“She’s really happy and they are having so much fun together.”
The Sun has contacted GK’s rep for comment.

In one photo, GK is seen on holiday with Ella while sporting a pink t-shirt with a logo that reads: “I love my girlfriend,” with a red love heart.

Sports star Ella’s has enjoyed an impressive international career – representing England‘s youth team when was a teenager.
She is now a striker for Charlton Athletic Women in the FA Women’s Championship.
Last month, GK updated her fans on her love life.
She said on her Saving Grace podcast: “I’m not gonna say who it is, but I’m gonna give her a nickname called eyelashes.
“So whenever I refer to eyelashes, I am talking about the love of my life.
“I’m in love. And yeah, it has been three weeks, but that’s fine. That’s absolutely fine. She came to me like a dream, and I was obsessed.
“I feel like I’ve been missing out. I feel like I went very wrong with men. I don’t like men anymore. I will never go back to a man. God forbid. Yeah, I just love it. I just love it.
“I feel like I’ve got spring in my step. I feel like I’m glowing. It’s the lesbian glow. I’ve got it. And yeah, that’s my life update.
“But yeah, I don’t think I’ll ever hard launch though, just because I have been scared off. That been much trauma, many tears, but for now it’s eyelashes and I can’t wait.”
The Don’t Look Down star went on to tell fans she’s already met her girlfriend’s pals and treated them to a £1.5k nightclub table.
She explained, “I got paralytic drunk meeting her friends and her sister was there and thought, ‘Let’s keep some composure.’ But did I? No!
“I was already black out drunk and the guy got us a table and said, ‘To have this table, you have to spend 1.5k.’
I thought, ‘First of all, that doesn’t sound right,’ but in my drunk state I spent 1.5k on a bottle of vodka. I don’t even like vodka.”
The influencer added that she later passed out from her alcohol consumption and woke up in the sports star’s family home the next day, worrying what impression she had left.
Grace rose to fame during the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 when she decided to make a TikTok account posting short vlogs and stories showcasing her day-to-day life.
Although she originally intended in staying low-key she gained a large following in no time.
By August 2020, only five months after starting her account, she had already hit 100,000 followers, reaching over one million after just over a year.
