Chelsea Women's manager reveals 13-year hidden relationship

Sonia Bompastor, Chelsea Women's head coach, has publicly revealed her 13-year romantic relationship with her assistant Camille Abily in her new autobiography, 'A Life of Football.' The couple, who have four children together, had kept their relationship secret out of concern for their privacy. Bompastor expressed that keeping this secret was a heavy burden, stating they should have revealed their relationship sooner. Both women are former players for Olympique Lyon, where they found success both on and off the field. Bompastor has led Chelsea to an impressive start in her managerial role, maintaining an unbeaten record since her appointment in May 2024. The revelation has sparked discussions on their professional and personal lives as they continue to build their legacy in women's football.
