Who is Marcus Rashford's mystery companion Jaki Palm?
ENGLAND International Marcus Rashford has been spotted on a yacht in St Tropez with a new mystery flame. Identified as Jaki Palm, the pair are said to be 'growing close' - here is everything we know about her. 6 6 Who is Jaki Palm? Jaki Palm is a 23-year-old from Sweden, but is now based in Dubai. She is a semi-pro padel player who describes herself as an entrepreneur having her own company, Tactical Padel. Jaki has 10.3k followers on Instagram as of June 5, 2025 and regularly posts photos of herself jetsetting on holiday. The Swede is also a content creator, and says that her posts give her followers 'a front row seat to my padel journey.' When did Marcus Rashford and Jaki Palm first meet? 6 It is understood that the pair met in Dubai in April 2025 after the England international visited the city to rehab an injury. A source said: 'Marcus went to have rehab for a hamstring injury in Dubai and was introduced to Jaki. 'She then joined him with his mates and another woman in St Tropez for a holiday. It's all very casual but Jaki has told her friends she's grown close to him. 'She's being very coy about it. But Marcus is playing the field like young men his age. He is just having fun in the Premier League off-season and he's had a rough time with his hamstring so to see him having a laugh is what the doctor ordered.' Who has Marcus Rashford dated in the past? 6 6 Rashford dated his childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi for ten years before he proposed in May 2022. Lucia was by Rashford's side throughout his meteoric rise at Manchester United and the couple seemed destined to spend their lives together. The pair briefly split in 2021 citing lockdown pressures as the reason but they soon got back together. After their reconciliation, the two called it quits for the second and seemingly final time in June 2023. The Aston Villa striker began dating Love Island star Grace Jackson in November 2024. Grace - who used to date Joey Essex - had just featured as a bombshell on season 11 of Love Island and alongside Rashford, the pair were built as the next 'Posh and Becks'. 6 However, the pair did not last as Grace felt that the footballer was 'not serious about her' and decided to break-up with the 27-year-old. Following the end of their relationship, Grace featured on Love Island All Stars where she opened up about their time together. She took fire at Rashford while on the reality dating show claiming that she had been on dates that were as 'fun as watching paint dry' The 26-year-old went on to give further details as to why their relationship ended blaming the difficulties of being in the public eye. She said: 'It's difficult because he can't go out and just go on a normal date. All these f*****g United fans were like commenting, thousands of comments on my pictures like, 'cause they loved me. 'When the article came out he scored two goals and he hadn't scored for like ages, so they said 'You fixed him!'" Grace then added how reports of their dates surfacing in the press affected things. She said: "If it would have been a bit different, because he couldn't really date so he'd be like 'I wanna see you, just come to mine and chill with me' but I'm like, 'I don't really wanna…." After a brief relationship the pair split in December 2024.
