Curtis Jones’s girlfriend praised the Liverpool footballer as she opened up about a ‘shocking’ incident. The Scouse midfielder has had a strong season, with three goals and six assists from a variety of different positions during this campaign.
Jones suffered a setback during Liverpool’s last game as the side were knocked out of the competition by French side PSG at Anfield. They were defeated 4-1 on penalties after Darwin Nunez and Jones missed their spot kicks.

Nevertheless, he is likely to feature again when Arne Slot’s side face Newcastle in the Carabao Cup final on Sunday. Away from the pitch, Liverpool’s number 17 is in a long-term relationship with Saffie Khan.
The Scouse model gives shopping, beauty and lifestyle updates to her 86,000 followers on Instagram. Saffie has also started her own YouTube channel. She posts weekly vlogs showcasing life as a new mum, shopping trips and interior design.
The couple have a daughter together, Giselle Jones, who was born last October. In a video published earlier this month, Saffie opened up about a health scare she faced after giving birth for the first time.
A few hours after Giselle was born, Saffie started to experience a lot of bleeding and was unsure whether this was normal. Then she stood up to go to another room and take a shower but started feeling “really dizzy”.
Saffie said: “There was a lot of blood everywhere. It was very intense. It wasn't looking good. I was in the shower at this point and I was like, oh my gosh, this isn't normal.
“So we got the midwife and they were like, no, this isn't normal. The midwife realised that my uterus wasn't contracting properly. The doctors came into the room and they manually had to remove clots, which was not a nice thing, and obviously Curt had to witness all of this with the baby in his arms, so it wasn't very nice.
“I'm not sure if I was still a bit numb from the epidural to feel the pain of them doing that. I just remember seeing a lot of blood and freaking out a lot, but my bleeding didn't stop after that, so they had to tell me that they were going to have to take me into theatre as an emergency.”
The doctors warned Saffie they might have to give her a blood transfusion. Her own family had left by this point and she was worried about what would happen next.
Saffie said: “It was really scary, and my mum wasn't there anymore because she just left because everything was fine. I was on my own with Curt and the baby at this point. It was the worst thing that could happen because everything went so well at first, so for it to then go bad was the biggest shock.”
It was soon discovered that not all of her placenta had come out, which was causing the bleeding. This was soon removed and Saffie was given a clotting agent to stop the bleeding, as well as a catheter. This is a thin tube that can drain excess fluid from your body.
Saffie said: “If you've had a catheter then you know they're not the nicest of things. I had to have iron transfusion afterwards too, antibiotics to prevent infection, lots of things. I was covered in bruises from injections basically. I've still got little marks on my wrist.”
Saffie praised the medical professionals for their “amazing” work, as well as Jones for looking after their baby. She said: "I'm just so lucky that I also had Curt because he was amazing. He did all the nappies, he did all the feeds, he asked the midwife to teach him how to swaddle her, how to wind her. He was so good.

“I'm so lucky and grateful that I had him and he really supported me. I feel like that's why they have such a good bond now because he was like the first person to hold her, the first person to do all her feeds, and he's just such a good dad. I'm so lucky and our baby girl's so lucky because he adores her.”
