Jack Grealish and his girlfriend, Sasha Attwood, are expecting their first child together after meeting when they were in school together in Solihull, Birmingham
Jack Grealish's girlfriend, Sasha Attwood, first hit the headlines in 2021 when rumours were swirling about the footballer's fidelity.
The Brummie-born WAG, 28, who started dating the Man City star, also 28, when they were in school together in Solihull, aged 15, is a huge supporter of the mid-fielder, who she refers to as "my one".
However, three years ago, Sasha reportedly gave Jack an ultimatum after he was accused of cheating on her with Emily Atack and Love Island's Amber Gill, which he denied.
Fast forward three years and the model and influencer has announced the childhood sweethearts are expecting a baby as she posted a snap of her blossoming bump with the caption "Half of you, half of me. Beyond blessed."
But who is the WAG, who has been keeping the winger company while he's dropped from the Euros as England reach the semi-finals. Here's all you need to know...
Model behaviour
While Jack has been making headlines on the pitch - as well as off them when he was dropped by Gareth Southgate from the England team this summer - Sasha has been forging her own career path. She was reportedly scouted by a modelling agent ahed 13 while out on a shopping trip with her mum in Birmingham.
According to her Instagram, the mum-to-be is represented by Elite Model World and and Jadore Models Manchester. Sasha, who goes by Sasha Rebecca on social media, has modelled from brands such as Boohoo, Lipsy and GHD. When she's not cheering on her boyfriend on the sidelines, the Brummie also has a popular YouTube channel where she uploads beauty routines and style guides.
Cheating rumours
Jack was accused of cheating on Sasha in 2021 after The Sun reported he had been hooking up with Inbetweeners star, Emily Atack, and Love Islander Amber Gill - something he categorically denied, as did Amber.
Reports suggested that Emily had no idea he was involved with his childhood sweetheart, Sasha – while other reports suggested he had appeared on a dating app, thereby reasonably leading women to believe he was unattached.
Emily remained silent, but did unfollow Jack on social media. The fracas resulted in Sasha allegedly giving the Man City star an ultimatum and the pair splitting briefly.
During the drama, Jack attempted to silence the rumours about his love life and alleged cheating. Taking aim at headlines, the star wrote on Instagram : “Please don’t believe everything you read in the newspapers” alongside a smiling emoji and handshake emoji
However, his denial didn't stop reality star Amber being branded a 'homewrecker' as rumours of a romance between her and the Man City star continued to circulate.
The Love Island winner had reportedly enjoyed a string of secret dates with the footballer. However, Amber shared an impassioned video on her Instagram Stories where she denied dating Jack and claimed that the rumours had 'ruined' her real relationship.
She fumed: "Any relationships that I've got going on or any dating get ruined immediately by people going 'This is who she's dating now' and I'm like 'Hold on, am I?' You wanted to know who I was really dating. You'll never find out because of this kind of s**t everyday. Stop lying!"
'Blessed' with a baby
Three years after the cheating rumours, Jack and Sasha announced they are expecting their first child together. The footballer broke the news on his Instagram account on Sunday, sharing a picture of himself hugging his girlfriend, with both of their hands over her blossoming bump.
Jack captioned the snap: "Life’s biggest blessing." Sasha shared the same picture on her account, captioning her post: "Half of me , half of you - beyond blessed."
Responding to the happy news, Jack's teammates shared their well wishes as Manchester City's Erling Haaland posted two heart emojis in response to the news. "Congratulations," replied England captain Harry Kane, while fellow Three Lions star Jude Bellingham wrote: "Congrats brother."
