Aston Villa’s Morgan Rogers linked to Love Island’s Leah Taylor
Aston Villa midfielder Morgan Rogers has been romantically linked with Love Island personality Leah Taylor after she posted a photograph from their weekend at a luxury Cotswolds hotel, reports BritPanorama.
The 29-year-old influencer shared an Instagram image on Friday, showcasing the 23-year-old England international from behind during their stay at the Cowley Manor Hotel near Cheltenham. Taylor captioned the photograph, “I like it here,” accompanied by a heart emoji, effectively confirming speculation about their budding romance.
The couple’s getaway to the four-star establishment marks a significant development in what sources have described as a series of recent dates between the footballer and the reality television star. According to an insider familiar with Rogers, the pair have been meeting regularly, though their connection remains in its initial stages.
A source stated, “It’s early days but they’re already getting close. They’ve been on a few dates and it’s going really well but it’s nothing serious yet.” Despite his attempt to maintain discretion about his personal life, Rogers’ relationship has come into the limelight due to Taylor’s social media activity, which has heightened public interest.
The source added, “He wants to keep it under wraps, but Leah just couldn’t help herself.” This revelation follows Taylor’s challenging experiences on Love Island, where she expressed a desire for better luck in her romantic pursuits. Rogers has established himself as a key player for Aston Villa, recently scoring twice in a 2-1 victory over Leeds United and earning regular selection for England under manager Thomas Tuchel.
The 23-year-old has made 12 appearances for his country, scoring once. The photograph shared by Taylor depicted Rogers in a black Puma padded jacket that he had previously modelled in the brand’s advertisements. Taylor rose to fame on the 2023 series of Love Island, where her journey involved navigating various romantic entanglements before being voted out by viewers, eager to find lasting love since her time in the villa.
As their connection unfolds, the intersection of sport and reality television continues to draw attention, illustrating how relationships in the public eye can quickly evolve and captivate a diverse audience.
