Phil Foden and his girlfriend Rebecca Cooke have announced they are expecting their third child together.
The Manchester City midfielder, 23, and his high school sweetheart, 22, celebrated the exciting news with a lavish baby shower this weekend.
It’s an exciting time for the couple who have been together since their teenage years.
Although Phil is one of England’s best-known footballers, he has largely kept his romance out of the spotlight.
As the couple prepares to welcome a new addition to their family, MailOnline looks back at the history of their relationship.

It is believed that Phil and Rebecca first met at a party when they were teenagers, and they have been together ever since.
Like Phil, Rebecca is also from Stokport and the pair are thought to be around the same age.
Despite Phil’s career in the public eye, Rebecca has largely stayed out of the spotlight and keeps her social media accounts private.
Phil has followed suit and she is rarely seen on his Instagram, where he has 11 million followers.
She became a mother at the age of 18 when the couple’s son, Ronnie, was born. Their daughter True arrived two years later.
After Ronnie’s birth, Phil said: ‘I was there at the birth.
‘I walked out of the room, shed a tear and then went back in as if nothing had happened. I’m not one to cry in front of people.
‘I like to be alone, but I was in the room, saw it happen and it was a special moment. Your life changes.’

Rebecca lives in luxury in a £2 million mansion in Bramhall, Manchester. Phil bought the house when he was just 18, after breaking into the Premier League.
The couple announced they were expecting their third child in a heartwarming post on social media.
Rebecca showed off her baby bump in a figure-hugging blue maxi dress as she held baby True, who was dressed in a blue sequin dress.
Meanwhile, the England footballer and son Ronnie matched in £370 Amiri black T-shirts, which they teamed with skinny jeans and white trainers.
The couple posed in front of a large blue and white balloon arch and bold LED letters spelling out ‘baby Foden’.
Ronnie, who has his own Instagram account managed by his mother, shared an insight into the celebrations on his social media page.

The message read: ‘Had a great day yesterday with the most important people.
‘Photo credit to the amazing @sophie_eleanor_photography Thanks again for capturing our special moment.’
In another photo, Ronnie beamed as he swung on a small swing placed in front of a wall of blue flowers.
Guests at the party were treated to an impressive blue chocolate fountain, blue donuts and a large blue themed cake.
The children were entertained with a white bouncy castle during the festivities.
