Cole Palmer’s girlfriend Olivia Holder has jetted off after the Chelsea star withdrew from England duty, sharing stylish airport snaps with fans.
Cole Palmer’s girlfriend Olivia Holder has sparked a wave of attention on social media after sharing photos from the airport just days after the Chelsea star withdrew from England duty.
Holder appeared to be preparing to travel abroad after posting a series of photographs from Gatwick Airport on Instagram.
The 24-year-old model was pictured with her suitcase as she posed inside the airport ahead of her trip.
In the photos, Holder wore pink tracksuit bottoms with a matching casual look and a tank top featuring the words “pink princess” across the front.
The Instagram update quickly attracted attention from her followers, with fans filling the comments section with compliments about her airport outfit and appearance.
One follower wrote “Barbieeee,” while another described her as “so prettyyyyyy.”
A third fan commented “Airport slay,” while another joked: “G2G but let me look good first.”
One follower even referenced Palmer’s England withdrawal while reacting to Holder’s latest pictures, writing: “No wonder Cole Palmer withdrew from the England squad.”
There is no indication that Palmer accompanied Holder on the trip, and the Chelsea midfielder had already returned to his club after leaving England camp.
Palmer had initially been selected for England during the international break, but he subsequently withdrew from the squad because of a minor muscular issue and a decision around managing his workload.
The 24-year-old was expected to be part of England’s plans for four Nations League fixtures, but his withdrawal meant he returned to Chelsea for further assessment and treatment.
Palmer was not the only England player to leave the squad during the international break.
Marcus Rashford, Kobbie Mainoo, Tino Livramento and Declan Rice were also among the players who withdrew.
England captain Harry Kane subsequently addressed the departures and said he trusted his teammates to make the right decisions for their individual circumstances.
Kane acknowledged the demanding nature of the football calendar, particularly for players competing regularly in the Premier League.
He also pointed out that his own situation is different because he plays in Germany, where he has a winter break that provides additional time to recover.
The England captain said every player has to look after themselves and put their own wellbeing first, adding that he trusted the players involved.
While Palmer’s England withdrawal has been the focus of football attention, Holder’s latest Instagram post has given fans another glimpse into her life away from the pitch.
Holder has built her own social media following and currently has more than 32,000 followers on Instagram. She regularly shares fashion, fitness and lifestyle content with her audience.
Her relationship with Palmer has also generated increasing interest among Chelsea supporters and football fans.
The pair reportedly first met when they were teenagers, although their relationship later became more widely known.
They were linked publicly after spending time together at London’s Winter Wonderland in Hyde Park last year.
Since then, Holder has occasionally appeared on social media with posts that have attracted attention from football fans.
She has previously received praise for her fitness-focused content, including a birthday workout post that led fans to nickname her the “Pilates Princess.”
Holder has also shared fashion and athleisure looks, including a previous all-blue outfit that prompted plenty of positive reactions from her followers.
Her latest airport appearance follows the same pattern, with fans once again focusing on her outfit and glamorous travel style.
Meanwhile, Palmer’s immediate priority remains his recovery after returning to Chelsea.
The midfielder has become an important figure for both club and country, meaning his fitness has naturally been closely watched whenever he misses international duty.
His decision to withdraw from England was linked to the minor muscular issue and workload management, rather than any indication that he had ended his international career.
With Palmer back at Chelsea for further assessment and Holder apparently travelling abroad, the couple are currently pursuing separate schedules.
For Holder, her latest Instagram post provided another snapshot of her lifestyle and gave her followers a glimpse of her journey from Gatwick Airport.
The response was immediate, with fans once again flooding her comments with compliments and playful messages about her latest look.
