Footballer Jack Grealish and Sasha Attwood Welcome First Child

Jack Grealish, the celebrated Manchester City footballer, and his girlfriend Sasha Attwood have announced the birth of their first child. The couple shared the news on Instagram on Monday, presenting a touching black-and-white photograph of their newborn daughter, Mila Rose Grealish.

The image depicts the infant wrapped in a knitted blanket, clutching her father’s finger, an intimate moment shared with Grealish’s 29 million followers. In his post, Grealish wrote, “Mila Rose Grealish 27/09/24,” indicating her birthdate as September 27, 2024.

Mila is a name of diverse origins, noted for its meanings in different languages. It is derived from the Spanish ‘milagros,’ meaning ‘miracles,’ and in Slavic languages, it is linked to the word ‘milu,’ signifying ‘gracious.’ The name has gained popularity in England and Wales, ranking as the 45th most popular girls’ name according to the Office for National Statistics in 2022.

The couple, who have known each other since childhood, expressed their joy online, with Sasha Attwood commenting, “The most special moment of my life,” while sharing the same photograph. The announcement was met with an outpouring of congratulations from fans and celebrities alike, including well-wishes from Jordan Pickford‘s partner, Megan, and personalities such as Danielle Lloyd and Love Island stars Tasha Ghouri and Zara McDermott.

This joyous event follows a challenging period for Grealish, who recently sat out of key matches due to personal commitments, including a Premier League clash against Newcastle and a Champion League game versus Slovan Bratislava. He returned to the field over the weekend, helping his team secure a victory against Fulham.

Sasha Attwood, a model signed with Elite Models and J’adore Models, has been a significant support in Grealish’s life throughout his career. Her insights into her pregnancy journey were candidly shared with her audience, discussing challenges such as finding suitable clothing as her body changed.

The couple’s relationship, which began when they were both 16, has been marked by mutual support and shared successes. Outside the football pitch, Grealish’s Manchester residence with Attwood is described as expansive, featuring amenities such as a swimming pool and tennis court.
