Ben Chilwell: Chelsea Star ‘Unveils’ Girlfriend As Graham Potter’s Side Struggles for Form

• Australian model Cartia Mallan shared romantic pictures with Chelsea defender Ben Chilwell
• Chilwell has previously dated Love Island star Joanna Chimonides
• The defender is only coming back from a thigh injury and is yet to complete a full game

Ben Chilwell went official with his Australian girlfriend, Cartia Mallan. Mallan confirmed the relationship on Valentine's Day by posting a series of romantic photos where the Chelsea defender appeared.

Chilwell is only returning to full fitness, having picked up a thigh injury last year. The injury kept him out for close to three months forcing him to agonizingly miss the Qatar World Cup.

Away from the pitch, the defender is winning with his love life taking a huge leap. The Sun reports that Mallan works for the modelling agency Storm that has, in turn, worked with top brands like Prada and Louis Vuitton.

The report further states that the couple spent a week together during the World Cup break. Mallan shared beautiful pictures on Valentine's day of Chilwell pecking her and some of the gifts he presumably got for her.

The 26-year-old started Chelsea's game in Dortmund, where Graham Potter's side fell to a 1-0 defeat. He will be hoping to step up his efforts to full fitness in the coming days as Chelsea battles to secure European football next season.
