Iris’ friends have disclosed that being a Wag was never really her style, and now it appears that the whirlwind romance between England footballer Trent Alexander-Arnold and model Iris Law has ended.

The pair first crossed paths during a Guess Jeans photoshoot just five months ago, and their chemistry was instant. However, according to Iris’ friends, they have decided to go their separate ways.

They commented: “Trent and Iris had a fantastic summer together and things were going well. But with Trent’s demanding football schedule and Iris’s global work commitments, their lives are becoming more hectic. They had a great time on a family vacation in July and got along very well. Although they are no longer dating, they will stay friends. Iris was very fond of him and enjoyed their time together, but her career is her priority. Being a Wag didn’t quite fit her lifestyle, especially since Trent is based in the North while Iris is in London. They’ve decided to cool things down and remain friends. There are no hard feelings, and Iris only speaks highly of Trent.”

I have to admit, I didn’t see this breakup coming.

We first reported on their relationship in May, when friends mentioned how Trent and Iris connected through Instagram after their Guess Jeans shoot. Their July vacation pictures in the Caribbean seemed to show a perfect couple. They kept their relationship out of the limelight, which was a nice change from the usual celebrity behavior.

However, managing a relationship with someone in the Premier League was always going to be challenging, especially with the travel demands between the M40 and M6.
