And now Haaling and his girlfriend will also become parents; the pair have seen each other more regularly in the public eye during Haaland’s time at Man City

The 20-year-old moved from her native Norway to Manchester to live with Haaland in a posh flat in the city’s northern suburbs.

It was a night of celebration for Haaland, who became Norway’s all-time top scorer after grabbing a brace against Slovenia.

Grealish revealed how the day of the birth unfolded, saying: “Sasha had a scan on Friday morning and realized she was due a few weeks early. I had to miss training on the Friday, got on the train in London and happened on Friday afternoon.

The winger revealed he stayed with his new daughter for “two or three hours” before flying to Newcastle ahead of Manchester City’s game there the following day.

Asked if he might have celebrated his first goal with a thumb in his mouth to signify fatherhood, Grealish admitted he had planned to but had forgotten “in the moment” after scoring for England .

Johansen is believed to have met Haaland at Bryne’s youth academy, with whom they played and started dating when he was at Borussia Dortmund.

Haaland joined the club at the age of five and spent more than 10 years with the Norwegian side before later moving on to RB Salzburg, Dortmund and Man City.

Johansen moved from his native Norway to Manchester to live with Haaland in a posh flat in the city’s northern suburbs.

He has been more regularly in the public eye during Haaland’s time at Man City, celebrating with him during their trophy successes last season.

And both Grealish and Haaland could look to Phil Foden, who is already a positive parenting pro, having three children despite being just 24.

The Man City star revealed in April this year that he and girlfriend Rebecca Cooke, 22, were expecting their third child this summer.

The family posed in front of a blue and white balloon arch that had flashy LED letters spelling out ‘Baby Foden’.

And during England’s Euro group stage, Foden left to make sure he was there to see the birth of his third child, a boy.

Cooke and Foden share a son Ronnie, five, and a daughter, True, who turned one earlier this year.

Foden and Cooke are childhood sweethearts and reportedly initially met at a party when they were teenagers and have been together ever since.

The couple, who are both from Stockport in Greater Manchester, keep their relationship largely out of the public eye, with Cooke keeping her social media accounts private.

The couple welcomed their son Ronnie into the world in 2019, with Foden, who was 18 at the time of their son’s birth, having previously spoken about the transition to becoming a father to their young son ronnie

The Manchester City midfielder, 23, and his childhood sweetheart, 22, celebrated the exciting news and the color of the cake could offer a gender clue.

‘I was there for the birth. I left the room, gave him a little tear and then came back in as if nothing had happened,” he said during an interview with Manchester City.

‘I’m not one to cry in front of people. I like being alone, but I was there in the room, I saw it happen and it was a special moment.

‘Your life changes. There is no free time, which is probably why I have worked so hard to fish.

‘I enjoyed every moment. He’s been doing pretty well, to be honest. It hasn’t been difficult for me, which is good.

“I sleep until seven in the morning. I haven’t really had to get up in the middle of the night, so I’ve been able to sleep.”
