Iris, 23, and Trent, 25, met while filming on a shoot last month with Guess Jeans, for which they are both ambassadors.

A fashion insider said: “They hit it off immediately, swapped numbers and started to follow one another on Instagram. Since then they’ve been regularly WhatsApping and getting to know each other.”

The pair arranged to go on a first date in London on Tuesday after Trent was given a couple of days off.

The source went on: “Iris is based in London and Trent was down in the capital after a weekend game against West Ham.

They arranged, fairly impromptu, to meet up for a coffee — a smoothie in Trent’s case — and a walk around Portobello Market.

“It’s early days but both their respective sets of friends very much approve of this pairing, and it’s proving good fun for them both.”

Trent has become a household name as a Liverpool and England regular.

But Iris first sprung to public attention aged two, when she inadvertently picked up an Ecstasy tablet at London club Soho House.

She had been attending a little pal’s birthday party when mum Sadie saw her swallow it.

She was whisked to hospital and luckily no damage was done - although Soho House was nearly shut down.

As an early introduction to showbiz rock ‘n’ roll, it was quite something. Oh, and her godmother is supermodel Kate Moss.

Since then, however, Iris has quietly shaken off her “nepo-baby” label and forged her own career path as a model and actress.

After graduating from Central Saint Martins — whose alumni include Stella McCartney, Paloma Faith and Alexander McQueen — she made her film debut in 2016 in Will Nature Make A Man of Me Yet? Granted, it also starred her mum.

In 2021 she boldly shaved off her hair — declining to wear a bald cap — for a role in Danny Boyle’s six-part punk series Pistol.

She told Vogue: “I wanted to do something that felt liberating.

“The day I shaved my head, I changed my life.”

She has been made a face of Burberry, is beauty ambassador for Dior and has featured in campaigns for Marc Jacobs, JW Anderson and Miu Miu.

She has also appeared on the catwalk at some of the world’s top fashion shows, and was recently on the cover of British Vogue.

A source added: “Iris absolutely has the world at her feet. She is super-talented, but also very down to earth — despite her starry background. She has a very supportive family. Whilst a typical footballer might not be her usual type, Trent is not your average Premier League star. He’s very smart, and well-connected. On paper, they’re a good match.”

Iris has been tight-lipped about her love life.

One pal said she dated a boy she met at school, taking him to Italy where her dad was filming.

Meanwhile Trent, who has also modelled for Burberry, has been linked to another superstar, Dua Lipa.

The player, who still lives with his mum, is rumoured to be a target for Real Madrid next year when his contract is up.

CLUB MOVE

He is also set to be a key part of England’s Euros squad this summer.

A source adds: “He is well aware the life of a footballer is a relatively short one, and is already thinking about his future off the pitch.

“He has two charitable foundations that he’s very hands-on with, and really enjoys the modelling side to his career. He’s also really close to his family — his brother, Tyler, is his agent — and his mum certainly rules the roost in their household. He really is a lovely boy.”
