JACK GREALISH’S dream came true after meeting iconic singer Rihanna in New York.
The billionaire music legend was in the Big Apple to watch Manchester City’s 3-2 pre-season friendly loss to AC Milan.
And after the match, she posed with Grealish, Christian Pulisic and Yunus Musah.
Grealish made his admiration for Rihanna known after the game – and in fact years before.
Fans dug up an old interview during his Aston Villa days where he admitted the chart-topper was a celebrity he’d love to meet.
Asked why, Grealish awkwardly said: “Because she’s pretty.”

Away from her looks, he also added: “I like her music as well.”
Grealish posted a picture of the pair together on Instagram and wrote: “I’ll tell you truth… First time I’ve been star struck in a long while.
“(Rihanna) Lovely to meet you after the game yesterday.”
Grealish started the game against Milan with Erling Haaland and James McAtee scoring for City.
