GK has previously described herself as a ‘WAG’ as she is the girlfriend of footballer Ella Rutherford. The couple are believed to have started dating earlier this year with GK teasing the relationship in May.

She said their romance sparked on Instagram, when she spotted Ella's account and gave her a follow.

GK often posts insights into her relationship with Ella on social media. In a TikTok video she shared of her cooking a meal, Grace said: "Welcome to another episode of cooking for my wife, because I'm a WAG. And when she gets back from football she's a vicious hungry beast." She added: “The WAG series continues.”

GK told former Love Island star Anna Vakili on TikTok that she saw Ella’s profile and thought “hello!”. They started following each other and began dating earlier this year, OK magazine reports.

GK later revealed that the couple moved in together after their very first date. Appearing on Loose Women in August, GK said: “First date, she moves in, never left, love that for us!”

Ella, 24, is currently a striker for Ipswich Town and has represented England at the under-15, under-16, under-17 and under-19 levels.

Earlier this week Ella shared a video on Instagram of the TV screen showing GK alongside her campmates. Ella captioned the post: "She's making us all so proud." Over another clip of the star screaming as she tried to find a key in a bug-filled hole, Ella wrote: "The nation gonna fall in love, just like I did."

GK also has her own podcast which she launched back in 2022, called Saving Grace, which now has more than 120 episodes. It focuses on sharing funny moments and has featured several well-known guests including reality TV star Molly-Mae Hague and Tommy Fury, Made in Chelsea’s Binky Felstead, Geordie Shore’s Holly Hagan, comedian Alan Carr plus many more.
