During the transfer window (between June and September) players are bought and sold by different clubs, meaning that Kay's partner, who is the captain of the unnamed team, could end up moving to a club on the other side of the country.
"I'm starting to feel a little bit nervous about where we might end up", she said.
Kay added that sometimes, if her partner's team has lost a match, their manager makes the players come in on a Sunday, which is usually their day off.
"If you have any plans you have to cancel them super last minute", she said.

The WAG revealed that her partner has missed his kids' birthdays, has to train on Christmas Day, and even missed his brothers' wedding.
However, despite this, she said that she enjoys the adventure, and moving to new places where she doesn't know anyone, as she is unlikely to bump into someone she went to school with when she pops to the shop in her trackies.

In another video, Kay explained that despite footballer's being entitled to paternity pay, he partner went back to training the day after his kids were born, so that he didn't lose his place, meaning that she was left alone with her new borns.

Kay's video, which was posted under the username @thats.so.kay, has likely left many open-mouthed, as it has racked up over 5.5 million views on the video-sharing platform.
