Liam Delap’s glam influencer ex confirms their split after cryptic post while Chelsea star was at Club World Cup
LIAM DELAP’s glamorous ex-girlfriend has confirmed their split with a cryptic post on social media.
The Chelsea striker and Leanna Paul reportedly parted ways earlier this month after dating for over a year.
Delap, 22, made the switch to Stamford Bridge this summer after an impressive campaign with relegated Ipswich Town.
He was a part of the Chelsea squad that went on to lift the Club World Cup in the US.
However, off the pitch, his relationship with the 25-year-old model influencer is believed to have ended.
Leanna has now confirmed that it is the case during a Q&A on Instagram.
The stunning blonde was asked if she was single by one of her 200k followers.
And she responded: “I don’t usually like talking about my personal life on here. I like to keep that private.
“But since I keep getting asked… yes, I am single.”
It comes after speculation over the couple’s relationship following his move to Chelsea.

During the Club World Cup, Leanna released a cryptic post on Instagram questioning loyalty.
She wrote: “You can’t keep someone loyal by loving them harder.”
Chelsea forked out £30million for the English forward from the Tractor Boys and have handed the No9 shirt.
Delap did hit his first goal for the club at the Club World Cup as he scored against Esperence Tunis.
However, he will have competition for the starting spot at the club next season.
The Blues have also spent big on Brazilian striker Joao Pedro from Brighton and Hove Albion.
He will be hoping to better his last season’s tally of 12 goals in 37 appearances in England‘s top-flight next term.
Chelsea begin their Premier League campaign by hosting Crystal Palace on August 17.
However, they do have two pre-season games before then against Bayer Leverkusen and AC Milan.
