Cole Palmer's girlfriend Connie Grace opened up on their relationship
Cole Palmer's girlfriend Connie Grace has opened up about their relationship in an upcoming documentary.
The Chelsea star and his influencer beau went public in November last year at the GQ Men of the Year Awards. And the two are involved in the soon-to-be-released Amazon Prime documentary, England's Lions: A New Generation, which will air on March 15.
Cole and Grace, a nail technician and Instagram influencer with 34,000 followers, hail from Manchester. During the programme, the couple are at dinner in a glitzy London restaurant, where they talk about how they first met.
"We met when we were 17," Connie says. "I think we knew me through mutual friends so I think he probably had his eye on me.
"Oh, he's warm and cuddly. Well, with me, hopefully with no one else. When you know how much someone wants something and you know that's someone's dream, you just feel so proud."

Palmer then attempts to try dipping bread in oil and balsamic vinegar, but after Connie is adamant he won't like the taste, he recoils and cries "ew," seeing Connie break out into laughter.
She continued: "Cole now is still the same Cole that I met when I was 17. Obviously, he's changed, he's grown up, and his life now is completely different, but he's still the same boy, he's still laid-back Cole."
"Cole will adapt to whatever situation he's in. He's not bothered that he's that far from home because all he wants to do is play football and if it means leaving home and being in a place which is completely different to where he's from, he'll do it.

"He's not bothered about the whole fame side of it and he's not bothered what people think of him. He is only just bothered about scoring goals and doing well for his team, doing well for his country, and you've got to love him for that."
Palmer left Manchester City in 2023, making a reported £42.5million switch to west London. The 22-year-old has shot to stardom at Stamford Bridge and has adapted to his very different surroundings from his humble days at home.
"Going from Wythenshawe to meeting people in Chelsea, it's different ends of the spectrum,' he said.
"The accent, the size of it, the people. No one knows each other in London because it's so big.
"Even on my road, if that was Wythenshawe, people would be stood in the garden in pyjamas and that, you know what I mean? Just chatting to each other and having a cup of tea. But obviously here it's a completely different way."
Connie added: "Cole couldn't become a Londoner, are you crazy? Have you ever spoken to him? That accent isn't changing. No, he's a Manchester boy."
