Laura Celia Valk, meanwhile, is a model, influencer and businesswoman; the couple unveiled their relationship in late April this year.
The model was reportedly very open about who she was seeing during a photo shoot in Madrid, and that she’s “completely smitten” with the athlete. Per British media, a source said that “practically the entire set” knew of her romance with the footballer – who has an apartment in the city – by the end of the day.

Considering Valk’s good looks, it’s no surprise that the 25-year-old was snapped up as a model. At the moment, she’s represented by Manchester-based modelling agency The Four Models, and she has built a successful career for herself despite being only 170cm tall. She has been featured in campaigns for Charlotte Tilbury, Guess and Gucci.
As an influencer, she’s also endorsed more up-and-coming names in fashion. For example, she has shared on Instagram her favourite House of CB dresses that had gone viral online, and she is also an ambassador for online fashion retailer Pretty Little Thing.
