Marcus Rashford has split from his school sweetheart Lucia Loi after eight years together.
She was with him as he made his name with Manchester United and England.
Sources say the pair, both 23, broke up amid lockdown pressures but still have a “mutual love and respect”.
Anti-child poverty campaigner Marcus is said to be devastated following his split from PR executive Lucia.
Lucia has moved out of the Manchester United forward’s plush pad.
But pals say the split — which did not involve anyone else — was amicable.
The pair are still keeping in touch and there are even hopes they might get back together if they can work through their issues.
Friends blamed the breakdown on the pandemic forcing Marcus and Lucia, both 23, to spend too much time together.
A source close to the football hero said last night: “After eight years together, Marcus and Lucia have made the mutual decision to part ways.
“It is a result of the pressures and strains of the Covid pandemic and lockdowns, and the confinement that has brought with it over the last 12 months.
“There is a strong mutual love and respect for one another, having met at school, and there is a continued dialogue with the hope of a reconciliation in the future.”
They first fell for each other at Ashton on Mersey School in Sale, Greater Manchester.
