Ángela Leyva Confirms Engagement to Turkish Partner

Her Instagram post comes as she is a free agent and has drawn preliminary interest from Alianza Lima

Overview

  • Leyva announced her engagement on May 28, 2026, posting photos and a video that show her partner, Oğuzhan Önder, kneeling to propose on a beach and writing that she feels “full of happiness and gratitude.”
  • Former teammates and coaches including Natalia Málaga, Raffaella Camet and Mirtha Uribe publicly congratulated Leyva after her social-media announcement.
  • Leyva first introduced Önder publicly in 2025 and media coverage shows he has attended her matches while she played in Turkey for Beşiktaş JK.
  • Peruvian club Alianza Lima has made initial contact about a possible return for Leyva, who is reported to have become a free agent after finishing her stint at Beşiktaş, but talks are exploratory and no deal exists.
  • Leyva is said to be prioritizing rest after the season, a stance that could delay any transfer decision and shape whether she returns to play in Peru or pursues other options abroad.
