<p>The 26-year-old Mancunian model <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/man-utd-marcus-rashford-dating-grace-rosa-jackson-love-island-split-joey-essex/blt83de0272a725e738" target="_blank">reportedly went on a number of dates with England international Rashford</a> in 2024. They were spotted hanging out on a regular basis, but are <a href="https://www.goal.com/en-gb/lists/marcus-rashford-dumped-love-island-girlfriend-grace-rosa-jackson-man-utd-not-serious-relationship/blt711229300de627ed" target="_blank">said to have split in December</a> as Jackson reportedly told friends that Rashford was not “serious about her”.</p>

WHAT HAPPENED?

<p>Jackson is now featuring on Love Island All Stars and has been quizzed on her love life. Asked if she has been seeing any footballers, with Rashford’s name thrown into the mix, Jackson said: “No we were out in a group having food... we weren't dating but we was chatting a little and texting.”</p>

THE GOSSIP

<p>She added: “It’s difficult because he can't go out and just go on a normal date. All these f*cking United fans were like commenting, thousands of comments on my pictures like, 'cause they loved me. When the article came out he scored two goals and he hadn't scored for like ages, so they said 'You fixed him!'”</p>

WHAT GRACE JACKSON SAID

<p>On the difficulties of dating somebody so famous, Jackson went on to say: “If it would have been a bit different, because he couldn’t really date so he’d be like 'I wanna see you, just come to mine and chill with me' but I’m like, 'I don’t really wanna….”</p><p>Pressed on whether Rashford really liked her, Jackson said: “I think he did. I think it went a bit weird when all the articles were coming out but I've known his brother since I was like 17 so then he was like 'na don't worry about it, he knows it's not you' but it just changed the vibe a bit cause everyone knew and there wasn’t anything to know.”</p><center><blockquote class="twitter-tweet"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">Why name drop one famous ex when you can name drop two? 🤭&nbsp;<a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/LoveIsland?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#LoveIsland</a> <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/AllStars?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">#AllStars</a> <a href="https://t.co/bqkwrcZN4Y">pic.twitter.com/bqkwrcZN4Y</a></p>— Love Island (@LoveIsland) <a href="https://twitter.com/LoveIsland/status/1882179656025276624?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">January 22, 2025</a></blockquote>
