Jack Grealish becomes first time dad as England star and girlfriend announce birth of their baby

Jack Grealish and his girlfriend, Sasha Attwood, have welcomed their first child together.

The Manchester City forward, 29, took to social media to share a black and white photo of him holding his baby's hand.

"Mila Rose Grealish 27/09/24," the caption read.

Attwood, 28, also shared the same image on her Instagram feed, calling it 'the most special moment of my life'.

According to The Sun, the pair started dating as teenagers back in their Solihull school days.

Attwood has reportedly been with the footballer throughout his pro career after Grealish made his senior debut for Aston Villa in 2014 prior to his big-money transfer to City in 2021.

The attacking midfielder, who now plays in the left forward position, has already won two Premier League trophies, one FA Cup, one Champions League and one EFL Cup with City.

Following the Manchester club's historic treble win, Grealish was left out of the Euro 2024 squad by England manager Gareth Southgate.

Grealish admitted that he was left 'heartbroken' over the incident.

England, of course, lost 2-1 to Spain in the Euro 2024 final.

During a pre-season tour press conference, Grealish said: "When you are on your holidays, every time you turn on the phone or the TV you just see it [the tournament], so it was hard not to see.

"I'll be honest, football-wise it was the most difficult thing I've ever had to deal with in terms of my own career.

"I was absolutely heartbroken. For myself now moving forward, I have to just try and use that as motivation going into this season.

"I felt I should have been in the [England] squad. I feel like I offer something different to players in the England squad. But it is what it is.

"As I said, it was the hardest moment for me as a footballer. I've had a lot of ups and downs in my career."

However, Grealish has now been reinstated back in the England squad following Southgate's departure.

After scoring on his return to the team in September, he said: “I need to start playing regularly and scoring goals, that is what I did today.

“I still don’t feel 100 per cent fit but I am getting there. From a personal point of view, I am happy.

“It meant everything, just going to the fans at the end and hearing them cheer my name and stuff.

“Listen, there is no better feeling than playing for England, especially in games like this, when the whole nation is watching.

“I have said it before in another interview, the summer was one of the worst of my life because you can’t not see what is happening in front of you. It was difficult but it has given me more resolve to bounce back.”
