifying talents on the pitch — and off it, her personal life has also drawn plenty of interest.

The Red Roses star was previously in a relationship with Cameron Sommerville-Bailey, a director at Complete Renovations, with the pair even stepping out together at the World Rugby Awards in 2024.
However, he was notably absent from Ellie’s family and friends at the recent final, and fans have since spotted that the fullback has removed their couple highlights tab from her Instagram.
Once seemingly inseparable, the pair regularly featured on each other’s social media — but those posts dried up back in February.
In recent months, rumours have circulated that the couple had gone their separate ways, and Ellie has now confirmed the split in a candid interview.
She told the Guardian:
“We split just before the Six Nations. It was very amicable. We lived together for four-five years. I still love him to pieces, but it was the best for where we are. I couldn’t have asked for someone better, right down to washing my boots. It was his love language!”
So, is there a new boot cleaner on the scene?
“No, there is not.”
For now, Kildunne insists romance is taking a back seat, with little time to think about her love life amid a packed schedule of rugby, a podcast series and a growing list of promotional commitments.
