Jack Grealish and his girlfriend Sasha Attwood announced on Instagram on Monday that they have welcomed their first child together.
The Manchester City footballer, 29, and influencer, 28, who are childhood sweethearts, shared an adorable black and white snap of their newborn little girl, who they named Mila Rose Grealish.
She was sweetly wrapped up in a patterned baby grow and a knitted blanket as she slept peacefully while holding the attacking midfielder’s finger.
According to The Bump, in Spanish, Mila comes from the world ‘milagros’ which translates to ‘miracles’.
In Slavic, it comes from the word ‘milu’ which means ‘gracious’.

In England and Wales, Mila has become a popular name for girls in recent years, and in 2022, the Office For National Statistics states that it was the 45th most popular name.
Jack revealed his bundle of joy’s sweet name and that she was born on September 27th. He penned: ‘Mila Rose Grealish 27/09/24’

The day after Sasha had given birth, Jack missed his sides clash against Newcastle at St James Park where the side drew 1-1.
The attacker also sat out of Manchester City’s Champion League game last week against Slovan Bratislava where the blues won 4-0.
Jack has since returned to the field to helped his Manchester City side score victory against Fulham at the Etihad over the weekend.

Fans and the couple’s celebrity friends rushed to their Instagram post to congratulate them as they became a family of three.
Jordan Pickford’s partner Megan penned: ‘Perfection love you so much already Mila Rose. Auntie Megs can’t wait to buy you frilly socks and tutus xxx’.
Danielle Lloyd wrote: ‘Congratulations to you both’, while Love Island stars Tasha Ghouri and Zara McDermott added: ‘Huge congratulations’.
Sasha and England star Jack have been together since they were both 16.
For the Instagram announcement of Sasha’s pregnancy, Jack shared a photo of himself holding Sasha’s growing baby bump .
‘Life’s biggest blessing,’ the England footballer captioned the post, while Sasha wrote: ‘Half of me, half of you – beyond blessed.’
It comes after Sasha revealed, while she was seven months pregnant, that she struggled with finding clothing that fit as she showed off her baby bump in a series of snaps.

Sasha said in a video that while she loves her bump, it has made finding the perfect outfit more difficult.
She explained how everyday outfits like ‘sweats and comfies’ aren’t suitable for all occasions, especially when heading out to a celebratory dinner.
Another challenge for Sasha is footwear – reflecting on how she had previously managed with sandals during the summer months, Sasha admitted: ‘It’s not summer now.’
This is the latest milestone for the couple who have been together for 12 years with the model supporting the footballer throughout his career.
Her own career has flourished and Sasha has taken part in campaigns for brands including L’Oreal, House of Fraser, Boohoo, and, of course, PrettyLittleThing.

The couple have had even more quality time together after a difficult season for Jack in which he suffered several injuries before missing out on the England squad for Euro 2024.
But, Sasha proudly gushed over Jack following Manchester City’s Premier League win in May as she shared a loved-up snap.
And, happily, Jack was officially reinstated into the England squad in August.
Back in December, the Manchester City star’ s £5.6million mansion was hit by thieves who left his property with an estimated £1m in jewellery and watches while he was away at Everton on playing duty.
