SIMPLY irresistible...
Melanie Da Cruz, 26, is the gorgeous girlfriend of Manchester United forward Anthony Martial, and we just can't get enough of her.
Melanie Da Cruz is the gorgeous girlfriend of Anthony Martial
The blonde bombshell made her name on French TV and has been dating the Red Devils star since 2016.
However, their romance began in controversial circumstances when Martial dumped his wife Samantha Jacquelinet two years ago and soon shacked up with Da Cruz.
That hasn't deterred the happy pair, who are expecting their first baby together, Martial's second.
But what do you know about the beautiful babe that stole 22-year-old Martial's heart?
She made her name on reality TV...
Before she met Anthony Martial, Melanie Da Cruz was a French reality TV star
In 2015, Da Cruz appeared on Secret Story - loosely based on our own Big Brother.
She didn't exactly win over the public's affection and was voted out on day 78.
The show came to a premature end on day 85 when the Paris attacks happened in November that year.
Incidentally, Zinedine Zidane's cousin Jonathan appeared in the series and was runner-up.

Social media loves her...
Well, her fans do.
Da Cruz is showered with attention on Instagram and has amassed an insane amount of fans.
Currently, she's adored by 1.7 million followers who follow her every move, whether she's filling up her car with petrol or posing in a bikini on the boat.
She supports her man...
Give her an opportunity and she'll wear a Man United shirt with pride.
Da Cruz often poses in a Red Devils jersey, wearing very little else, and posts the saucy snaps on her Instagram.
Not only does she guarantee herself millions of likes all over the world, she must also score points with her man.
Anthony Martial and Melanie Da Cruz have been dating since 2016
When Da Cruz and Martial began dating, it wasn't best received...
Certainly if you're his ex wife, Samantha.
Back in 2016, Sun on Sunday reported that Martial cheated on his former missus with singer Emily Wademan in 2016.
They tried to work through their problems, but months later Martial dumped Samantha for Da Cruz.
The woman scorned blasted her love rival, insisting Da Cruz was a "prostitute and marriage wrecker" after their relationship fell apart.
But they've proved their doubters wrong...
Almost two years later the pair are as loved up as they were when they first met.
They often share selfies together enjoying holidays in Santorini, Mauritius and Dubai.
And back in February, Da Cruz announced they were expecting.
She broke the news with an online selfie of her lying on a beach next to the words "It's a boy" written in the sand.
Da Cruz added a photo of Martial sucking his phone while celebrating a goal.
Martial already has a two-year-old daughter called Peyton from his marriage to Samantha.
But how long before Martial asks his new beloved to marry him? Looking at these snaps, it surely can't be too long.
