Who is Ellen White's husband? 

Ellen is married to Callum Convery, who has frequently been spotted cheering on his wife from the sidelines during her football games. 

Like Ellen, Callum has an interest in the world of football and formerly worked as a sports development officer for the Nottinghamshire Football Association. He changed jobs when he and Ellen moved to Manchester when she was signed by Manchester City in July 2019.

The couple met while studying Sports Science at Loughborough University and got engaged six years later in 2013. The pair tied the knot a year and a half after their engagement in a winter wedding that was held in a barn outside Aylesbury.

While Ellen likes to keep her personal life out of the spotlight, she has previously posted photos and videos of her husband to her Instagram page. Back in 2018, the striker shared a sweet birthday post dedicated to Callum. The caption read: "Happy Birthday to my favourite husband [winking emoji] the guy who let me take two kittens home instead of one, the guy who travels the world to support me and jumps a fence to kiss me. Think I will keep you forever."

The couple share an adorable cat named Chalky, whom Ellen has previously posted about on Instagram.

Who is Ellen White? 

Ellen, who hails from Aylesbury, is a 33-year-old striker who made her England debut in 2010. She recently announced her retirement from the sport in a statement that read: "This has been one of the hardest decisions of my life but one that I know is right for me. This decision has always been one I have wanted to make on my terms. And this is my time to say goodbye to football and watch the next generation shine.

"It has been my greatest honour and privilege to play this game. In particular playing for England has and always will be the greatest gift. My dreams came true on July 31, winning the Euros and becoming a European champion."

Ellen first discovered her passion for football while playing at school and was quickly spotted by Arsenal at just eight years old.
