A look into Barcelona striker, Marcus Rashford, and his fiancée, Lucia Loi, and their dating timeline. From studying at the same school to broken engagement and now back together after reconciliation.
Marcus Rashford signed a contract extension with Manchester United on July 18, 2023, that would keep him with the Red Devils until 2028. However, he struggled to thrive under former Man Utd manager, Erik Ten Hag, yet still finished the 2023-24 season with the FA Cup trophy. After Ten Hag's departure and Ruben Amorim's appointment as United's new manager on October 28, 2024, it was Rashford's goal that drew Portuguese manager's first match as United's manager against Ipswich Town.
However, in the following months, Marcus Rashford wasn't getting enough chances, and by the end of December 2024, Rubin Amorim began to be questioned for Rashford's absence from the starting XI. In his response to Rashford spending most of his time on the bench, Manchester United's manager, Rubin Amorim clearly stated that he did not want to select someone who isn't ready to give his maximum every single day. After some months, on February 2, 2025, Rashford joined Aston Villa on loan and spent the remainder of the 2024-25 season with them, showing signs of returning to his absolute best.
In May 2025, Manchester United sent Marcus Rashford to Spanish giants, FC Barcelona on a season-long loan. Since joining Barcelona, Rashford has been looking like a completely different player. Under the guidance of Barca's German manager, Hansi Flick, and alongside a group of talented youngsters like Lamine Yamal, Pedri, Gavi, Fermin Lopez, Frenkie de Jong, and Dani Olmo, he continues to grow as a player. The English striker opened his goal-scoring account for Barcelona with a brace against a much-familiar opponent, Newcastle United, in the Champions League.
Marcus Rashford scored his first league goal against Sevilla and even provided an assist for Fermin Lopez's goal against Real Madrid in the El Clásico. On the professional front, Rashford continues to find his form, and if he goes on to perform like this for the rest of the season, we could see an interesting deal between Barcelona and Manchester United in next year's transfer window. After joining Barcelona in the summer, Culers have been curious to know about Rashford and his longtime girlfriend and fiancée, Lucia Loi. So, without further ado, let's talk about their on-and-off relationship.
Marcus Rashford is in a steady relationship with Lucia Loi, who works as a PR (Public Relations) executive. As per multiple reports, she graduated with a first-class honors degree in Advertising and Brand Management from the prestigious Manchester Metropolitan University. In addition to a strong portfolio in marketing and creative work, Lucia is also interested in modeling. If the reports are to be believed, Rashford's ladylove, Lucia, has been reportedly shifted to Barcelona to be with her boyfriend. She was even present at Rashford's official presentation at Barcelona and has been playing a major role in rejuvenating his career. However, not everyone is aware of the fact that they broke their engagement in the past after Rashford's alleged affair with 'Big Body University' lecturer, Courtney Caldwell.
Marcus Rashford and his fiancée, Lucia Loi, studied at Mersey School in Greater Manchester. After being friends for some time, they fell in love and reportedly started dating in their early 20s. Lucia was with Rashford from his school days through to his debut for Manchester United in February 2016. Unfortunately, during COVID-19, they parted ways in 2021 but reconciled in 2022. Finally, after being together since their school days, Rashford proposed to Lucia on May 24, 2022, with an expensive ring, reportedly worth around USD 250,000. After the proposal, they partied with their friends.
However, to everyone's surprise, Marcus Rashford and Lucia Loi ended their engagement in June 2023. Soon after his breakup, Rashford was spotted with his personal trainer, Courtney Caldwell, in Miami in June 2023. Reports were rife that Lucia had parted ways with Rashford due to his alleged romance with Courtney. Just when people thought that Rashford and Lucia had become a talk of the past and that the English striker would now have a future with Courtney, things took a completely different turn.
In July 2025, Marcus Rashford and Lucia Loi were spotted together, and several media outlets reported that they had reconciled. The rumours were confirmed when Lucia attended Rashford's presentation for Barcelona. Fast forward to 2025, and they're together working on their relationship. We hope they never part again.
