"Whenever I go to Joe’s games, the amount of lads who come over to me is mad and that is what really makes me smile. I stand there a lot of the time with my hood up, trying to watch, but they’ll say, ‘Are you Ella Toone of United? Can I have a picture?’" Ella told The Times.

Both football players have been extremely supportive of each other in their respective careers. Consequently, Bunney also joined his longtime girlfriend during the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia. Last week, they were spotted going for a romantic walk around the coastal rocks.
