Manchester United forward Marcus Rashford is reportedly dating former Love Island contestant Grace Jackson.
Model and influencer Grace, 25, featured on season 11 of the ITV2 dating show this year and was briefly ‘coupled up’ with Joey Essex and had a very steamy romance.
This came after she and former TOWIE star had a fling a year before appearing on the hit series together as they enjoyed a holiday romance in 2023.
Grace boasts nearly 600,000 Instagram followers, with her posts regularly reaching more than 20,000 likes.
In August, following coming sixth on the dating show with contestant Reuben Collins, Grace landed a huge six-figure fashion deal with brand EGO weeks after leaving the villa.
Grace accepted the eye-watering deal after being inundated with offers including with fast fashion brand PrettyLittleThing.

Like Rashford the reality star lives a very busy lifestyle that involves plenty of travel and before heading onto Love Island she said: ‘I like to go out and go abroad a lot.
‘They can’t keep up with my lifestyle! It’s the life that I want, and it helps with my business.
‘To sit in and be single, I can’t understand why I would do that in my peak and my mid-20s.’
Rashford had previously been in a long-term relationship with childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi before they split over the summer of 2023.
Rashford found the back of the net twice during United’s home game against Everton on Sunday but it is unknown whether Grace was in attendance.
Under new manager Ruben Amorim, United won 4-0 during the Premiere League clash.
Before the game, Rashford has only scored two goals in 12 league games so far this season, after netting seven in 33 during the previous campaign.
His best attacking return to date came in the 2022-23 season when he bagged 17 times in 35 Premier League games as part of a 30-goal haul in all competitions.

Rashford has won 60 senior international caps for England but he has only represented his country once this year and he was not part of Gareth Southgate’s Euro 2024 squad last summer.
The footballer has spent his entire club career with United. After making his first-team debut in 2016, he has gone on to rack up 422 senior appearances.
He has currently scored 136 goals for United, placing him 12 on the club’s list of all-time leading scorers.
The next player above Rashford on that list is Cristiano Ronaldo with 145. Rashford’s current contract at Old Trafford is due to expire in June 2028.
His deal is understood to be worth in excess of £300,000 per week.
