Jermain Defoe and his new ‘girlfriend’ Alisha LeMay sparked engagement rumors on Saturday when she wore a striking new ring to a date night in London.
The former England footballer, 40, divorced his wife Donna earlier this year – just four months after tying the knot. She has since accused him of cheating on her during their short-lived marriage.
Personal shopper Alisha, 31, has been linked to Jermain since the beginning of the year and they’ve been spotted on a number of outings together.
And on Saturday, they sparked rumors that they had taken their relationship to the next level, as she appeared to be wearing a ring when they arrived at Scott’s restaurant in Mayfair.
They are also reportedly moving in together in a £3 million mansion in Hertfordshire, according to The sun.

The ex-Tottenham Hotspur striker looked smart in a black sweatshirt and jeans, also opting for a relaxed look as the pair looked very comfortable together.
MailOnline has reached out to representatives for Jermaine Defoe for comment.
In an explosive Instagram post in March, heartbroken ex Donna, 40, shared a photo of the card as she accused the love rival of making a “desperate” attempt to win her husband’s affections.
The card read: ‘Work hard, happy 40th birthday my beauty, I’d bake you a cake if I knew how to use the oven 🙂 can’t wait to do life with you.
“I love you more than Selfridges, read xxxx.”

Jermain turned 40 on October 7 last year, four months after he tied the knot with Donna in a lavish £200,000 wedding.
Donna said of the note, “Marriage is for living with someone.”
She then shared a lengthy post noting the impact it had on her family: “It’s not just me, it’s upset, it’s my daughter, my family, the 360 guests – our near and dear ones who witnessed of taking our vows.
“It was marriage, the biggest commitment you make with anyone and the brutal truth is, and I don’t use this word lightly, she was indeed a home worker so it’s beyond all of us for her to act like this in public.
“I don’t do drama and don’t like hanging my dirty laundry in public, but it gets to a point where you have to stand up for yourself and those you love, because enough is enough!
‘I have a good heart, but I am certainly not weak. And to make it clear that it’s not the woman’s fault, I stand for women, not against them.’
She also shared a post that read, “Don’t taunt fire. You never know when it might sting you back.”
Donna then shared a series of posts Alisha made earlier, including a photo of the influence wearing a Tottenham Hotspur tracksuit – the team Jermain coaches.
Heartbroken: It comes after Jermain’s estranged wife claimed the footballer cheated on her after finding a love note sent to him. The couple married on June 4 in a £200,000 ceremony
Accusation: On an explosive Instagram, Donna, 40, shared a photo of the card as she accused her love rival of making a ‘desperate’ attempt to win Jermain’s affections
Another post was a selfie shared by Alisha with the caption, “Eh, obviously I know I’m the better option.”
Other posts included lyrics from Stormzy’s I Got My Smile Back and Lie About Us from Avant.
Jermain, who married Donna last summer, spent Christmas on the Caribbean island of St. Lucia while Donna was back in frigid Glasgow.
Jermain – who played for a range of clubs over a 22-year career, including Bournemouth, Portsmouth, Sunderland and Rangers – was photographed on holiday without his wedding ring, while Donna went back to using her maiden name.
The last photo she posted to social media with Jermain was when the pair dressed up for a night out with friends on Oct. 30.
She then unfollowed her husband on social media and both deleted images from the OK! Magazine cover showing their £200,000 wedding last June.
