Brown famously dated former Manchester City players Raheem Sterling and Mario Balotelli – with a relationship beginning with the Italian striker after first meeting him in 2011.

Speaking to The Mirror in 2013 – shortly after he left Manchester City for AC Millan – Brown opened up on her relationship with Balotelli.

In the interview, she claimed: “I really fell for Mario – against my better judgment.

“He told me he wanted us to settle down and have a family. Then I found out he was having a baby with his ex, there were constant stories about him partying with other women, and all the ‘she’s just a friend’ texts.

“So I ended it in November. Mario couldn’t believe it and thought he could sweet-talk me into going back to him.”

Brown also had a short fling with Chelsea winger Sterling back in 2016 after the pair were spotted at a fancy hotel in Manchester.

The model was interviewed by Snoop Dogg in 2012, in which she opened up about her career of switching from the ‘business world’ to modelling.

The ‘Drop It Like It’s Hot’ rapper described the Playboy star as a ‘video vixen’, adding that she was a woman with ‘the mind, the body, the experience, the soul, the struggle, the hustle’ to inspire younger women.

“I have been modelling for six years and presenting in Europe, the UK, Taiwan and America, but before that I was studying. All I did was study,” she said during the interview (via MailOnline).

“I got my BA, then I got my master’s and then I worked as a business manager and then one day I got a commercial for Virgin Atlantic and ever since then I thought there is so much money to be made in commercials, why not?

“I can always go back to the business world. You have to set a foundation for yourself first and foremost. I am not going to be able to model when I am 50.”
