Man Utd star Marcus Rashford dating Love Island beauty Grace Rosa Jackson following her split from Joey Essex

MAN United star Marcus Rashford has been on a date with a former Love Island beauty who dated Joey Essex, The Sun can reveal on Sunday.

The England forward, 27, has been seeing model and influencer Grace Rosà Jackson, 25, for months.

A friend said: “Marcus and Grace have been quietly spending time together and he has taken her on numerous dates in Cheshire.

“They get along very well and have a lot in common.”

Grace appeared in the Love Island villa this summer – where she hooked up with Towie star Joey, 34.

It later emerged that she and Joey had enjoyed a holiday romance together the year before appearing on the ITV show.

Grace moved on to a date with fellow contestant Reuben Collins.

But she took the time to do that at the beginning of September.

Grace, from Walkden, Manchester, has since been in touch with Marcus and the pair are said to be “in love”.

Meanwhile, Rashford has been single since splitting with childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi in the summer of 2023.

But Marcus, who is in action for United against Everton at Old Trafford today, now appears to be in love with Grace.

In August, former retail worker Grace, who has amassed 594,000 followers on Instagram since leaving the villa, signed a six-figure deal with fashion and footwear brand EGO.
