But Chanelle, 20, was shocked to find out the 19-year-old defender has been living with girlfriend Katie Abram and the couple have a two-year-old daughter, Tamia, with another child on the way.
Chanelle was said to be devastated when she heard the news, claiming she had no idea Hines was already spoken for.
A friend told the Daily Star: "She's devastated. She really liked him and though it was in its early stages she thought they could make a go of it.
"Chanelle knew nothing of his live in partner, child, or that there another on the way."
Hines denied the affair to Katie, 19, claiming he had only taken Chanelle to the cinema while they were briefly separated.
A friend of Kate said: "Katie doesn't blame Chanelle for what happened. She accepts she was not to know Seb's situation."
"She knows she's a star and very pretty but she's not threatened by her. Katie is stunning in her own right and has been approached to model."
Chanelle's spokesman said: "Chanelle has dated Seb Hines on a couple of occasions.
"She was unaware of the circumstances and doesn't wish to comment."
