JACK GREALISH has become a dad for the first time after partner Sasha Attwood gave birth to their baby.
The childhood sweethearts have announced the arrival of little Mila while her dad is on England duty.
Grealish and Sasha, who have been together for ten years, shared a pic of the tot gripping a finger with the words “Mila Rose Grealish 27/09/24”, suggesting she was born last month.
The happy news led to lots of well-wishes from Grealish’s team-mates from the present and the past, with England pal Declan Rice sharing a heart emoji.
Former England star Dele Alli posted “Congrats” with a string of heart emojis, while Aston Villa ace Ross Barkley echoed that with: “Congrats lad.”
Villa hero Ian Taylor posted: “Congratulations mate!”
Grealish’s former Villa Park team-mate Gabriel Agbonlahor wrote: “Congrats bro.”
And ex-Netherlands international Tim Krul issued the following emojis: “.”
Grealish competed for Manchester City on September 28 during a 1-1 draw with Newcastle at St James’ Park, meaning he appears to have gone back to work a day after Mila’s birth.
The couple announced they were expecting in July with Sasha showing off her big baby bump.
She shared the good news on social media along with the caption: “Half of me, half of you – beyond blessed .”
While Grealish, 28, wrote: “Life’s biggest blessing .”
Sasha spent a lot of her pregnancy testing out different clothing and offering tips and advice for other mums-to-be.
She signed a lucrative deal with PrettyLittleThing in the summer and began plugging the brand’s maternity wear to her thousands of social media followers.
Grealish, who is back in the England side after his Euros heartache in the summer, and Sasha first started dating when they were teenagers at school together in Solihull.
Sasha has been with the midfielder throughout his professional football career – supporting him at Villa before the £100million move from their hometown of Birmingham to Manchester in 2021.
She celebrated with the winger on the pitch as he won his second Premier League title with City earlier this year.
Sasha, 28, has helped Grealish ditch his party boy persona and they now have a family, welcoming their child into their £5.6million Cheshire mansion with their beloved apricot cockapoo Skye.
Grealish was given Skye as a birthday present by Sasha, and calls her the “world’s best dog”.
The couple enjoy a glamorous lifestyle which includes five-star holidays to places like Sardinia and Dubai.
