The social media sensation who recently started dating a Six Nations star has been turning plenty of heads and it’s not hard to see why from these photos
Six Nations star Louis Rees-Zammit has returned to British shores after a brief stint in the NFL – and he’s brought more than memories back home with him.
The Wales rugby ace, 25, went public with his relationship with American influencer Drew Knotts last year and the pair have now moved in together back in the UK. After 18 months in the States playing American football for the likes of the Kansas City Chiefs and the Jacksonville Jaguars, Rees-Zammit returned to rugby union in August 2025, signing for the Bristol Bears.
He announced shortly afterwards that his new squeeze, 27-year-old Drew, would be joining him in the move. The pair confirmed their romance while enjoying a lavish break in Dubai, where Rees-Zammit posted a string of sun-drenched photos showing them exploring the desert and sharing intimate evening meals.

Who is Drew Knotts?
Although she is now attracting attention within the rugby scene, Drew Knotts is well acquainted with the spotlight and the world of headline-making relationships. The Florida native previously dated online star Tayler Holder, who commands millions of followers across TikTok and YouTube.
That said, Drew has built a thriving career in her own right. With close to 30,000 followers on Instagram, she has become a recognised lifestyle and fashion influencer, regularly teaming up with brands such as Kickstand Cocktails. She posts regularly on social media, filling her pages with stunning bikini snaps and photos from her globetrotting adventures.
Hailing from Plant City, Florida, Drew was raised in a deeply sporting environment. Before stepping into social media, she stood out as a talented footballer.
Her explosive speed – a quality she shares with her new partner – helped her shine at high school level before she went on to compete in college soccer for Southern Mississippi University and Georgia Southern.
Sporting excellence runs strongly in her family – her brother currently represents Texas Tech University in American football, which may have helped her understand and support Louis throughout his brief spell in the NFL.
A new chapter in Wales
After linking up with the Bristol Bears, Rees-Zammit revealed that his girlfriend would be relocating permanently from Florida to Wales. “I took her to the Wales v Ireland game for the Six Nations,” he said when discussing their relationship.
“She really enjoyed it. She doesn’t have a clue what rugby is! When she saw that kind of environment, she really wanted to watch me play rugby. It’s something I can give her now, I can allow her to learn rugby, she’ll learn a lot from my family, the rules and the crowd. She’s really looking forward to it. It’s going to be a big change for her.
“She’s moving permanently. Depending on visas and stuff, there’s a lot to do with getting over to America and vice versa. I experienced that first-hand. But she’s obviously doing the opposite to what I did. I went over there, lived there But now she’s coming back and living in Wales.”
Last month, Knotts posted a stream of updates charting her move to the UK, showing she has fully embraced her new surroundings. Rather than watching from afar, she has thrown herself into British culture and has been a constant presence as her boyfriend launches his high-profile return to competitive rugby.
The social media personality was seen supporting from the terraces at Ashton Gate during a Bristol Bears fixture, before travelling to London to soak up famous landmarks such as Big Ben.
The couple also enjoyed a classic British evening at Alexandra Palace, joining the lively crowd for the World Darts Championship. In one snap, she posed in stunning knee-high boots with a set of rugby posts in the background, sending fans crazy in the comments section.
“You are miss perfect,” one follower wrote. A second said: “Absolutely gorgeous,” while a third fawned: “Cutest thing ever.”
What lies ahead for the pair remains to be seen, but as Rees-Zammit chases tries and silverware in 2026, he clearly has a world-class partner alongside him to help manage the demands of life in elite sport.
