There’s no snow to be seen in the Maldives, but that didn’t stop Alisha Lehman from getting into the holiday spirit.

The Juventus star, who has been dubbed the ‘World’s Sexiest Footballer,’ shared a seaside snap on X this week while wearing a very revealing swimsuit and a Santa hat as she took in some sun.

She captioned the photo “Loading season…”

With Italy’s Serie A Femminile taking a winter break stretching until Jan. 11, players have the opportunity for a little rest and relaxation over the festive period.

The men’s league, however, gets no such break from the grind, meaning Lehman’s boyfriend, Brazilian midfielder Douglas Luiz – who also represents Juventus – is back in Italy.

The men’s team, which sits sixth in the table heading into this weekend’s games, plays against Monza on Sunday and then against Fiorentina a week later.

Lehman and Luiz both joined the Italian giant this past summer from Aston Villa, which is based in Birmingham, England.

Lehman has made 14 appearances for Juventus this season and scored two goals while Luiz has yet to score in his 11 appearances.

The couple began dating in 2021 before breaking up in 2022. However, they romantically reconnected in January of this year, with the Brazilian uploading a collection of photos of the pair while wishing Lehmann a happy birthday.

Lehman has caused some confusion with her social media posts, however.

In the sunny snap, the Swiss star tagged Gregor Kobel, a goalkeeper for Borussia Dortmund in Germany.

Also, when she posted a picture of herself dressed up in an all-black outfit for Halloween, she tagged Cristiano Ronaldo.

All seems to be happy on the homefront with Douglas Luiz, however. She recently posted an Instagram video of herself and the Brazilian midfielder decorating a Christmas tree together and sharing a kiss.
