Who Is Janine Mackson? Meet The Model and Thomas Partey's Fiancée as He Faces Rape Charges

Janine Mackson is a British model and influencer known for her clean, curated presence on social media. Represented by Body London modelling agency, she has worked with brands in fashion, beauty and wellness while also documenting her lifestyle and travels. Her following grew significantly after revealing she was expecting a child with Arsenal and Ghana international footballer Thomas Partey.

The couple confirmed their relationship publicly in 2023 when Janine posted a pregnancy announcement. Since then, she has shared glimpses of their family life, including the birth of their daughter and a recent engagement post captioned 'Forever', featuring a close-up of a diamond ring. But behind the polished photos, Partey is now at the centre of serious legal scrutiny.

On 2 July 2025, the Crown Prosecution Service authorised the Metropolitan Police to formally charge Partey with five counts of rape and one count of sexual assault. According to authorities, the charges involve three different women, with incidents alleged to have occurred between 2021 and 2022.

• Two counts of rape relate to one woman
• Three counts of rape relate to a second woman
• One count of sexual assault relates to a third woman

Detective Superintendent Andy Furphy, whose team is leading the investigation, said: 'Our priority remains providing support to the women who have come forward.'

The case dates back to February 2022, when police first received a report of rape. After more than two years of investigation, Partey is now set to appear at Westminster Magistrates' Court on 5 August 2025.

Despite the charges, Janine Mackson has continued to show public support for her fiancé. Just days before the court announcement, she posted an Instagram Story of Partey's hand on her thigh, adding a white heart emoji. Comments on her posts have since been limited, possibly due to backlash, but many fans continue to label her a 'ride or die'.

Neither Partey nor Mackson has released a statement addressing the charges. But with court proceedings approaching, and public scrutiny increasing, the influencer's quiet show of loyalty has not gone unnoticed.
