Phil Foden and his long-term girlfriend, Rebecca Cooke, have sparked engagement rumours after she was spotted wearing a large diamond ring on her engagement finger this week.
The 24-year-old professional footballer is said to have whisked Rebecca away on a romantic trip to Paris for New Year’s Eve, where he reportedly proposed.
In new photos obtained by The Sun, Rebecca is seen trying to conceal the large ring while out and about.
A source told the publication: ‘The pair of them have been together since they were young and their family and friends have been expecting them to get engaged for a while.’
‘The time seemed right for Phil to pop the question. He took her away to Paris for New Year’s Eve and when they came back Rebecca had a sparkling diamond ring on her engagement finger.’
They continued: ‘The ring is absolutely huge. It’s a massive diamond. She loves it and she’s very proud of wearing it although she hasn’t announced anything about it.’

The insider also hinted that a potential wedding could be a star-studded affair, with Premier League players and glamorous WAGs in attendance.
MailOnline has contacted Phil Foden’s representative for comment.
Phil and Rebecca have been childhood sweethearts since their teenage years, after meeting at a party. They are parents to three children.
Rebecca gave birth to their third child in June, with Phil flying back from the Euros to be by her side in the delivery room.
A source close to the star told MailOnline at the time: ‘Phil is very close to his family, particularly his parents.’
‘They, along with Rebecca, have been a constant source of support for Ronnie when he has felt the pressure and when things have got tough.’
Phil and Rebecca welcomed their first child, Ronnie, in 2019, followed by their daughter, True, in 2021.
In an interview with Manchester City, Phil spoke about being there for the birth of Ronnie, saying: ‘I was there for the birth. I walked out of the room, gave it a little tear and then went back in like nothing happened’.

Phil has recently become the youngest player to win six league titles, helping Manchester City secure their fourth consecutive Premier League last season.
His growing wealth and status as one of the world’s best young footballers have improved the fortunes of his entire family.
He even bought a £3million, six-bed gated house in an upmarket Cheshire village for his parents.
The house is perfectly located within walking distance from his own £2.85million home which he shares with his partner Rebecca and their two children, son Ronnie and daughter True.
