Darren Bent is secretly dating Amy Bruce - Sunderland boss Steve Bruce's daughter!

Hours after being sold by Sunderland boss Steve Bruce, Darren Bent has found refuge in the arms of his ex-manager’s daughter Amy Bruce.

The News Of The World has today revealed that the England footballer has been secretly dating Amy Bruce for six months.

After selling Bent, Steve Bruce said:

“All Bent has thought of is himself”

Obviously his daughter disagreed.

A source told the newspaper:

“He got a great price for him and I don’t think his decision was affected by the romance with Amy.”

Bent, who has now joined Aston Villa, now lives a 3 hour drive away and most likely won’t be making habit of his late night rendezvous with Amy anymore.
