Cole Palmer and his influencer girlfriend Connie Grace have unfollowed each other on social media, sparking rumours that they might have broken up.
The Chelsea star and his partner have also removed all pictures of one another from their respective accounts.
It comes just days after the 23-year-old starred in the Club World Cup final, scoring two goals and claiming an assist for Joao Pedro, as Chelsea beat Paris Saint-Germain to become world champions.
Grace had travelled to the US during the tournament but was not among the wives or girlfriends who celebrated the win on the pitch at the MetLife Stadium.
Now the pair have both unfollowed one another on Instagram, sparking speculation they might have parted ways.
But despite rumours of an alleged split, Palmer this week said he was looking forward to being reunited with his girlfriend, but that he first wanted to visit St Kitts and Nevis.
Mail Sport exclusively accompanied Palmer as he returned to his ancestral Caribbean homeland for the first time, where his paternal grandfather was born.
He was given a heros welcome as he arrived on the island, 4,000 miles from the Manchester suburb of Wythenshawe where the Chelsea and England star grew up.
The 23-year-old even held a reception with the country's prime minister.
Meanwhile, Grace is continuing to enjoy a holiday in Miami, posting a picture of herself in the city on her Instagram on Friday.
Palmer and Grace went public together in November last year at the GQ Men of the Year Awards and are around eleven months into their relationship.
Grace, a nail technician and Instagram influencer with 38,000 followers, is also from Manchester.
The duo met when they were 17 through mutual friends.
In March she said: '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 is currently enjoying his summer break after another impressive season, where he guided Chelsea to the Europa Conference League title.
He scored 18 goals and provided 14 assists in all competitions, scoring 15 and assisting nine in the Premier League, as Chelsea qualified for the Champions League for the first time in three years.
