Anita Asante, a British-Ghanaian professional footballer who is now a coach, has married British reporter and lesbian partner Beth Fisher.

On the evening of January 20, 2023, the couple tied the knot in Wales.

Fisher took to social media to post a photo of the ceremony along with the caption: “Got married at 3, in bed by 10! A perfect start to married life with my perfect person” followed by two heart-related emojis.

She also posted a picture of herself and Asante in bed showing off their wedding rings.

Since at least 2019, when they made their initial public announcement of their relationship, Asante and Fisher have been living together openly as lesbians.

37-year-old Anita played for Chelsea, Arsenal and Aston Villa during her storied career spanning two decades and won an impressive 75 caps for England.

She is currently the first-team coach for Bristol City.

Beth Fisher, meanwhile, is a BBC reporter and former Wales international hockey player.
