GK Barry has confessed that her career and candid confessions sometimes embarrᴀss her partner Ella Rutherford.

The I’m A Celeb star, 25, and the Ipswich Town footballer, 24, publicly confirmed their relationship in August 2024 after months of dating rumours. 

But after her successful trip to Australia which saw her spill personal details about  her life and relationship, GK -whose real name is Grace Keeling – revealed that her openness has led to the occasional argument with Ella.

She explained that when her partner was meeting up with her football team for training, they would start asking her questions about the ‘weird things’ the couple have done. 

GK told OK Magazine: ‘Oh my God, there’ve been so many times I’ve embarrᴀssed Ella,’ 

‘I am quite a dramatic person so I’ll over-tell a story. She’s like, “I have to go into football and the people on my team have heard you say that we’ve done some weird thing but it wasn’t like that.”‘ 

GK Barry has confessed that her career and candid confessions embarrᴀss her partner Ella Rutherford 

The TV personality, 25, and the Ipswich Town footballer, 24, publicly confirmed their relationship in August 2024 after months of dating rumours

‘She’s a professional athlete and I’m just sitting there running my mouth on social media.’

‘I’m learning to not contain it – but I’m definitely learning my social cues. I see the shock on people’s faces. Not everyone is a Sєxual innuendo type of person,’ she added.

Despite GK occasionally embarrᴀssing Ella, the footballer has admitted her girlfriend has ‘changed my life for the better’.

Speaking on talkSPORT’s The Kickback, Ella said: ‘She [GK Barry] really just became, straight away, as soon as I met her, that rock – that I obviously had with family and stuff but I think it’s different when you’ve got a partner and you’re going home to them every night.

‘She’s been a mᴀssive part of why I’m so happy on the outside if people do see that. Since I met her, she’s changed my life for the better.’

Ella added: ‘She’s flourished into her wag era. She’s cooking dinners and enjoying just coming to the game with her prosecco. 

‘She hasn’t got a clue what’s going on. I asked “babe what do you do when I’m playing?” and she’s just like “I just watch you”. 

‘Sometimes she’ll say like “that was a free kick” and she’ll know a corner but I do need to sit her down. 

‘At the start I was banging my head because she didn’t know what goal we were scoring in or what team we were – I said “we’re wearing all blue babe you need to just look at our team”.

‘But she’s come on, bless her. That’s nice for me as well because she really does try to understand it as well as me understanding what she does and supporting her. 

After her time on I’m A Celeb, which saw her spill personal details about her relationship, GK -whose real name is Grace Keeling – revealed that her openness has led to issues with Ella

Ella Rutherford, 24, has shared a rare insight into her relationship with girlfriend GK Barry, 25, admitting ‘she’s changed my life for the better’

‘She’s been a mᴀssive support for me this year so that’s been nice.’

GK previously admitted she was ‘terrified’ of first meeting Ella as she hadn’t yet dated a woman after coming out. 

She said: ‘I knew I was bi, but I was really scared to date a woman. It was territory I’d never been in. I was really terrified to meet Ella. We had a mutual friend. 

‘I looked at her Instagram and I thought, “look at the calves on that! There’s no way I’m letting her go.” So I plucked up the courage and went on a date.’ 

The couple are now happier than ever, with Grace adding: ‘It was the best decision ever. We have been inseparable since.

‘We live together now. Sometimes she does drive me up the wall, but with love, of course.’ 

And as their relationship continues to blossom, Ella also declared the I’m A Celeb star is ‘flourishing in her WAG era’ (GK pictured in January)

It comes after Grace made a candid admission about her plans to marry her footballer girlfriend Ella.

Before going public, Grace spent months keeping her girlfriend’s idenтιтy under wraps – but she is now making it clear how serious their relationship is. 

Speaking to The Sun on Sunday recently, she admitted that her and Ella have already confirmed they are getting married and having kids.

But sharing that the milestones could be a while off yet, Grace said: ‘One day, it’s going to happen, not yet, we’re both set on doing well in our careers. 

‘Then she’ll get down on one knee!’
