Wales star Louis Rees-Zammit has dated a Manchester United legend's daughter, a famous YouTuber and an American influencer, but fresh questions surround his latest romance.
The 25-year-old was back in the spotlight following Wales' historic victory over New Zealand in Cardiff.
Away from rugby, his dating history has been almost as eventful.
From dating Paul Scholes' daughter to a public breakup involving cheating allegations, his love life has made headlines on both sides of the Atlantic.
His brief move into American football also sparked romance rumours involving a Sports Illustrated model.
More recently, Rees-Zammit appeared to have settled down with American influencer Drew Knotts.
Here's a look back at his dating history.
Alicia Scholes
Rees-Zammit previously dated Alicia Scholes, daughter of Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.
Their relationship even sparked some friendly rivalry over his international allegiance.
In December 2019, Alicia jokingly suggested the Gloucester youngster was heading for an England debut.
Rees-Zammit quickly corrected her with a simple response: "Wales*".
The winger later revealed that her famous father had also tried to convince him to represent England.
However, the Welshman wasn't interested.
He made his Wales debut in 2020 and went on to become one of the country's most recognisable rugby stars.
The couple eventually separated.
Saffron Barker
Rees-Zammit's relationship with YouTube star Saffron Barker attracted considerably more attention.
The pair made their red-carpet debut at the premiere of The Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds & Snakes in November 2023.
Barker, who appeared on Strictly Come Dancing in 2019, even had the rugby star's initials tattooed on her arm.
However, their romance unravelled in early 2024.
Fans noticed the couple had unfollowed each other on Instagram, while Barker removed photographs of Rees-Zammit from her account.
The influencer subsequently confirmed their separation.
In a statement to followers, she explained:
"I am no longer in a relationship. I am fully focused on my well-being, wonderful family, & career."
She also thanked supporters for their messages during a difficult period.
But the breakup returned to the headlines in March 2026.
Barker made fresh allegations about an unnamed former boyfriend during a vlog filmed in Australia.
According to The Sun, she claimed her ex had cheated and attempted to justify his behaviour by comparing himself to Jay-Z.
"When my ex cheated on me," she began, before recalling his alleged explanation.
Barker claimed he had pointed to Jay-Z and Beyoncé's marriage as an example of a couple overcoming infidelity.
She advised anyone hearing a similar excuse to leave the relationship.
The Sun identified Rees-Zammit as the former boyfriend concerned, although Barker did not name him in the quoted remarks.
The publication also reported that she initially attempted to forgive the alleged betrayal before the relationship ended permanently.
Rees-Zammit has not publicly confirmed Barker's account.
Xandra Pohl
Rees-Zammit's move to the NFL brought another famous name into the picture.
In May 2024, he was romantically linked to American DJ and Sports Illustrated model Xandra Pohl.
The pair were spotted enjoying a day out at the Worlds of Fun amusement park in Kansas City.
At the time, Rees-Zammit was attempting to establish himself in American football after joining the Kansas City Chiefs.
Pohl had already built a considerable following through her modelling career and DJ performances.
Their appearance together sparked speculation about a possible romance.
However, neither publicly confirmed they were dating.
Speaking to Men's Health later that year, Rees-Zammit suggested finding love wasn't his biggest priority.
"I'm open to a relationship, but I'm not forcing one," he explained.
His attention was firmly on making his NFL dream a reality.
Drew Knotts
Rees-Zammit subsequently began a relationship with American influencer Drew Knotts.
The pair went public in April 2025, attending the Strawberry Ball in Plant City, Florida.
Knotts, a former college footballer, had previously dated TikTok personality Tayler Holder.
Their romance appeared to become increasingly serious as they shared photographs and glimpses of their lives together on social media.
Rees-Zammit even reposted pictures of the couple to his Instagram Story with a heart emoji.
When the Welshman abandoned his NFL ambitions and returned to rugby with Bristol Bears, Knotts was expected to join him in Britain.
The couple had also enjoyed trips abroad, including time together in Dubai.
By February 2026, Knotts was being described in media reports as having relocated to Wales to be with him.
It appeared the relationship was going from strength to strength.

Could Louis Rees-Zammit be single again?
However, there are now questions about whether Rees-Zammit and Knotts remain together.
The couple appear to have stopped sharing photographs together in recent months, despite previously posting about their relationship.
Knotts' social media profile also appears to suggest she is based in Florida again.
That would be a notable change from their previously reported plans to live together in Wales.
However, those apparent social media changes have not been independently verified.
Neither Rees-Zammit nor Knotts has publicly announced a separation.
For now, whether the Wales star is single again remains unclear.
