Jack Grealish is one of the best footballers in the world, but his love life in recent years has threatened to eclipse his performance on the pitch.
The Manchester City and England winger, famous for his headbands and good looks - as well as his muscular thighs which also have an Instagram account, @jack_grealishs_legs, dedicated to them - has been hitting the headlines thanks to his wild love life.
While dating fearlessly loyal childhood sweetheart Sasha Attwood on-and-off since 2016, Jack’s also been linked to two Love Island stars, as well as The Inbetweeners star Emily Atack.
Here, we take a look at look at the floppy-haired lothario’s dating history…
Sasha Attwood
Jack began dating fellow Brummie Sasha when they were both 16, after meeting at St Peter's Roman Catholic Secondary School in Solihull.
The 27-year-old is now a model, boasts more than 176,000 followers on Instagram under her professional name of Sasha Rebecca, and was confirmed as the new face of Boohoo in 2021, as well as modelling for L’Oreal campaigns.
Sasha has never commented on the couple’s relationship, and has shared sweet pictures of her and Jack together in recent months, including one of them posing on the pitch after Manchester City won the Premier League last month.
The blonde beauty was tight-lipped when Jack was rumoured to be dating Emily Atack in 2021, which reportedly led to The Inbetweeners star issuing an ultimatum to the footballer, asking him to pick her or Sasha.
As well as being thrust into the spotlight thanks to Jack’s rumoured other relationships, Sasha has been on the receiving end of death threats, and was inundated with “vile” messages after England’s exit from the 2020 Euros.
“It’s just crazy. It’s the nasty messages about my appearance, people’s opinions. What are you all doing? It’s embarrassing,” she told The Sun.
Emily Atack
The actress hit the headlines in 2021 when it was reported she had struck up a relationship with Jack, and was left heartbroken when the footballer dumped her.
The pair were dogged by rumours of a romance for weeks, and the fling ended abruptly after Emily allegedly gave Jack an ultimatum after finding out he wasn’t single.
The TV star was left devastated when the footballer ran back into the arms of his childhood sweetheart, and Emily was left “bruised” by the situation.
While she’s never commented directly on the relationship, Emily did hint at her tumultuous love life as she said she tries to “stay away from things that aren’t good for me.”
“It’s hard when you are a little mischievous like me!” she told Mirror Online last year. “That sometimes some people and some things are just not meant for you.”
Love Island stunners
Jack has a bit of a reputation with shooting his shot with former Love Island stars, and reportedly made a beeline for Ekin-Su Cülcüloğlu before she headed to the Spanish villa last year.
He liked a few of her photos on Instagram, which delighted the Turkish influencer and reality TV star, but the attention was short lived as she flew to Spain for the ITV2 dating show, and ended up winning with boyfriend Davide Sanclimenti.
Natalia Zoppa, who appeared in the winter version of the dating show in 2020, was also targeted by Jack on social media, but was rumbled by her boyfriend in a viral video on TikTok.
“As if today couldn’t get any weirder, the best player in the Premier League tried to chat up my missus,” Hass Saleh captioned the video in 2021, showing Jack’s waving hand emoji message to Natalia.
Jack has also been linked to former Love Island beauties Ellie Brown and 2019 winner Amber Gill, who furiously denied the rumours.
“Any relationships that I’ve got going on or any dating gets ruined immediately by ‘Oh, this is who she’s dating now’ and I’m like ‘Hold on, what? Am I? I’m in a rel- wait, I’m heartbroken? Hmm?,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories.
