Chris Smalling and his girlfriend Sam Cooke walked their dogs around Hale, Cheshire as the defender relaxed ahead of the new season.
The happy couple could be seen outside Italian restaurant Piccolino with their dogs Ruben and Miley on Monday afternoon.
Smalling proposed to Cooke after he returned from a holiday in Bali, where he suffered from a terrible case of food poisoning.
