Football star Phil Foden is quickly becoming one of the world's most watched and talked about players, but his heart belongs to Rebecca Cooke, his long-time girlfriend and the mother of his children.

Foden and Cooke are on their way to becoming a hot celebrity football couple like David Beckham and Victoria "Posh Spice" Beckham. Fans of the young Manchester player are eager to know more about Cooke, who she is, where she comes from, and how Foden met her.

Philip Walter Foden was born in Stockport, Greater Manchester, on May 28, 2000, and at 17, he was already playing for the club he loved, Manchester City. When Manchester City won the Premier League in 2018, Foden became the youngest player to receive that medal.

But Foden's daring isn't reserved for playing football. In 2020 it became known that the player and another of his teammates, Mason Greenwood, had smuggled two Icelandic girls into their hotel rooms in Reykjavik.

The player confessed that being away from his son when he has to travel with the team is difficult.

The escapade was during the Covid pandemic, and the two players were sent home for breaking the social distancing regulations. This was shortly after Cooke had given birth to Foden's son, Ronnie, and the impact of the escapade on the young mother can only be imagined.

Rebecca Cooke Is from Her Boyfriend's Hometown

Like Foden, Rebecca Cooke is a Stockport girl. She is not to be confused with British swimming champion Rebecca Cooke. Very little is known about Cooke. She has kept her personal life private, as are her social media accounts.

Even her date of birth is uncertain, but she is believed to have been born in 2000, the same year as Foden. Photos of Cooke are rare, and Foden seldom shares snaps featuring the pretty blond on his Instagram account.

Foden and Cooke Are Childhood Sweethearts

When Foden and Cooke started dating is also a mystery, though it is known that they went to the same school and are said to have been childhood sweethearts. She has been there through his rise to stardom when he was just a boy with a big dream.

Like Cooke, Foden keeps the details of his life and his romance out of the media, so how they met and how their love blossomed is still to be told. Nevertheless, their relationship has withstood the tests of teenage pregnancy, fame, and the strain of the alleged betrayal in Iceland.

Rebecca Cooke Gave Birth to Her First Child When She Was 18

Foden and Cooke welcomed their first child, a son, Ronnie, on January 22, 2019, when they were both 18 years old. Foden shared a sweet photo of himself holding the newborn on his bare chest on Ronnie's first birthday in 2020. Foden spoke about attending Ronnies birth:

"I was there in the room, watched it happen and it was a special moment. Your life changes."

Foden is a devoted dad, and the player confessed that being away from his son when he has to travel with the team is difficult, and he always wonders what precious milestone in Ronnie's young life he might miss.

They're Withholding the Name of Their Daughter

Foden and Cooke announced their second pregnancy in April 2021, and it was believed that the baby, a daughter, would be born sometime in the autumn. However, Cooke was seen out in public with the baby girl in July 2021.

The couple has yet to share details about their baby, and even the little girl's name is unknown. Foden hasn't posted photos of his daughter on Instagram as he did with Ronnie. The Foden girl is almost as big a mystery as her mom.

Foden Bought Them a 5-Bedroom Home

The young family has taken a big step: They have moved out and into their own home. Previously, Cooke, Foden, and Ronnie had been living in a £2.8 million home with his parents in the pretty country town of Prestbury, Cheshire.

Foden bought a new, equally luxurious home five minutes away from his parents in the same town. The new house has five bedrooms and plenty of space for Foden, Cooke, Ronnie, and the new baby. And who knows, the family might grow.
