The couple welcomed a baby girl named Mila on September 27, hours before Grealish lined up to play for City against Newcastle.

It follows his Three Lions comeback under interim manager Lee Carsley after missing out on the Euro 2024 squad.

And speaking to BBC 5 Live Sport ahead of clashes against Greece and Finland, the 29-year-old has now revealed which England team-mates he would be happy to let babysit his kid.

On the best, he said: “Harry Kane I think. It’s quite a young team so I wouldn’t put it on any of the young lads and you know Harry, he’s so reliable.

“One of the oldest lads, so yeah I’d go Harry.”

He was then asked about club-mate Phil Foden, who himself has three children.

Grealish added: “Well yeah, you could say Phil actually. He’s got a fair few hasn’t he?

“[But] Yeah, I’m going to go Harry Kane.”

The former Aston Villa star was then quizzed on who he reckons the worst babysitter would be.

He said: “The worst… I’m going to go [Bukayo] Saka. Yeah I’m going to go Bukayo.

“I just reckon he would be sloppy, you know, falling asleep and that.”

Grealish was also asked who he would go to for parenting advice.

On that topic, he replied: “I’d go with [Jordan] Pickford. [I’m] Quite close with him.”

He then added: “You know what actually, I could go with Dec [Declan Rice] as well.

“Maybe Dec or Jordan. Yeah, one of them two.”

The penultimate question saw him asked who he reckons would be the “fun dad” out of the squad.

He said: “Can you go yourself or… Yeah go on I’ll put myself down for that one.”

The final question got him to name the “strict dad” of the group.

He replied: “I reckon someone like Marc Guehi. Just quite firm, you know, serious. Uncle Marc.”

At the age of just 24 years old many of his peers at international level have given the Crystal Palace defender the nickname “Uncle Marc”.

Jude Bellingham and Ezri Konsa first revealed the nickname back in July, while Kyle Walker also mentioned the name when speaking to John Stones about who could be a good future manager.

Grealish scored his third England goal last month against the Republic of Ireland and has earned 38 caps so far.

Inside Sasha Attwood and Jack Grealish’s relationship

Sasha Attwood and Jack Grealish have become parents for the first time, but their relationship started well over a decade ago…

The pair met as teens in Solihull, West Midlands at secondary school, with Sasha previously saying they have been together since she was 15.

Jack was already on his way to becoming a professional footballer when he met Sasha.

Despite the long-term nature of their relationship, she remained on the sidelines when his career took off.

However, intense interest in Jack’s private life came to a head in 2021 when England reached the final of Euro 2020, delayed a year because of the Covid-19 pandemic.

Because of their romance, Sasha was cruelly targeted by trolls on TikTok and Instagram, receiving 200 death threats a day from “young girls”.

The pair were spotted on holiday together following the tournament and slowly began showing more of their relationship on social media when the vile trolling died down.

In 2022, they celebrated their 10-year anniversary and purchased a seven-bed mansion set in 24 acres worth £5.6 million.

They moved in to the home in late 2023, but Sasha and members of Jack’s family were subject to a terrifying robbery while cheering on the Manchester City star during a televised match just after Christmas.

Their latest milestone is Sasha’s pregnancy, which they announced on social media on July 7, and the birth of daughter Mila Rose on September 27.
