After Man City secured an historic fourth successive Premier League title on Sunday, Sasha, who has been with Jack since they were 16, made sure to cheer him on in the sidelines.
While the childhood sweethearts tend to keep their relationship on the down low, Sasha couldn’t help but show off Jack.
She captioned her post: ‘Champions X4. What a team, so proud!’
Sasha and Jack put on a loved-up display after the game, cuddling arm-in-arm while posing for a picture to capture the memorable moment.
Jack recently spoke out after his Cheshire mansion was raided for £1million worth of jewellery by thieves on Boxing Day while his family were inside.
The footballer spoke of his devastation over the ‘traumatic’ incident which left his loved ones terrified, as he insisted their safety is his number one priority.

Following Man City’s win, Jack and other England star’s are expected to spend thousands of pounds on ‘military grade’ security measures to protect their homes during the Euros after a spate of break-ins
Sasha was with his family watching Jack’s match at their home and hit a panic button when the burglars struck.
It is thought 10 relatives – including Sasha, his parents, two sisters and brother – were at the property at the time of the burglary.
Sharing a picture of himself with his dog, Jack addressed the incident for the first time on Instagram on Sunday, describing the incident as ‘traumatic’.
Jack’s family were forced to run and hide for cover inside the £5.6million mansion that Jack only moved into before Christmas, while police told neighbours to lock their doors and stay in their homes.
Police, fearing they could face a potential hostage situation, rushed to the scene and even had a helicopter search the area, but the offenders were able to escape with £1million worth of jewellery.
Sasha was left ‘terrified’ by the Boxing Day raid – and no longer feels safe on her own in the property, sources told MailOnline.
They are set to spend around £250,000 on infra-red and night-vision cameras plus around-the-clock security for the duration of the tournament in Germany
A source said: ‘Sasha is in pieces over this. Sasha has had to deal with death threats and online abuse over and over again during the time she’s been with Jack.
‘But this feels very different. For people to come into her new home in this way has left her terrified. She’s not been on her own since it happened and right now doesn’t want to be.
‘Jack is particularly angry about the impact this has had on Sasha. They’ve been together nearly half of his life and he loves her to bits.
‘He will now do anything to protect her. They’ve got their dream home but it means nothing if she’s not happy and Jack wants her to feel as safe in it as possible.’
