It was a family affair for Manchester City midfielder Phil Foden on Tuesday as he attended the PFA Awards with his partner Rebecca and their son, Ronnie.
In glamorous photos taken at the Manchester event, the 24-year-old could be seen bursting with pride dressed in a dapper black suit and a matching tie. In a touching moment, the father-of-three looked every inch the doting father as he sweetly held Ronnie's hand.

She accessorised with a sparkling diamond necklace, drop earrings and a pair of strappy black heels. As for hair and makeup, Rebecca styled her blonde locks in Hollywood-esque waves and highlighted her features with a slick of glossy nude lipstick and bold eyeliner.

"To win this award is something very special and it is one that I am very proud of and grateful for," said Phil.

Phil and his wife Rebecca tend to keep their private life away from the spotlight. The pair are childhood sweethearts, having met at a party in Stockport as teenagers. The football ace was just 18 when they welcomed their first son Ronnie in January 2019.
They went on to welcome daughter True in July 2021 and a baby boy earlier this summer.
The pro footballer has spoken candidly about his role as a father and recently revealed how his eldest son's birth was "life changing".

I like to be on my own, but I was there in the room, watched it happen and it was a special moment. Your life changes."
Elsewhere in the interview, Phil spoke about the "unfortunate" reality of juggling work with family time. "I was there when he started crawling, but I think I was in London when he started to walk," he said, before adding: "It's unfortunate to miss things like that but it’s a sacrifice that he'll appreciate when he's older."
