Stunning Iris’s Instagram grid has so far attracted 758,000 followers who go wild for her striking fashion snaps and far-flung adventures.
Among them is Trent, who has been spied liking Iris’s recent posts including a visit to the beach and goofy shopping trips with pals.
One eagle-eyed fan commented: “I see you Trent.”
Another wrote: “Why Trent like this post?”
The Liverpool star is one of England’s best young prospects and he might have already converted Iris into a fan of the reds.
A recent social media post saw her wearing what looked to be a retro red football top along with a beating heart emoji.
The daughter of actor Jude Law has designer fashion credentials, and her love of clothing is a mutual interest.
Earlier this year Trent, who will represent his country at the Euros this summer, jetted to Milan for Fashion Week where he was pictured at the Dolce & Gabbana catwalk.
Iris was also in the city in February, walking the runway for Tom Ford. Could her appearance have caught Trent’s eye?
A source said the duo, who officially met last month on a fashion shoot, are “excited to see where things go”.
Iris, 23, and Trent, 25, met while filming 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.
