The Long-Term Girlfriend’s Explosive Claims of Physical and Mental Abuse – Including Three Abortions to Protect His Career – Backed by Photos, Messages, and Records, Prompt Merseyside Police Probe
Shocking news has rocked the Liverpool FC community and the wider football world: Saffie Khan, the long-term girlfriend of Reds midfielder Curtis Jones, has publicly denounced the 24-year-old star in a devastating Instagram post accusing him of years of physical and mental abuse, including forcing her to have three abortions because she feared it would derail his burgeoning career. The allegations, laid bare in a 1,200-word thread viewed 2.8 million times in 24 hours, are backed by graphic evidence – injury photos, threatening text messages, and secret medical records – that have left fans stunned and prompted an immediate investigation by Merseyside Police. “This happened just months after we welcomed our first daughter,” Khan wrote, her voice raw with pain. “I stayed silent for too long – no more.” The incident has shattered Jones’ image as the boy-next-door Scouser, with Anfield reeling and calls for his suspension growing louder by the hour.
Khan, 23, a model and influencer with 86,000 Instagram followers, and Jones have been dating since 2019, their relationship a fixture in Liverpool tabloids. They welcomed daughter Giselle in October 2024, with Jones gushing on social media: “Daddy’s lucky charm.” But behind the glamour, Khan claims a darker reality. In her post, timestamped 9:47 p.m. Wednesday, she details a pattern of abuse beginning in 2021: “Curtis would lose control over small things – my outfits, who I texted – and it escalated to slaps, shoves, bruises I hid with makeup.” Photos show black eyes and arm welts dated 2022 and 2023, allegedly from “training arguments” that turned violent.
The most harrowing claims involve three abortions in 2021, 2022, and early 2024. “He said a baby would ‘ruin my focus’ – end my England call-up dreams,” Khan alleged, sharing redacted clinic records and texts like “Get it done or we’re done – think of my career.” She claims the first was coerced during a Champions League run; the second after a World Cup qualifier; the third, just before Giselle’s birth, when she “feared for my safety.” “I loved him – stayed for the good times,” she wrote. “But no more silence.”
Merseyside Police confirmed Thursday: “We are aware of serious allegations made online regarding Curtis Jones and have launched an investigation. Anyone with information should contact us.” Jones’ team issued a denial: “These claims are false and defamatory – we will defend vigorously in court.” Liverpool FC placed him on “administrative leave” pending review, with manager Arne Slot saying, “We take this extremely seriously – Curtis is cooperating fully.”
Fans are divided. #JusticeForSaffie trended with 1.8 million posts, supporters praising her bravery: “Breaking silence saves lives – good on Saffie.” #StandWithCurt countered with 950k, calling it “money grab post-breakup.” The couple split amicably in June 2025, co-parenting Giselle, but Khan’s post hints at deeper fractures: “I hid the bruises for our daughter – no more.”
Khan, signed to M Models Management, has appeared in Liverpool fashion shoots and shared family glimpses, but her post marks a pivot to advocacy. “For every woman scared to speak,” she concluded. As police probe deepens, one truth emerges: in football’s gilded world, shadows lurk – and silence ends here
