Jack Grealish has scored the ultimate addition to his family.

The Manchester City and England national team soccer star shared that he and partner Sasha Attwood have welcomed their first child together, a baby girl named Mila Rose Grealish, born Sept. 27.

Jack posted the news to Instagram Oct. 7, alongside a black and white photo of the newborn's hand holding onto one of her parent's pinky fingers.

The 29-year-old's fellow soccer stars were thrilled by the news, with Declan Rice of Arsenal and the England national team posting a heart and heart eyes emojis.

Ross Barkley of Aston Villa commented, "Congrats lad," while musician Calum Scott also jumped in, writing, "Congratulations man!!"

Jack's sister Kiera shared her excitement over her new niece, who arrived just over a month after her own newborn baby boy. She wrote in the comments, "beautiful girl."

Sasha also posted the black and white photo of Mila to Instagram, adding in the caption, "The most special moment of my life."

And the 28-year-old received her own enthusiasm from fans, with one writing, "Beautiful Mila just like her mumma."

Another commented, "Good job mamma I'm so glad you're both well!!! Sending you so much love."

And welcoming baby Mila was truly a full circle moment for Jack and Sasha, who have been together since they were 16-years-old after meeting at St. Peter's Roman Catholic Secondary School in Solihull, England.

The childhood sweethearts first shared the news of Sasha's pregnancy in July, with each of them posting a photo holding her growing baby bump to Instagram, with Jack writing, "Life's biggest blessing."

Sasha echoed his statement, saying in her caption, "Half of me, half of you—beyond blessed."

The baby news also brings a happy ending to Jack's 2024, as the midfielder spent part of the year on the sidelines with a groin injury. But as he explained, being out of the game made him appreciate it even more.

"When I'm injured, I start watching clips of myself and just remember how many good moments I have had in football," he told Sky Sports in May. "It brings back my love for football."

He added, "Being injured certainly gave me that extra motivation to come back and just play well again and try and succeed with City. I'm over the moon to be back and hopefully, I can have a strong end to the season."
