"I never proposed marriage" — Cole Palmer’s pretty girlfriend Connie Grace DENIES fabricated rumours about their breakup

The former girlfriend of the Chelsea star has responded to the misleading fabrications surrounding their reported split.

Chelsea star Cole Palmer and influencer Connie Grace have triggered a flurry of breakup speculation after unfollowing each other on Instagram recently.

The pair, who reportedly dated for roughly three years since meeting as teenagers in Manchester—have not publicly confirmed a split, but their social‑media cold shoulder speaks volumes.

Adding fuel to the fire, social platforms erupted with sensational claims that Connie had supposedly pressured Cole into a marriage proposal — an allegation she quickly debunked.

In a widely shared post on her Instagram Stories, the 23-year-old wrote:

“Don’t believe everything you read online. The lies that people post to get views/likes is so sad! … No I have never proposed a marriage lol.”

She also went further to reveal the barrage of attacks she's had to endure over the viral hoax.

 "It's actually wild the amount of ab¥se I have received from grown men in the last 24hrs!," Connie added.

Although she offered no further insight into the status of their relationship, her refutation has now set the record straight on the most scandalous conjectures—namely that the breakup stemmed from a failed proposal.

At present, Connie’s denial of the proposal rumours seems to have been the only substantive public response.

And as of the time of this report, neither she nor Cole have issued a formal statement confirming a breakup.
