Chelsea’s rising star Cole Palmer is making headlines again, but this time, it’s not for his football. Following Chelsea’s dominant 3-0 win over PSG in the FIFA Club World Cup final, Palmer and his longtime girlfriend Connie Grace have reportedly called it quits.
The speculation erupted after fans noticed that the 23-year-old couple unfollowed each other on Instagram, which is often considered a digital red flag in today’s social media age. A source told media outlet The Sun that while Cole and Connie have known each other since their teenage years, keeping a relationship going under the media spotlight is never easy.
Palmer recently traveled to the Caribbean island of Saint Kitts, the birthplace of his grandfather, in what seems to be a personal journey to reconnect with his roots. This trip came just days after his stellar performance in the Club World Cup final in New Jersey, where he scored and led Chelsea to an emphatic victory.
The couple, both from Manchester, had been considered one of the young power pairs in British pop culture. Earlier this year, they appeared in the Amazon Prime documentary The New Generation, where Connie described her boyfriend as the same calm Cole she met when they were 17, even though his life has changed so much.
While neither Palmer nor Connie has made a public statement, fans continue to speculate about the reason behind their apparent split.
