Rebecca Cooke is famous for being the partner of Manchester City’s star Phil Foden.
Despite being one of England’s most famous WAGs (wives and girlfriends), she has managed to maintain a low public profile.
So, who is Rebecca Cooke? Below is everything about Phil Foden’s girlfriend, from how they met to their children and other interesting facts.
She is a Year Younger Than Foden
Rebecca Cooke was born on June 24, 2001. She is one year younger than Foden who was born on May 28, 2000.
Cooke has not revealed much about her parents, siblings, or childhood. However, she is from Stockport, England, the town Foden hails from.
She is in a Long-Term Relationship With Phil Foden
Rebecca Cooke is not married to Manchester City star Phil Foden. However, the couple has been in a long-term relationship for several years.
Rebecca Cooke and Phil Foden are childhood sweethearts. The couple reportedly met at a party as teenagers and have been together since then. However, it is not exactly clear when the two started dating.
She Regularly Attends Phil Foden’s Matches
Rebecca is a loyal partner who supports Foden’s career and regularly attends Foden’s Man City games.
In 2022, she was spotted in Qatar alongside other partners and families of England national team players cheering on their country.
She is Private About Her Personal Life
Foden’s girlfriend is very private about her personal life and has not shared much about her background or family.
She is also not active on social media; she has a private Instagram account, whose identity she keeps hidden.
Most of the photos of her online are from her partner and son’s social media accounts, fan accounts, photos from journalists during public outings, or paparazzi shots.
She Has Two Kids With the Manchester City Star
Rebecca and Phil Foden have two children: a son named Ronnie and a daughter named True.
Ronnie Foden was born in January 2019. Cooke and Foden were just 18 years old at the time of his birth.
Ronnie is a regular feature at his father’s game and has been named “El Wey”, meaning “That dude” by Man City fans.
In 2023, Rebecca and Foden created an Instagram account for him @officialronniefoden_, which has nearly garnered four million followers.
Ronnie’s rising fame at football matches and on social media has seen his parents sign a modelling contract for him with the UK agency Propel Talent Group.
The couple’s daughter, True Foden, was born in 2021. Unlike their son, she has no social media accounts and is more shielded from the public, with only a few photos of her shared online.
In April 2024, Rebecca and Foden announced they were expecting a third child. They celebrated the news by throwing a baby shower at the Stockport Country Club.
She Was Involved in a Public Altercation With Foden While on Holiday
Like most couples, Rebecca and Foden have experienced a few ups and downs in their relationship.
Unfortunately, one of these incidents was captured in public when they were vacationing in Corfu, Greece, in 2022.
In a viral video shared online, Rebecca can be seen angrily gesturing at the Man City star while yelling:
“Do you think I’m a d*** head?” “Yeah, I wonder why, mate.” “You can go and tell her ‘n’ all.”
According to The Sun, the argument got out of hand, and security escorted the couple out of the facility.
The altercation reportedly started after Rebecca grabbed and went through Foden’s phone while he was swimming.
In another report, the Man City star had been harmlessly flirting with TV and internet personality Holly Burns by liking her risqué Instagram photo and calling her “pretty.”
She Has Stayed With Foden Despite Their Relationship Hurdles
The public bust-up in Greece was not the first time the couple’s relationship troubles were aired in public.
In 2020, Foden and teammate Mason Greenwood were sent home in shame from Iceland after inviting girls into their hotel rooms while on England duty, breaking COVID-19 lockdown rules.
One of the girls later revealed that she and Foden had been intimate, but he had not informed her that he had a girlfriend and child. At the time of the incident, Rebecca was pregnant with the couple’s second child.
Shortly after the incident, another woman, Lucy Jones, claimed that Rebecca’s partner had tried to arrange a sexual meet-up with her. She shared a screenshot of a Snapchat message Foden had sent her, saying:
“Can’t wait to get [a] hotel with you.”
However, Rebecca has stayed with Foden despite all these issues, and the couple appears to be happy, at least going by their social media posts.
