In 2019, Ian Rush proposed to his girlfriend, Carol Anthony. After five years together, the couple is engaged and describes themselves as best friends.
Ian Rush is a former forward for the Welsh national football team. Rush was a member of Liverpool from 1980 to 1987 & 1988 to 1996. The former athlete has 346 goals in all competitions for the club, making him the club's all-time best striker.
Rush made 73 appearances for Wales at the international level, and with 28 goals between 1980 and 1996, he held the record for most goals scored by a Welsh player until 2018.
Carol Anthony is an Irish model and singer who was born in 1981 and is the youngest of nine siblings.
In 2012, she performed on TV3's Celebrity Salon before venturing into pop music under the alias 'Havana,' managed by Simon Napier-Bell, formerly of Wham!
Carol owns her own production company, Home-run Productions, and has even acted in Bollywood films as a reader.
She has been with Rush for roughly five years and is a lifetime Liverpool fan. She was married for a short time in 2012 but has since been with them for around five years.

The two, who share their time between London and Chester, were seen watching Liverpool's 5-2 victory over Roma, with Rush celebrating loudly.
She claimed she wants to be known for more than simply being Ian Rush's half-sister and has been "grafting for years" and running her own business since she was 19.

Carol Anthony, an Irish beauty, is 22 years younger than her 60-year-old former Liverpool footballer beau Ian Rush.
The couple, who were at the Sean Cox fundraiser event in Dublin, had been dating since late 2013, and she was overjoyed when the ex-striker proposed to her in 2019.
She is quick to dismiss any claims that she is a "gold-digger" but admits that it is "common" for people to assume so when it comes to affluent athletes and their younger companions, but that their connection is unique. For each of them, this will be their second marriage.
Ian Rush and his long-term companion Tracy divorced in 2012 after a 25-year marriage, and Ian and Carol began dating shortly after.
When rumors of a three-year romance between Carol and Ian, who grew up on a council estate in Wales, surfaced, the marriage dissolved.
Anthony claims she had nothing to do with the relationship's demise and has no problem with their 22-year age difference. Five years later, the couple, who describe themselves as closest friends, have decided to marry.
She is a trained singer who has previously toured with Westlife. She is also passionate about charitable work and has been assisting her other half with the Ian Rush Foundation.
She traveled to Dublin to assist in the presentation of a โฌ1.3 million check to the Shabra Foundation, which has been working to provide genetic testing equipment to the Mater Hospital.
