Love Island’s Amber Gill and footballer girlfriend Jen Beattie make red carpet debut as a couple

Amber Gill and Jen Beattie made their red carpet debut at BBC Radio 1’s Big Weekend launch party at The Londoner Hotel on Wednesday night.

The former Love Island star, 25, and footballer Beattie, 31, were all-smiles as they leaned in close together for the cameras.

Gill opted for a pair of cream cutout trousers, which she matched with a cream corset for the outing.

She accessorised with a contrasting black handbag and heels.

Arsenal women’s team player Beattie meanwhile kept it casual in an oversized black t-shirt, blue jeans which featured rips at the knees and trainers.

The couple were first linked in December after being spotted enjoying a date at Winter Wonderland, but didn’t go social media official until earlier this month.

Taking to TikTok on March 3, Beattie shared a video of Gill rearranging the cupboards, which she captioned: “When your better half has other ideas for your day off.”

To which Gill replied teasingly: “Better half????”

After that, Gill went to support Beattie when her team won the FA Women’s Continental Tyres League Cup Final.

It was a big moment for the defender as Arsenal won 3-1 over rivals Chelsea – their first trophy in four years.

Gill originally shot to fame when she won the fifth series of Love Island with Greg O’Shea back in 2019 and she swiftly landed a £1 million fashion collaboration with MissPap.

However, despite her good fortune professionally, the relationship with O’Shea only lasted five short weeks before he reportedly dumped her by text.

He denied this at the time and claimed: “I couldn’t give her what she wants and needs so I just had to say, ‘I can’t keep doing this. It’s not fair on you.’”

After that, Gill shocked fans when she announced on social media that she had sworn off men. She declared that “switching teams” was the best decision she has ever made and insisted she could not “go through it again” with a man.
