Cole Palmer's girlfriend Connie Grace shares some revealing details about their relationship in an upcoming documentary.
The duo went together in the GQ Men of the Year Awards in November last year and is in their relationship for about seven months.
Grace, a nail technician and Instagram influencer with 34,000 followers, is also from Manchester and opens over their bond in a moving scene.
The Justitbuien are filmed in a chic London restaurant, far from Palmer's modest beginning, in England's Lions: A New Generation, who will be on Amazon Prime from Saturday 15 March.
Here we see a playful and charming side of Palmer – at one point he holds a white flower like a microphone and encourages Connie to sing.
“We met when we were 17,” says Connie. 'I think we knew through mutual friends, so I think he probably realized me.
“Oh, it's warm and cuddly. Well, with me, hopefully no one else.
“If you know how much someone wants something and you know that is someone's dream, you just feel so proud.”
Later in the show, Palmer doesn't look sure of himself while he dries experiments through some bread in oil and balsamic vinegar.
Connie wants him not to like the taste, but he gives it before he destroys and cry 'EW!' – An inspiring act that laughs Connie.
'Cole is still the same Cole that I met when I was 17. Of course he has changed, he is mature, and his life is now completely different, but he is still the same boy, he is still fired Cole, “she continues.
'Cole will adapt to every situation he is. He does not bother him that he is so far from home, because he only wants to play football and if it means it is going away from home and is in a place that is completely different from where he comes from, he will do it.
“He didn't worry about the whole fame and he doesn't bother him what people think. He is only committed to scoring goals and doing well for his team, doing well for his country, and you have to love that. '
Palmer was born in Wythenshawe, Manchester, in 2002 in Marie and Jermaine, with two older sisters.
His hero grew up Wayne Rooney, but he was explored by Manchester City at the age of eight and came through their academy to make his debut in September 2020.
In 2023 he took the daring step to join Chelsea for £ 42.5 million, taking a seven -year -old deal at the opposite end of the country.
In the documentary he opens how moving to Londonaar has been something of a culture shock.
“Go from Wythenshawe to meet people in Chelsea, they are different ends of the spectrum.” he said.
'The emphasis, its size, the people. Nobody knows each other in London because it's so big. Even on my way, if that was Wythenshawe, people in pajamas would be in the garden and that, do you know what I mean? Just chat together and have a cup of tea. But it is clear that it is a very different way here.
Connie added: 'Cole could not become a Londoner, are you crazy? Have you ever spoken to him? That accent does not change. No, he is a Manchester boy. '
The Lions of England: A new generation is exclusively available on Prime Video on Saturday 15 March.
