Even if you’re not a football fan, chances are you tuned into at least some of the European Championship this summer.
And even if you somehow managed to miss the whole thing, there’ll definitely be one name that you’ll now be familiar with: Jack Grealish is EVERYBODY’s 2021 crush.
But bad news for those of us with eyes, because Jack is loved up with his girlfriend Sasha Attwood who he’s been dating on and off since meeting at school as teenagers. It’s all very Wayne and Coleen Rooney, but Jack and Sasha are being compared to another A-list football couple after Sasha recently signed a major deal with Boohoo.
“Jack and Sasha are being jokingly called the new Posh and Becks by some of his mates because of their deals,” said a source. “They are really taking off.
“He is the man of the moment in football but he’s got plenty of female fans too, and with Sasha, those around them think they could become a new power couple. She normally lives out of the spotlight but this Boohoo deal will bring her to the fore.”
“It feels like a real coup for the company and it’s a smooth move for Jack and Sasha as a couple.”
Speaking to The Sun they added, “He‘s getting a bit of ribbing but they’ll be laughing all the way to the bank.”

The 2006 WAGS - where are they now?
Victoria Beckham
One half of the indestructible Beckham brand, Victoria was the original Queen WAG in 2006. At the time Victoria had been married to David for seven years and had just given birth to her third boy, Cruz. She had also just launched her denim line, dvb Style and walked the catwalk for Roberto Cavalli. Over a decade later, she is a fully fledged and well respected fashion designer, with a fourth addition to her brood – the adorable Harper.
Coleen Rooney
Coleen rose to fame as a WAG at just 20 years old. Coleen and Wayne are married and they celebrated their ten-year anniversary in 2018. However, Wayne's repeated cheating has strained the relationship over the years. They have four children together, Kai, Klay, Kit and Cass. Since 2006 Coleen has released a fitness DVD, been a style advisor for Littlewoods and even had a column with us in Closer magazine.
Cheryl
How could we forget Cheryl as a WAG? Back then, 23-year-old Cheryl was a popstar in Girls Aloud who had just married Ashley Cole. Nowadays, Cheryl is a household name and a worldwide celebrity in her own right. After splitting from Ashley in 2010, she had a successful (well, successful-ish) solo career, was a judge on The X Factor and was the face of beauty brand L'Oreal. She married Jean-Bernard Fernandez-Versini in 2016 but they divorced three months later. Most recently, Cheryl separated from One Direction singer, Liam Payne, who she has a baby son called Bearwith.
Abbey Clancy
Abbey first grabbed our attention in 2006 as one of the finalists in Britain's Next Top Model. She began dating Peter Crouch that same year and the pair are now married with three kids Sophia Ruby, Liberty Rose and baby Johnny. Lingerie model Abbey went on to win Strictly Come Dancing in 2013 and she returned to Britain's Next Top Model as the show's presenter. Not bad work, eh?
Danielle Lloyd
Danielle Lloyd was dating footballer Teddy Sheringham when she gained her WAG status. At the time, her title as Miss Great Britain was a controversial matter and she was later stripped of it. Fast forward to now and Danielle has appeared on TV shows such as Celebrity Big Brother, Total Wipeout, The Weakest Link and even Come Dine With Me. She has three sons, Archie, Harry and George with her now ex-husband Jamie O'Hara. Danielle gave birth to a fourth child with her husband Michael O'Neill, Ronnie, in 2017.
Elen Rivas
Elen Rivas was engaged to Frank Lampard at the time of the 2006 World Cup, and was a permanent fixture in the WAG circle. After splitting from Frank after a seven-year relationship, she dated Peter Andre, appeared on Dancing On Ice and now looks after her two daughters Luna and Isla while working as a model. Frank has since married TV presenter Christine Bleakley and they've welcomed their daughter Patricia into the world.
Louise Owen
Despite being married to one of the most famous footballers at the time, Louise Owen wasn't your stereotype WAG. She has always managed to keep her distance from the limelight. Her passion is rescuing race horses and she currently lives in Wales with her husband Michael and their four children, Gemma, James, Jessica and Emily.
Carly Zucker
Now known as Carly Cole after marrying midfielder Joe Cole in Chelsea in 2009, Carly loved to party during the 2006 World Cup (we know the feeling). She then spent two weeks in the jungle during I'm A Celeb in 2009 before being the third to be booted out. Carly and Joe have had three children, Ruby, Harrison and Max together.
Alex Curran
Former nail technician Alex Curran began dating Liverpool player Steven Gerrard in 2002. She was one of the leading figures in the 2006 WAG squad. The pair married in 2007 and they have had four children together, Lexie, Lio, Lord, Lilly-Ella. Fashion lover Alex has released a perfume, fronted a Lipsy campaign and written a weekly shopping column for a national newspaper.

Sasha and Jack met at St Peter's Roman Catholic Secondary School in Solihull, just outside Birmingham. They began dating at 15 and after some on-ing and off-ing, reunited earlier this year with a holiday to Croatia.
A source told The Mirror at the time, “Jack and Sasha have been through a rocky patch but are firmly back on track now. Jack is keen to keep Sasha out of the limelight and she keeps him grounded.
“He thinks it’s best if the fans still think he’s single, but she’s been cheering him on from the side lines during the Euros.
“Sasha is his secret weapon off the pitch and will support him no matter what. They’re both very close to each other.”

Are Sasha Attwood and Jack Grealish still together after THOSE Emily Atack rumours?
Despite seemingly having a picture perfect relationship, Sasha was reportedly left "devastated" when it was recently claimed that Jack had been met up with The Inbetweeners and I'm A Celeb star Emily Atack for "secret dates" at a Manchester hotel and her London home.
Neither Sasha, Jack nor Emily have spoken out about the rumours or commented on their relationship status, but the young couple are said to have met up for showdown talks.
