Sporting star Chloe is often spotted enjoying the London lifestyle with her husband, Scott, and their two dogs.
When Chloe Kelly pulled on the iconic red and white Arsenal strip, it felt like a homecoming in every sense of the word.
This West London-born footballer, who famously scored England's winning goal in the UEFA Women's Euro 2022 final, is more than just a sporting icon. She’s a bona fide London girl through and through — and now, she's back where it all began.
Born on January 15, 1998, Chloe Kelly grew up in Hanwell, Ealing, in a bustling household as one of seven siblings.

The streets of West London were her first training ground, where she often played football with her five brothers, honing the sharp instincts and fierce determination that would define her playing style.
She attended Elthorne Park High School, just a stone’s throw from where she lived, before making the leap to Arsenal’s academy at the age of 12.
Kelly’s journey to superstardom took her from Queens Park Rangers' youth setup to Everton and then to Manchester City, where she dazzled as a forward with electric pace and an eye for goal.
But it was her heroics for the Lionesses that catapulted her into the national spotlight. Her extra-time winner in the Euro 2022 final against Germany at Wembley became an instant classic, a moment of history that cemented her place in England’s football folklore.
Now back at Arsenal, first on loan in early 2025 and now as a permanent signing, Kelly brings both elite experience and local flair. As a forward, she’s known for her pace, technical ability, and lethal finishing. But off the pitch, she remains a grounded and unmistakable Londoner.

Though she’s returned to play for a North London team, Chloe has kept close ties to her roots in West London. Friends and fans have often spotted her at Ealing cafes and parks, usually accompanied by her two beloved dogs, Otis and Rolo.
The pups aren’t just adorable, they’re celebrities in their own right, even donning tiny tuxedos for Chloe’s summer 2024 wedding to her long-time partner (now husband), Scott Moore.
The couple, who have been together for several years, tied the knot in a sun-drenched ceremony last year. Chloe and Scott are frequently seen walking the dogs or enjoying the London lifestyle.
In interviews, Chloe often talks about how much her London upbringing shaped her. From riding buses across the city to play in boys’ matches, to sneaking into football sessions at Wormwood Scrubs.
She’s also become a fixture in the media beyond sport, with headlines celebrating not only her on-pitch heroics but also her fashion choices, empowering interviews, and down-to-earth charm.
Whether she’s turning heads at the Women’s Football Awards or being praised for her advocacy on mental health and gender equality in sport, Chloe Kelly is more than a footballer - she’s a modern London icon.
As Arsenal Women prepare for another exciting season, all eyes will be on Chloe to bring that same Wembley magic back to North London.
