Cole Palmer swapped the football pitch for the red carpet on Tuesday as he posed for pictures with his influencer girlfriend Connie Grace at the GQ Men of the Year Awards – their first public appearance together.
The Chelsea and England star was suited and booted for the plush event at The Roof Gardens in Kensington, while Grace also dazzled in a glamorous cut-out black dress.
The couple have reportedly been seeing each other for around three months and now look to be a real item.
Tuesday night wasn’t the first time Palmer and Grace had been seen together in public. However, the event in west London was the first time they made their photographic debut as a couple.
