England and Real Madrid footballer Trent Alexander-Arnold has been soaking up the Caribbean sun in Barbados with his model girlfriend, Estelle Behnke, during a romantic winter getaway. The trip comes as the 27-year-old right-back faces a significant spell on the sidelines due to a muscle injury.
Sun, Sea, and Setbacks for Real Madrid Star
The couple, who have been dating for over a year after first sparking rumours in November 2024, were pictured enjoying the pristine white beaches of the stunning island. Alexander-Arnold, currently earning a reported £180,000 per week, made the most of his rare downtime, flexing his toned physique during a stroll.
His partner, Estelle Behnke, who boasts over 172,000 Instagram followers, certainly turned heads. She showcased her model figure in a skimpy Goyard bikini and was later photographed rinsing off in an outdoor shower after a dip in the sea.
Recovery Roadblock After High-Profile Transfer
This idyllic escape follows a challenging start to Alexander-Arnold's career at Real Madrid. The club confirmed the player has suffered a muscle injury to the rectus femoris in his left quadriceps. According to Spanish journalist Arancha Rodriguez, the problem is expected to keep him out of action for approximately two months.
This is the second major injury setback for the defender this season, having previously missed seven games across LaLiga and the Champions League with a hamstring issue. The latest diagnosis presents a serious roadblock, leaving him just a few months to secure a permanent starting spot at the Bernabéu and to impress England manager Thomas Tuchel ahead of World Cup squad selection.
Lavish Romance and Past Relationships
Alexander-Arnold's romance with Behnke has included several luxurious trips. Prior to the Barbados holiday, the couple stayed at the £1,500-a-night Aman hotel in Venice in February and have also enjoyed a £600-a-night retreat at the five-star Soho Farmhouse in the Cotswolds.
The footballer's relationship with the model began after his split from Iris Law, the 25-year-old daughter of actor Jude Law. The pair dated for five months after meeting at a Guess photoshoot. A friend suggested there was 'no bad blood' between Trent and Iris, but that 'being a WAG was never really going to be her bag.' Their busy work schedules ultimately clashed.
Despite the current focus on recovery and relaxation, the pressure will soon return for Alexander-Arnold. His immediate future involves rigorous rehabilitation, with the hopes of a triumphant return to the pitch for both club and country later this spring.
