It would be safe to say that Emma Hayes is enjoying her time in the United States. Well, it’s not just because of her “I’ve always loved working in America” claim or the fact that she considers herself merely an “Adopted American.” The London-born knows that beyond the stressful yet rewarding job of managing the USWNT, she can live to the fullest, enjoying everything there is with her family and friends. But who would have thought that we would even see the biggest crossover that hardly anyone would have thought of?
A meeting with none other than Amelia Dimoldenberg! How does that sound for a change? Yes, we are talking about the very renowned English comedian, writer, and presenter, who is also the creator of a web series called ‘Chicken Shop Date.’ It all stems from the 31-year-old’s recent social media post, where she shared a selfie with Emma Hayes among her 2.6 million followers on Instagram story.
Even though it is a close-up selfie, which is taken outside, particularly at a fine dining place, both can be seen closely resting their heads against each other. While Hayes was donning a lethal black dress, Dimoldenberg was wearing pink, as the two were looking quite stunning. Additionally, along with the picture, the renowned host wrote a caption saying, “Absolutely in awe of you,” while tagging the English tactician.

Well, technically, it wasn’t just Amelia Dimoldenberg that Hayes was seen meeting last night.
The former WSL manager’s following story saw her share another snapshot, this time with a rather different name that goes by Mariella Frostrup. For those unaware, she is an Irish-Norwegian journalist and broadcaster who also happens to wear the hats of an author and campaigner.
Interestingly, both Hayes and Frostrup were seen posing with each other by keeping around each other’s neck. Additionally, the former Chelsea boss wrote a caption that read, “Superstar 🌟💫.” Well, well, well…looks like someone is busy meeting people, isn’t that right, Emma? But you know what’s actually more interesting? The fact that she met with Amelia Dimoldenberg. And guess what, it has left ardent fans thinking only one thing, generating a significant buzz among them!

Has Emma Hayes teased her potential Chicken Shop Date with Amelia Dimoldenberg?
For those unaware of what exactly happens in the Chicken Shop Date, Amelia Dimoldenberg calls revered celebrities and interviews them in fried chicken restaurants. The English host makes things more interesting with the help of her own mix of sarcasm, deadpan delivery, and intended awkward humor to leave the viewers hooked.
Now, given how her latest social media activity confirms that she met Hayes, it doesn’t give much of an impression of the fact that both recorded yet another episode of the Chicken Shop Date. However, what’s done is done, as fans can’t stop obsessing over their latest potential collaboration. Many netizens simply don’t believe that it is indeed Hayes and Amelia that met each other.
