Ella has also represented the country in under-15, under-16, under-17 and under-19 levels. She is also known for her relationship with GK, which began at some time during summer 2024.
Back in August, GK shared a snap of the couple on her Instagram with the caption: "Happy Birthday babe I love you more and more everyday."
She also previously opened up about her sexuality on Yung Filly's podcast: "I feel like I went very wrong with men. I don't like men anymore. I will never go back to a man. God forbid. Yeah, I just love it. I just love it. I feel like I've got spring in my step. I feel like I'm glowing. It's the lesbian glow. I've got it. And yeah, that's my life update."
The podcaster and social media star, real name Grace Keeling, is currently in the I'm A Celebrity jungle Down Under. Keeling discussed how she met her football-playing partner with her co-stars around the campfire during a recent episode.
"It was by accident I found Ella, through a mutual friend and then I really liked her the first day I met her but I’d never told my parents. I’d mentioned, ‘Oh I’m just going to see my friend Ella’ or ‘I’m staying round Ella’s’ so they’d heard her name."
Eventually Grace's parents became curious about GK's new friend and asked their daughter about her, to which she responded: "Oh. she’s my girlfriend". Keeling revealed that her parents were utterly unbothered and do not have a problem with her sexuality.
"They just love her, they never had an issue with it."
