How Jack Grealish and girlfriend Sasha Attwood are becoming the ‘new Posh and Becks’ after welcoming first child

WHEN it comes to being the star couple of the footballing world, Posh and Becks have always been in a premier league of their own.

However, another glamorous and headline-hitting couple could give them a run for their money… Jack Grealish and Sasha Attwood.

The stylish duo have regularly been dubbed “footie’s super couple” thanks to their head-turning good looks and brand deal appeal.

And now Jack and Sasha have just announced their first baby Mila arrived last month starting their family “brand” like Victoria and David Beckham have with their kids, Brooklyn, 25, Romeo, 22, Cruz, 19, and Harper, 13.

Andrew Bloch, PR and celebrity brand expert, told Fabulous: “While David and Victoria are unquestionably A-list royalty when it comes to football couples, Jack and Sasha have all the ingredients to copy their successful blueprint.

“They’ve jokingly been called the new Posh and Becks in the past due to their big brand deals and Jack’s female fan base.

“And now starting a family could see them take the next steps towards harnessing the Beckham effect.

“Their bank accounts will certainly be reaping the rewards.”

Big brand deals

Floppy-haired Jack made history when he moved from Aston Villa to Manchester City for a record £115million.

But his handsome looks and notable style has also seen him raking in the cash off the pitch too – just like Golden Balls Becks has done over the years.

One of his gigs saw him sign a deal with Boohoo Man, with Sasha following suit in a big-money deal in 2021.

Recently The Sun shared how Sasha has raked in an eye watering five-figure paycheck after inking her signature on the big-money contract with PrettyLittleThing too in August.

As part of her Instagram posting agreement, she had to regularly plug the brand’s maternity wear to her 304k followers.

It’s no wonder PLT chiefs were keen to capitalise on her pregnancy – her announcement post garnered over 150,000 likes.

This follows David having numerous brand deals with the likes of Adidas, H&M, Pepsi and Gillette, to name a few.

Meanwhile, Victoria has worked with L’Oreal, Estée Lauder, Dove – alongside having her own fashion label that has been championed by the likes of Meghan Markle and Kate Middleton.

Female attention

Jack garnered so much attention from female fans that he had to move out of his swanky Manchester apartment in 2021 to avoid being mobbed.

A source said at the time: “Jack had been living in a nice apartment in Manchester but recently fans have started to congregate outside.

“It’s all very innocent and those who have been waiting around adore Jack and want to get pictures and autographs. But for safety he has now relocated.”

David has also attracted a seismic level of attention over the years, and was quoted saying: “You can’t escape the fact that you’re a footballer, and when you’re a footballer, you get attention from all sorts of different people, especially women. I’m just grateful for the support.”

He added: “It’s flattering. It’s nice to be recognised and appreciated. I don’t take it too seriously, but it does make you feel good.”

Sasha has helped Grealish ditch his party boy persona over the years and they now have a settled life in their £5.6million Cheshire mansion with their beloved cockapoo Skye.

Since being with Jack, Sasha has seen her own star soar.

And after initially receiving hordes of death threats when it first emerged she was dating Jack, she is now hugely popular with his fans.

PR expert Ed Hopkins told The Sun: “She has established herself as a powerful personal brand, independent of Jack’s football achievements.”

Having set the record for being the most expensive British footballer in history following his Man City deal, it is no surprise that Jack and Sasha are used to the finer things in life.

The sports star has a collection of high-end cars, including brands like Aston Martin, Range Rover, and Mercedes-Benz.

The couple love to jet away on glamorous five-star holidays to places such as Sardinia and Dubai, and last year stayed at the uber-luxurious Hotel du Cap-Eden-Rock, where rooms cost up to £14,000 a night.

Posh and Becks love to let off steam in a fancy way too, from £1.6million yacht holidays to £9,347-a-week per person trips to the Maldives.

Things you didn't know about David and Victoria Beckham

David has obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD) and has spoken about it in a BBC interview. He has a habit of doing things in an even manner, which is known as symmetry OCD.

Over 25 years of marriage, David has gifted Victoria with 15 different engagement rings.

Victoria Beckham’s fashion brand finally made a profit in 2023 after 15 years.

David has a flock of chickens on his country estate as well as many beehives.

Victoria’s favourite Spice Girls song is ‘Say You’ll Be There’.

It is easy to see the similarities between Grealish and Goldenballs, especially when it comes to their style choices.

Jack — who has worn the No7 shirt for England in the past, just as Becks did — even wears his hair in the floppy hairband style his idol used to sport.

Jack has hit back at the comparison though saying: “He’s iconic. Everyone in England loves Beckham.

“That said, my hair wasn’t inspired by him. It’s long and during games, when I get sweaty and my hair gets wet, it would end up going over my face too much. 

“That’s why I started wearing a headband.”

Becks, who arguably gained as much attention for his style on the pitch as well as his football, once admitted he regretted “most of” his fashion faux pas, adding “but they were right at the time”.

One thing Posh and Becks are known for is having a famous circle of friends, which include the likes of Prince William and Elton John.

Jack has previously been spotted with Ed Sheeran, who is also a close friend of the Beckhams

He typically spends time with reality stars from Love Island and Coronation Street actor Andy Whyment. 

But if they play their cards right, Jack and Sasha could find themselves navigating very exclusive A-list circles.

High-profile love

Posh and Becks have had their fair share of relationship drama[/caption]

Childhood sweethearts Jack and Sasha first started dating when they were teenagers at school together in Solihull, and they have been together on and off since.

Sasha has been with the midfielder throughout his professional football career – supporting him at Aston Villa before the big-money move from their hometown of Birmingham to Manchester in 2021.

Jack and Sasha now find themselves walking the same path as Posh and Becks, having moved from their £1.7million home in Worcester to Manchester, where Becks played for United for 11 years.

David and Victoria first met in 1997 at a charity football match, and when they started dating they became one of the most talked-about couples in the media.

After dating for about a year, David popped the question in 1998 and they tied the knot in Ireland in 1999.

Speaking of his stylish wife, David said: “I can’t imagine my life without Victoria. She’s my rock, and she’s the one who keeps me grounded.”

Cheating rumours

Despite their long-term loves, both Jack and David have had to battle off cheating rumours.

Rebecca Loos, a former personal assistant to Becks, claimed they had an affair, but he has consistently denied the claims. 

Meanwhile, Jack and Sasha have also been rocked by a series of cheating allegations after the winger previously partied with several other women.

He whisked Towie star Chloe Brockett to a Greek bolthole after an all-day boozing session at a beach club.

Jack was also linked to three other beauties after we revealed his secret dates with telly star Emily Atack and Love Island winner Amber Gill.

The couple held crisis talks about their relationship after the revelations – but appear to have put the series of scandals behind them.

I gave my baby a name so shocking it’s BANNED in some countries – trolls say it’s cruel & even the registrar was alarmed

A HORROR-obsessed mum who controversially named her son Lucifer is ready to celebrate her little devil’s first Halloween.

Ronni Lily, from Birmingham, shocked family and friends when she announced the unusual name for her child, with some family members even refusing to use her chosen moniker.

But the 28-year-old and her partner, Brad, pay them no mind.

They chose the divisive name for their fourth child after watching the Netflix series Lucifer.

Ronni is now excited to make sure little Lucifer is in the limelight during the spooky season.

“We are not religious so the name has no dangerous connotations for us but I am obsessed with Halloween,” she said.

“I make sure the house is fully decorated inside and out.

“I can’t wait to make my little devil’s first Halloween one to remember.”

Despite Halloween still weeks away, the outfit is already ready.

She said: “I’m going to dress him up in red with tails, horns and a pitchfork, of course.

“And then take him to baby classes and Halloween parties.

“I can already imagine the look on the other mum’s faces when I tell them his real name.

“Lucifer hasn’t started nursery yet but I have no doubt that his name will raise a few eyebrows when I do register him.

“But I’m sure nursery workers have heard far worse.”

Despite its negative connotations, Lucifer actually means ‘bearer of light’ or ‘Morning Star’.

But it is more commonly known as the name of the devil and is even banned in some countries.

While the name isn’t illegal in the UK, it has caused many debates whether it is an appropriate name for a baby.

Ronni has faced harsh comments online from trolls who call her “cruel” and claim she is setting her child up to be bullied.

Despite the backlash, Ronni and Brad insist the name is perfect for their son, who was born in January this year.

Banned baby names

While there isn’t a specific list of banned baby names in the UK, the General Register Office has the authority to reject names that are deemed offensive, inappropriate, or misleading.

This includes names that contain numbers, symbols, or punctuation marks, as well as names that could cause a child embarrassment or harm.

Some examples of these include Monkey, Martian and Rogue.

Additionally, names that are considered to be official titles or ranks (like “King,” “Queen,” “Prince,” or “Princess”) are likely to be scrutinised and potentially rejected.

Ultimately, the decision is made on a case-by-case basis to ensure that the name is in the best interest of the child.

The duo chose the moniker when the mum was just 16 weeks pregnant.

Ronni said: “We both loved his name from the start and still do.

He is our Lucifer the Legend

Ronni Lily

“I’m not concerned his name will cause him problems at school or later in life, but he has a common middle name, Ashley, that he can use if he ever wants or needs to.”

Lucifer has three older siblings; Lola, six, Lincoln, four and Lilac, three – and they will also be joining in this Halloween.

Ronni said: “I love to dress up all the kids in costumes, the gorier the better.

“We will have a Halloween party at home and I will take the kids out trick or treating.

The struggle of choosing a baby name

CHLOE Morgan, a Senior Writer at Fabulous, has revealed her dilemma on choosing a baby name...

At 35 weeks pregnant, by far the trickiest part of pregnancy for me in the past few months (minus the insomnia and countless night-time wee breaks!) has been trying to decide on a baby name.

The dilemmas are endless…

My partner and I went for a private scan to find out the gender as early as we could – partly due to the fact we thought it would make baby naming so much easier because we’d only have to come up with a list of names for one gender rather than two.

How wrong we were…

I was absolutely thrilled to be told I was expecting the baby girl I’d already dreamed of, but being one of the last of my friends to fall pregnant, I’ve had countless conversations over the years with excited pals discussing their top baby names…something which I wish I could go back in time and un-hear.

With each friend mentioning at least 10 possible monikers, I can’t help but feel like several are now a no-go even though I know it’s something that none of them would mind in the slightest – it’s a total me problem!

The debate comes up time and time again on social media forums – can you choose the same name that was a “potential” for a friend’s baby?

It’s a very divisive topic and opinions are always mixed…and I don’t want to be THAT person.

While some will argue there’s thousands of other names out there to choose from, others will say you need to choose YOUR favourite…after all, there’s no guarantee that person will even have another baby.

Then there’s also the issue of finding a name you adore…only to research it online and read one negative comment amongst hundreds of positives that you just can’t shake off.

I made that very mistake when I fell in love with a certain name (I won’t reveal it because I don’t want to ruin it for others!) …only to see someone point out that it constantly gets autocorrected on a phone to something rather rude instead.

So, back to the drawing board we went..

Just five weeks to go and it looks like our little one is going to be known as ‘baby gal’ for a little while longer! 

“All my kids love Halloween and Brad and I love to watch horror movies.

“I also love documentaries on paranormal investigations or strange activity.

“Halloween is one of my favourite times of year.”

Despite his devilish name, Ronni said her little boy really is an angel.

She added: “He is a really cheeky chap now with such a funny personality.

“He is so close to walking and I know that’s when the trouble starts.

“He may have a devilish personality during the toddler or teenage years, but there is nothing negative about his name.

“He is our Lucifer the Legend.”
