Social media influencer GK Barry looked stunning as she posed on the red carpet ahead of the BRIT Awards 2025
GK Barry had all eyes on her as she arrived on the red carpet of this year’s BRIT Awards wearing a special piece of jewellery.
The internet personality, 25, GK wowed in a plunging black gown with sequinned and feather detailing. She styled her hair in perfect curls and completed the look with a simple necklace and two bangles. One bangle was engraved with ER, her girlfriend Ella Rutherford’s initials in a sweet nod to her
Ella, 24, who plays for Premier League side Ipswich Town, has been dating the social media influencer – whose real name is Grace Keeling – since early 2024. The couple, who have been “inseparable” since they started dating, are even discussing getting married and having children together.
Her and Ella first made contact when Grace followed the footballer on social media, while Ella recovered from knee surgery. They went on to share a holiday together and met each other’s families. And now GK has confirmed that the she knows her partner will pop the question – but only when they have spent time building their careers.
GK, who took part in I’m A Celebrity last year, told The Sun on Sunday she and Ella want to settle down and have children one day. Speaking to the publication, she said: “One day, it’s going to happen. Not yet. We’re both set on doing well in our careers. Then she’ll get down on one knee!”
The reality star went on to joke one particular habit almost stopped their romance from happening. GK admitted she took issue with one of Ella’s staple meals. The football star would reportedly only eat “mince and eggs” for her dinners, which GK admits was “a bit of an ick”.
Elsewhere in the interview, GK discussed how she went from working in Costa to being a panellist on Loose Women. The 25-year-old admitted her parents were apprehensive about her packing in her ‘normal’ job to commit to her media career. GK proudly talked about her relationship while on ITV’s I’m A Celebrity.
The star revealed last year: “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.”
And recounting a situation when her parents came to visit while Ella was under the roof, and they asked who she was. GK simply told her family: “I told them ‘Oh. she’s my girlfriend’. They just love her, they never had an issue with it. To be fair I feel like the closet may have been glass!”
