Foden’s ‘innocent’ flirtation that sparked their beach brawl and breakup

At the end of last June Phil Foden occupied the headlines of the press in much of Europe for a new scandal. After a spectacular end to the season, the Manchester City footballer went to the Greek island of Corfu to enjoy a well-deserved vacation with Rebecca Cooke, his lifelong girlfriend. However, the situation blew up when the young woman took advantage of the fact that her partner was in the water to check her mobile phone and seeing something that made her so angry that they were both forced to leave the beach club they were at.

Cooke criticized Foden’s attitude and did not stop yelling things like “we can’t take you anywhere”, “you think i’m stupid” o “you always do the same”, but the reason for the discussion was a mystery. Until now. As revealed exclusively by the British tabloid The Sun, the dispute arose over a controversial like that the soccer player gave in the month of March to a photograph in underwear of Holly Burnsone of the UK’s most popular reality TV stars thanks to his appearance on ‘The Cabins’.

“Holly is a stunning girl and she obviously attracts the interest of a lot of people.”, Said a source for the English medium. “It was just some innocent flirting online, it was nothing more than that”, he added. But for Rebecca Cooke, mother of two children with Foden, it was enough to get angry with him since they had already had another reason for confrontation: Phil’s alleged attitude when someone asked him for photos, something he refused but that was different when it was women who approached, according to witnesses.

Holly Burns is a blockbuster, influencermakeup artist and also works as a stewardess. She has more than 119,000 followers on Instagram and participated in ‘The Cabins’, a reality show in which they shared 24 hours with a bachelor with whom she ultimately did not form a relationship. According to her, she doesn’t want to be with someone famous because it’s always more complicated.
