Rugby players who have dated celebrities, including Joe Marchant

It almost comes with the territory doesn't it? Become a celebrity, date a celebrity.

We all know about Mike Tindall and Zara Phillips, as well as James Haskell's marriage to the daughter of Richard and Judy, but plenty of other top rugby stars are currently sharing their lives with famous folk.

With that being said, here are five top footballers who have dated famous people.

One of the best known cases of the Strictly Curse involved Cohen, who left his wife, the mother of his twin daughters, in 2014 after appearing in the 2013 series.

He later announced that he was in a relationship with Rihanoff and the couple are still together now, having welcomed a daughter in 2016.

Cohen's ex-wife Abby Blayney unsurprisingly had something to say about her former husband's time on the show, but has since apologised for insulting Rihanoff.

His relationship with the singer has been well covered by the media in the United Kingdom. On 20 September 2007, Church gave birth to a daughter.

On 11 January 2009, Church gave birth to the couple's second child, a son. On 31 May 2010, Henson and Church announced that their relationship was over, only two months after they had announced their engagement

The England fly-half  has previously dated high-profile models Kelly Brook and Katie Price. His love life has been a bit more low key since his most recent high-profile girlfriend TV sports presenter Kirsty Gallagher. The relationship fizzled out after six months in 2016. Other famous romances include Lindsay Lohan, one of the Cheeky Girls and briefly the late Love Island host Caroline Flack.

Basically the more you google, the more girls names come up, ha-ha.

Price wrote: "In my experience he was a bit – erm – lean in the most obvious departments.

"That’s why I nicknamed him Danny Chipolata. He can no longer hit the right spots on the rugby field and he certainly can’t find them on a woman."

She is one of Alan’s three children with wife Lainya, who he met early on in his illustrious career, while playing for Southampton.

The 25-year old singer has shared numerous shots with the popular speedster, who has represented his country four times.

Photos shared across social media suggest Hollie’s relationship with the 26-year-old is still in its early stages.

The most famous of all the rugby/celebrity relationships.

They became close after meeting at an early morning fitness class. Worried ex-footballer Gary ­Lineker warned his married pal: “This woman is trouble”, but Will did not listen.

Carling, now 51, has always denied an affair, insisting recently: “I was a good friend to her for a period of time, and that was it.”

Okay Will, we believe you. Mate dates they were.
