The 26-year-old Manchester United player has been single since breaking up with his childhood sweetheart Lucia Loi in the summer of 2023.
Erica told the Liverpool Echo: ‘I have a lot of Scouse in me thanks to my environment and my upbringing, but my first language was Spanish and my Latin culture is deeply rooted in who I am.’
A modeling agency discovered her in the city center when she was only 13 years old and asked her to participate in a fashion show at the Anglican Cathedral.
Erica recalled “falling in love” with the experience and said she knew immediately that it was the career she wanted to pursue.
Since then, he has traveled the world with this work and has spent time in India, Greece, Milan and Los Angeles working on campaigns.
Erica’s professional credits include appearances in top magazines such as GQ, Grazia, Harper’s Bazaar, and Women’s Health.
She has fronted skincare, makeup and clothing campaigns, working with household names such as ASOS, JD, Next, Revolve and Puuma.
Erica has also worked with NARS, Miss Selfridge, Nabla Cosmetics, Pinko and Philip Lim.
In 2018, Erica appeared in Tom Grennan’s music video for his song Sober, where she played his love interest.

She will also be recognized for her work with online fashion retailers Misspap, PrettyLittleThing, Boohoo, Misguided and I Saw It First.
Speaking about her dreams to the publication, Erica said: ‘Honestly, my aspiration in life is to be calm and happy. I always wanted a job where I could do something different every day. I have that and that was my biggest goal.
“My biggest dream as a model was to walk for Victoria’s Secret, but of course the show doesn’t exist anymore, so I think walking on a big catwalk would always be at the top of my list.”
If she weren’t working as a model, Erica revealed that she would write a book or go back to school.
It is unknown how long Erica and Marcus had been dating before they were spotted at BLVD Manchester night bar.

The pair are believed to have ended the evening in the bar’s VIP area at Slow Jam Soiree, an R&B night at the venue, and Rashford’s entourage is said to have shielded the pair from prying eyes as they enjoyed an intimate conversation.
A spokesman for Rashford confirmed to the Sun that the player had enjoyed an evening with friends at the club.
A source told the publication: “Whatever his form on the pitch, off it Marcus is delivering the goods.”
“It looked like the cat who put the cream on Erica’s arm. They were having fun.
“Marcus and Erica were tactile and clearly enjoyed each other’s company.”
In November last year, it looked like Marcus may have rekindled his relationship with his Lucia after they were spotted together on a date night. He was said to have booked a restaurant in Manchester for a romantic evening.
Their first joint appearance since their split sparked speculation that the former couple were giving it another go.
He previously revealed that he regularly travels to his native Colombia and describes both the South American country and Liverpool as his “home”.
A modeling agency discovered her in the city center when she was only 13 years old and asked her to participate in a fashion show at the Anglican Cathedral.
According SunMarcus rented the cellar of a French wine bar with capacity for 18 people to spend the evening with Lucía, also 26 years old.
Clearly no expense was spared for the lavish night out, as bottles of champagne at the bar apparently sell for £950.
A source said: “They were there for hours laughing and joking. It’s a really nice place and he booked the entire place just for the two of them. “I couldn’t stop smiling.
The couple, who met and started dating at school, called off their engagement last year.
The English footballer got engaged in May 2022 but, according to a source, “the relationship ran its course” and the couple remained “very close friends.”
A source told MailOnline of the split: ‘Marcus and Lucia have not been together for several months. It’s not complicated at all; The relationship continued its course and they remain very close friends and have a lot of respect for each other.
“Marcus is focused on the next phase of his football career and is putting all his attention on that. He is about to return to the UK after a successful trip coaching children in Miami, and is heading to the England training camp this week.
