GK Barry reveals she’s dating female footballer saying she’ll ‘never go back to men’
GK Barry has revealed she’s dating a female footballer, insisting she’ll “never go back to men”.
TikTok star GK, 24, whose real name is Grace Keeling, gushed about the romance on her Saving Grace podcast – but refused to expose the identity of her lucky lady.
She said, “I’m not gonna say who it is, but I’m gonna give her a nickname called eyelashes. So whenever I refer to eyelashes, I am talking about the love of my life.
“I’m in love. And yeah, it has been three weeks, but that’s fine. That’s absolutely fine. She came to me like a dream, and I was obsessed.
“I feel like I’ve been missing out. I feel like I went very wrong with men. I don’t like men anymore. I will never go back to a man. God forbid. Yeah, I just love it. I just love it.
“I feel like I’ve got spring in my step. I feel like I’m glowing. It’s the lesbian glow. I’ve got it. And yeah, that’s my life update.
“But yeah, I don’t think I’ll ever hard launch though, just because I have been scared off. That been much trauma, many tears, but for now it’s eyelashes and I can’t wait.”
The Don’t Look Down star went on to tell fans she’s already met her girlfriend’s pals and treated them to a £1.5k nightclub table.
She explained, “I got paralytic drunk meeting her friends and her sister was there and thought, ‘Let’s keep some composure.’ But did I? No!
“I was already black out drunk and the guy got us a table and said, ‘To have this table, you have to spend 1.5k.’
I thought, ‘First of all, that doesn’t sound right,’ but in my drunk state I spent 1.5k on a bottle of vodka. I don’t even like vodka.”
The influencer added that she later passed out from her alcohol consumption and woke up in the sports star’s family home the next day, worrying what impression she had left.
Grace rose to fame during the first Covid-19 lockdown in 2020 when she decided to make a TikTok account posting short vlogs and stories showcasing her day-to-day life.
Although she originally intended in staying low-key she gained a large following in no time.
By August 2020, only five months after starting her account, she had already hit 100,000 followers, reaching over one million after just over a year.
After completing a degree in film studies from Nottingham Trent University, Grace furthered her education with a master’s in digital marketing.
While at Nottingham Trent, she worked on the set of BBC series Doctors, and the Netflix film Hood, as well as creating content for ShawMind, a charity working to promote mental health awareness.
It was believed that Grace had a boyfriend as she often referred to being in a relationship on her podcast.
She was often pictured with a male companion named Billy Hunt at events.
