Amber Gill on dealing with 'fake' allegations amid relationship with girlfriend ... trends now

Amber Gill has revealed she's faced allegations of being 'fake' after announcing her latest romance with footballer Jen Beattie.

The former Love Island star, 25, who first sparked dating rumours with the Arsenal defender, 31, at the end of 2022, claimed she can 'deal' with the naysayers since her family and friends have been so accepting.

She told The Mirror: 'I'm so happy. Everybody was really like: "We watched you date a man." I was 21. It's been four years!'

'I think England is progressive in ways because for all my friends and family it was a non-thing. I didn't "come out". I was fine. 

'A couple of people saying I'm a fake? I can deal with that.'

The influencer found fame after winning 2019's Love Island with Greg O’Shea, however they split just 39 days later.

It comes after Amber gave her girlfriend Jen a kiss as the footballer's team won the FA Women's Continental Tyre's League Cup Final on Sunday. 

Jen ran towards the stands after her win where she greeted Amber who threw her arms in the air to celebrate.

An onlooker told The Sun: 'It was lovely to see Amber and Jen so clearly in love and happy. They were both emotional and on a high after the epic win.' 

Jen also took to her Instagram after the match to share a picture with Amber as they put their arms around each other and Amber bit on her medal. 

It is the first time they have posted a snap together on social media after keeping their relationship fairly private up until now.

Amber wrapped up warm in a padded black jacket while Jen looked sporty in her red and white kit.

On her Instagram Story Amber also posted a snap from behind as she hugged Jen and tagged her in the post.
