Aston Villa Star Douglas Luiz Steps Out with New Teenage Brazilian Model
Aston Villa midfielder Douglas Luiz has reportedly found new love, stepping out with a stunning 19-year-old Brazilian model and influencer, Duda Gaspar. This development comes after his high-profile relationship with Aston Villa and now Leicester City ace, Alisha Lehmann, concluded last year.
Lehmann, who has garnered a significant following on social media, has herself recently made her new romance public. She has been sharing glimpses of her relationship with semi-professional footballer and former Love Island star, Montel McKenzie, since they confirmed their status on Instagram in January.
Now, Luiz, 27, has seemingly responded by going public with his latest girlfriend. Duda Gaspar, a London-based brunette, made her debut as Luiz’s partner in a series of social media posts.
A Football Pedigree
Duda’s connection to the football world runs deep. Her father is Edu Gaspar, a former professional footballer who represented the Brazil national team and played for prominent clubs such as Corinthians, Arsenal, and Valencia. More recently, Edu Gaspar was appointed Global Head of Football at Nottingham Forest in July of last year. Notably, Douglas Luiz spent six months on loan at Nottingham Forest during the first half of the current season, playing under Edu Gaspar’s guidance.
Luiz’s new partner shared a selfie on her Instagram account, featuring the couple with their arms around each other. Accompanying the image, she conveyed a heartfelt message to her 57,000 followers, stating, “You are my greatest certainty,” accompanied by a heart emoticon.
Douglas Luiz, in a parallel post featuring the same photograph taken in what appears to be a bar setting, echoed similar sentiments, writing, “Making you happy will be my priority.”
The exact timeline of Luiz and Gaspar’s relationship remains unclear. It is not yet known whether the Premier League player was acquainted with Duda prior to his loan spell at Nottingham Forest.
Future Prospects and Football Ties
There is speculation that Duda Gaspar may remain in the UK, particularly if her father, Edu Gaspar, faces a departure from Nottingham Forest. Reports have suggested that he has been asked to stay away from the club’s training grounds, potentially leading to his dismissal and a return to Brazil. This situation could open doors for other clubs, with reports indicating that top-flight Brazilian side Flamengo have already made contact regarding potential replacements for their sporting director, Jose Boto.
A Look Back at the Previous Romance
Alisha Lehmann, often dubbed the ‘world’s sexiest footballer’, began her relationship with Douglas Luiz in 2021. Their paths crossed at Aston Villa, where Lehmann was also a player.
The couple made headlines when they both completed transfers to Juventus in the summer of 2024. At the time of their move to Italy, reports circulating suggested that the high-profile couple, notable for being the first boyfriend and girlfriend to transfer to the same club, had parted ways.
Lehmann herself has recently been active on social media, captivating her fans. Last month, she shared a romantic Valentine’s Day post, showcasing herself in a red dress and holding a bouquet of red roses.
The month prior, her new partner, Montel, who gained recognition from both the original series of Love Island and its All Stars spin-off, posted a collection of images depicting him in close proximity with Lehmann. Lehmann joined Leicester City on a two-and-a-half-year contract on January 22nd of this year. The public revelations of their respective new relationships mark a significant shift in the personal lives of these prominent football figures.
