The mother of the New Look sales assistant who has captivated boxer Floyd Mayweather has insisted it is 'daft' to think the pair might be romantically involved.
Mandy Ball also revealed her daughter Ramarni has a boyfriend as she spoke about the girl's sudden trip to America with the star.
Her comments come after the 19-year-old budding singer jetted halfway across the world with the boxer, who she met at a £600-a-ticket fan event at Bar Sport in Cannock, West Midlands, on February 12.
The trip, which Ramarni is documenting in a series of lavish Instagram posts, sparked a number of rumours and led to AA car mechanic Andre Brown claiming he is Ramarni's boyfriend.
Ms Ball now seems to back Mr Brown's claim as she told The Sun 'don't be daft' when asked whether her daughter and the 38-year-old boxer, who earned £200million last year alone, were having an affair.
She said: 'She’s only 19 and she’s got a boyfriend. I have spoken to her since she landed and she says she is having a whale of a time.
'Floyd asked her if she wanted a holiday in America and why would she refuse. It’s the trip of a lifetime.'
Speaking to MailOnline, her cousin claimed Ramarni, who is believed to earn £6.50 an hour, has not had a boyfriend for around a year.
Mackayla Francis said that Ramarni told them about the budding relationship as long as three weeks ago when they last spoke.
The 18-year-old said: 'I've known her all my life and she's a really bubbly girl but I was quite startled when she sent me videos and pictures of her and Mayweather together.
'She said the other day they were going to go to the movies but they couldn't because of all the paparazzi snapping them.
'They look like such a nice couple - if they have babies they'll be so beautiful.'
The relationship between Ramarni and Mayweather - platonic or not - has been well-document on social media.
Since meeting the star, Miss Ball, a former performing arts student at Dudley College who is said to have been offered a place at a prestigious London drama school, has shared a picture of her posing on the boxer's luxury plane, with the caption 'jet life'.
Photographs taken just hours after the event on February 12 appear to show Miss Ball sitting behind Mayweather in the back of a Rolls Royce as he leaves the venue.
It would seem the boxer was determined to get to know the aspiring singer better as just days later she jetted off to Amsterdam, where the star was continuing his European Victory Tour.
Miss Ball has now taken to her Instagram page share photos and videos of the couple in New York and Los Angeles with her 41,000 followers.
One video clip, apparently taken from a seat on the private jet, suggests she joined the sporting star as he flew from Las Vegas to New York.
Other photographs show the teenager practising her pout in a bathroom mirror. She also captions one: 'Floyd Mayweather made me and my family feel so comfortable. Thank you.'
In another video posted on her account, Mayweather, wearing a cap emblazoned with red stars, is seen draping his arm over Miss Ball’s shoulder, before saying: 'Tell them your story!'. She then replies: 'I’m here with the Floyd.'
He boasts: 'The one and only Floyd ‘Money’ Mayweather' before she blows a kiss.
A member of staff working at New Look, in Dudley, said she was a 'legend':
'She works at the Merry Hill Shopping Centre branch and she's apparently very popular, outgoing and really up for a laugh,' they said.
'Nobody can quite believe how she's managed to do it. She's a legend.'
She said the other day they were going to go to the movies but they couldn't because of all the paparazzi snapping them

Miss Ball's sister Relissa Ricketts, a 21-year-old student, is also believed to be accompanying the boxer and her sister on the trip on the U.S trip.
Last night, she shared a photograph of the trio with the caption: 'Not that deep bruh'.
A friend said: 'Ramarni has got so many followers now on social media, it's amazing. She started off without any, now it's gone through the roof. Everyone is talking about it.
'It's actually quite bizarre, because she's not a particularly confident girl. I don't know how she is going to manage this kind of publicity.'
Yesterday, neighbours living next to the teenage family's £124,000 home, expressed their surprise.
Don Greene, 69, said: 'Not many people from Dudley go out with superstars like Floyd Mayweather.
'She hasn't done bad for herself for a girl from the Black Country. We know her to say hello to and she's a very pleasant bubbly girl.
'She isn't shy that's for sure and I've heard she has dated a rapper previously. Good on her I say, I hope she's having a great time.'
Another local resident, who did not wish to be named, said: 'I'd say she was a bit of a wannabe WAG. She'd always going out to places where footballers go and that sort of thing.
'She wants a singing career of her own and think she wants to just raise her profile really. She'll be loving his play boy lifestyle and who can blame her. There's a few women who would love to be in her shoes right now.'
Miss Ball, who has posted countless other selfies and tongue-in-cheek videos to her Instagram page, is thought to regularly attend events where fans can pay to meet-and-greet their idols.
A friend said she sometimes pays hundreds of pounds to get into the VIP areas and mingle with celebrities.
One photograph shows her with singer and X Factor judge Rita Ora. She captioned the image: 'Great to have Met @ritaora she's so humble and just ridiculously talented so beautiful @ritaora'
In one online post, she revealed she was attending an afterparty of American singer-songwriter Trey Songz, and later uploaded a snap of them together. It was captioned: 'Photo taken by the man him self @treysongz lovely meeting you!'
One friend said: 'I'm not exactly sure how she does it - but she always manages to get herself into these things.'
Fans paid up to £2,000 to meet Mayweather as he appeared in eight UK cities earlier this month.
The boxing superstar retired from the ring in September 2015, after defeating Andre Berto to take his record to 49-0, amassing a staggering £550m personal fortune, during his glittering career.
While Mayweather insists he has hung up his gloves for good, many have doubted his claims, believing it is only a matter of time before he returns in search of reaching his 50th win, surpassing Rocky Marciano's long-standing record of 49.
Mayweather has been linked to a string of women. Last year, he posed for a picture with rumoured girlfriend Doralie Medina, which he re-posted.
They were also pictured with three other women under a mirrored ceiling, which he captioned: 'The king sleeps good every night, from head to toe.'
Mayweather was previously married to Josie Harris, with whom he has three children. He served two months in jail after admitting battery and harassment after police said he punched her in their Las Vegas home.
