Llewellyn first shot to prominence working as a ring girl on a Misfits Boxing show, becoming one of the sport's most popular ring girls.
But she's since made a name for herself as an influencer.
Apollonia now boasts almost 600,000 Instagram followers and regularly shares snaps from her exploits across the globe.
Across all social media platforms, she's amassed a huge following of more than SEVEN MILLION people.
A Page 3 girl, she's modelled for some of the world's leading brands including Boohoo, Shein and Ann ummers.
Apollonia could soon be coming to an SPFL ground near you after she shared images of her new 'daily walk' on what appears to be a beach on a stretch of the Fife coastline.
Sharing the video on her Instagram account, Llewellyn wrote: "POV: Your boyfriend signs for a new football team in Scotland so this is my new daily walk ..."
Defender Rowe, 23, had been playing his football at Boston Utd for the last two years.
That's after spells at Barwell, Scunthorpe and Aldershot.
Apollonia broke hearts back in 2023 when she revealed she was dating Rowe, with the pair enjoying a Christmas break together to New York, with Apollonia sharing several photos from their trip to the Big Apple.

Rowe did press for the first time this week, telling Raith Rovers TV how his partner had pushed for him for a change of scenery in his latest move.
He said: "I'm really excited to be here. It's something new for me.
"I'm an attacking full back who likes to create and score goals and just get stuck in all round really.
"My missus, from speaking to her, she has been really keen to go and do something different.
"Friends and family is the most important thing."

Fringe 2025 – Athens of the North ⭐⭐⭐⭐
A delivery driver. A student. A confused elderly lady. You might not think these three would have much in common. But on a single day in Edinburgh their paths will intersect. In Athens of the North, writer and solo performer Mark Hannah brings all three characters richly to life; their struggles, their foibles, their small, important, pleasures are laid before us in this accomplished show. First up is Alan He's a delivery driver for Sound Asleep, and we first meet him as he studies the menu in a curry house. He's a typical (aging) lad, full of beer and bravado. His riff on the menu's 'a la carte' section had the audience in fits just two minutes into the show. Hannah is a remarkably versatile actor; he not only inhabits all three of his characters, but even acts out Alan doing an impression of his annoying teetotal boss Brian. It's not the same since Brian's Dad went – back then they used to have fun. But today Alan is in a hurry. If he doesn't get to his daughter Erin's concert at St Giles' Cathedral there'll be hell to pay with his ex-partner. So he rushes off to do his last delivery, only to find it brings back childhood memories he'd rather forget. As Alan floors it back to get to the cathedral by 12, the audience holds its breath, and for more reasons than one. We are holding our collective breath as we see the van charging into the crowded Old Town. What happens next? You'll need to see the show to find out, but let me tell you your emotions will be pulled in every which way as Hannah threads the past and the present together to reveal the man beneath the macho swagger. Hannah's second character isn't from Edinburgh at all. Liam's a working class London boy on a scholarship to study Meteorology at university. He's fascinated by his subject, but when he goes on a last minute holiday to Zante with his friends (cue hilarious description of their 'budget' hotel) he's also fascinated by the Scottish girl he meets there. Meteorological observations, the Beaufort Scale, the humidity; Liam still has time to notice these even as he enjoys their first kiss. When his new love tells him he 'should see the weather in Edinburgh' he takes her at her word. Back in London he takes the train to Waverley on a whim. Hannah gives us a great sketch of a Londoner looking for CockburnStreet and later seeing Stockbridge ('like Disney!') for the first time – but although there's humour, Liam's impressions of Edinburgh are interspersed with lyrical moments too. He looks up at the castle and imagines his 'princess' waiting for him; he watches the Water of Leith, 'it just flows, no calculation, it just is.' And on his way to meet his princess, he walks straight into a man running towards St Giles' Cathedral. Does Liam disappear into the happy ever after with his dream girl? Or does he end up sitting on the top deck of a bus with a rambling old lady? I'm not saying – but again, Hannah ends the piece on a beautifully optimistic note. Cameo three isn't anything like the other two. For this one Hannah needs a handbag, as he morphs into Maureen, an old lady and long time resident of Annandale Street. We first meet Maureen having a crafty fag in her strictly non-smoking care home. She's chatting with her carer, Ross. She likes him better than her son Peter, who's sold her flat and put her – quite unnecessarily in her opinion – into West Edinburgh Residential Care. Hannah creates a convincing study of a woman slowly descending into dementia. Maureen has a mouth like a sewer (she could beat Alan hands down in a swearing match) and some sharp words to say about a lot of things. She reluctantly accepts that she's been forgetting why she went out shopping, but she still remembers all the boxes from her house sale, and she gives a priceless and instantly recognisable description of the buyer, all set to gentrify her home of sixty years. It's easy to imagine this guy's face when Maureen, in characteristically salty terms, puts him right about his chances of staying very long in her flat. But Maureen mostly lapses into memories, weaving in and out of reality as she tells us Alec (her deceased husband) will be coming in soon. She sees him at the end of her bed, imagines he's asking her to go home with him. Soon she's taken herself to the bus stop – and when, on the top deck, a sad young Londoner asks her if she's ok, she's convinced he's Peter. And no, she's not pleased to see him. Although it's certainly not necessary to know Edinburgh to enjoy this show, some references will particularly hit home with locals. Maureen's thoughts on the St James's Shopping Centre raised a lot of laughs with Saturday's audience, as did Alan's opinions on a prawn curry. And again, the ending of Maureen's story is poignant rather than tragic. As she reaches the last part of her eventful life, she's happy reliving her memories with Ross. He looks after her ('better than Peter'!!!) Athens of the North is a very entertaining show, and one that's full of humanity. It's not only the rich and famous who have a story to tell; people are endlessly fascinating, and Mark Hannah brings these three vignettes of 'ordinary' people's lives to the stage with tremendous warmth and skill. The audience loved the show, and so did I. Athens of the North is at the Scottish Storytelling Centre, 43-45 High Street (Venue 30) at 3.15pm every day until 9 August, then on alternate days (starting with 11 August) until 23 August.

Not your average Dad jokes: the comedian that all my mum friends fancy
George Lewis has been my maternity leave companion. The 37-year-old comedian from Stockport clocks up hundreds of thousands of views for his Instagram reels. Mums on maternity leave, he tells me, form a big bulk of his audience. I can see why. On the trials of parenting young children, he is brilliantly entertaining and instantly relatable — an antidote to all those social media accounts sharing visions of perfect parenting. And fellow mums admit to a bit of a crush on Lewis. With his very good hair and cheeky grin, he is a dad you might not mind bumping into at the school gate. He started posting comedy sketches on Instagram during the pandemic and it was the parenting ones that struck a chord. He has three children, aged two, five and seven, with his wife, Harriet, and 625,000 remarkably well-behaved Instagram followers. His series in which two toddlers chat to one another like adult friends is among his most popular content. The toddlers (both played by Lewis) discuss the devastation of dropping a piece of banana on the floor, adding 'character' to blank, freshly painted walls with a crayon, and the impact of dropping the daytime nap: 'Maybe it has affected me a little bit.' We've all been there.

David Gray delighted as Hibernian respond to Midtjylland loss with win at Dundee
The Easter Road boss admitted it was a 'difficult' decision to make just one change to the side that started Thursday's extra-time defeat by Midtjylland in the Europa League. However, Gray was rewarded with a strong display as Kieron Bowie's first-half double proved enough to overcome a Dee side who pulled one back through Fin Robertson. 'I'm delighted because after everything the players put in Thursday night, everybody would be looking at today's game wondering would there be a hangover, how will the players react the first time they went Thursday-Sunday,' the manager said. 'The players reacted in the best possible way with a real professional performance. I thought we controlled the game from start to finish.' Gray was heartened to see recently-capped Scotland forward Bowie get off the mark so early in the campaign after he endured an injury-disrupted first season at Hibs. 'That's the reason he was brought to the club,' he said. 'He's suited to Scottish football as well, with the physicality, he really enjoys that side to the game. 'The confidence levels will be high with the Scottish recognition as well, which is fantastic for him on a personal note, but he's working hard every day, he's getting fitter, he's getting stronger and really benefiting from a strong pre-season.' Gray was typically coy when asked about the future of defender Lewis Miller, who is understood to be close to joining Blackburn. The Australian is currently recovering from injury. 'There has been interest in him, but right now he's still a Hibs player and until he's not, my focus is on trying to get him back on the pitch as quick as we can,' he said. Dundee boss Steven Pressley said he saw some 'green shoots' of recovery against the Hibees after his side's demoralising Premier Sports Cup group-stage exit last month. However, the 51-year-old, taking charge of a match in Scotland's top flight for the first time in 15 years, felt they were 'nervy' in possession and was keen to stress the scale of the task he inherited in June. 'Almost every single goal from the team of last season was not there today,' said Pressley, whose talismanic captain Simon Murray missed out with injury. 'It's a big rebuild. I'm not trying to pull the wool over anybody's eyes. 'There's a lot of hard work ahead. We probably need another six players in to bolster the squad and it's a real challenge.'
