Phil Foden's girlfriend and mum-of-three Rebecca Cooke, 24, is the ultimate WAG as she bares bronzed skin in racy jumpsuit with quirky cocktail bag

Daily Mail​22-05-2025

Manchester City star Phil Foden 's girlfriend Rebecca Cooke made sure all eyes were on her when the WAG stepped out with the Manchester City star for a team dinner last night.
Stockport native Rebecca, 24, who shares three children with the English midfielder, joined Foden's teammates for City great Kevin de Bruyne's leaving party in Manchester on Wednesday.
Dressed in all-black, Rebecca picked a plunging, sleeveless jumpsuit that showed off her cleavage, toned midriff and golden tan, as Rebecca also wore a big smile while posing for pictures with her footballer boyfriend.
While Rebecca's monochromatic outfit didn't feature too much embellishment, her rhinestone-studded clutch more than made up for its lack of sparkle.
As she walked into the restaurant with Phil by her side, Rebecca was seen carrying a quirky bag shaped like a martini glass - complete with a glittering slice of lemon - that appears to be a high-street find.
A version of the widely-duped, whimsical purse appears to have been designed by Bui Accessories, a Lagos-based brand, that retails for a surprisingly affordable £52 - but is currently out-of-stock.
She matched her earrings and open-toe stilletos to the statement bag, with Rebecca picking a pair of electric blue heels and turquoise earrings to finish her look.
Rebecca styled her long, blonde tresses in loose waves that cascaded down her shoulder and looked radiant as she opted for a fresh-faced, bronzed makeup look finished with swipes of soft pink blush and lipstick.
Their most recent appearance comes after the couple sparked engagement rumours after Rebecca was spotted wearing a large diamond ring on her ring finger in February.
At the time, The Sun reported that the Premier League star whisked Rebecca away on a romantic trip to Paris for New Year's Eve, where he reportedly proposed.
In photos obtained by the newspaper, Rebecca - who has been with Phil since they were both teenagers - is seen trying to conceal the large ring while out and about.
'The pair of them have been together since they were young and their family and friends have been expecting them to get engaged for a while,' a source told the publication.
'The time seemed right for Phil to pop the question. He took her away to Paris for New Year's Eve and when they came back Rebecca had a sparkling diamond ring on her engagement finger.'
They continued: 'The ring is absolutely huge. It's a massive diamond. She loves it and she's very proud of wearing it although she hasn't announced anything about it.'
The insider also hinted that a potential wedding could be a star-studded affair, with Premier League players and glamorous WAGs in attendance.
Phil and Rebecca have been childhood sweethearts since their teenage years, after meeting at a party. They are parents to three children.
Rebecca gave birth to their third child last June, with Phil flying back from the Euros to be by her side in the delivery room.
A source close to the star told MailOnline at the time: 'Phil is very close to his family, particularly his parents.'
'They, along with Rebecca, have been a constant source of support for Ronnie when he has felt the pressure and when things have got tough.'
Phil and Rebecca welcomed their first child, Ronnie, in 2019, followed by their daughter, True, in 2021 and their second son last June.
In an interview with Manchester City, Phil spoke about being there for the birth of Ronnie, saying: 'I was there for the birth. I walked out of the room, gave it a little tear and then went back in like nothing happened'.
Phil has recently become the youngest player to win six league titles, helping Manchester City secure their fourth consecutive Premier League last season.
His growing wealth and status as one of the world's best young footballers have improved the fortunes of his entire family.
He even bought a £3million, six-bed gated house in an upmarket Cheshire village for his parents.
The house is perfectly located within walking distance from his own £2.85million home which he shares with his partner Rebecca and their three children.
At the start of 2025, Phil celebrated Rebecca's birthday with a with a swanky dinner at Shisha Lounge in Manchester.
The England star, 24, was seen hand-in-hand with his glamorous girlfriend as they arrived at the dinner hotspot.
Rebecca stunned in a dramatic white beaded gown as she arrived for the celebrations.
The couple were joined by Phil's City teammate Rico Lewis and his partner, as well as former footballer Ched Evans.
Phil and Rebecca were seen arriving for the birthday dinner in the sports star's £200,000 Mercedes G-Wagon before heading into the eatery.

Naga Munchetty seen arriving at BBC studios after allegations she BULLIED a junior staffer & ‘made an off-air sex jibe'

PRESENTER Naga Munchetty has been seen arriving at the BBC studios this morning following allegations she bullied a junior staffer. The star, 50, was reprimanded by bosses over two incidents in a three-year period - including for allegations she made an off-air sex jibe. 5 5 5 Today, Naga was seen opting for the backdoor as she arrived at the BBC Breakfast studio in Salford, Manchester, this morning for her regular slot. The star, who has been a staple on the broadcaster's flagship breakfast show since 2010, has found her self at the centre of a toxicity row. On top of the alleged tensions between presenters, the show's editor Richard Frediani has now taken leave amid separate bullying claims. Just this week, Naga was revealed to have been spoken to by bosses over two separate incidents in three years. The star is said to have used a crude slang term for a sex act during an off-air break on a BBC Radio 5 Live show — before asking a colleague if they had done it. The alleged remark stunned the studio and led to Naga being hauled before bosses. She was reprimanded by a senior producer but no formal action was taken. The comment became widely known at 5 Live, with one source describing the 2022 incident as: 'Crass, inappropriate and wildly unprofessional. The person felt embarrassed.' The Sun also revealed today that on BBC Breakfast last year, Naga was rapped for the alleged bullying of a woman, who was the most junior staffer on the show. As part of the bullying behaviour, the star is said to have falsely accused her of stealing, which led to a closed-door showdown. The source said: 'It was humiliating. There was no evidence, no apology. The woman left not long after, completely demoralised.' Another insider added: 'That wasn't an isolated incident. It really is the tip of the iceberg.' Naga is the first female presenter to be caught up in the series of scandals which have gripped the Beeb. Strictly's Giovanni Pernice and Graziano Di Prima had to leave over bullying claims, and Wynne Evans quit the live tour over the word 'spitroast', which can be a sexual reference. But the BBC is now facing questions of double standards. A Breakfast insider said: 'If a male presenter made a sexual comment like that or falsely accused someone of theft, he'd be out the door. But with Naga, it gets brushed off.' 5 5 A BBC spokesperson said: 'While we do not comment on individual cases, we take all complaints about conduct at work extremely seriously.' Breakfast is already in turmoil amid claims of a 'deeply divided workplace' and off-air tensions between Naga and co-host Charlie Stayt. The flagship show's editor Richard Frediani is at the centre of a formal bullying investigation, as we revealed on Monday. Yesterday, it was confirmed the BBC was conducting an internal review into his behaviour and general allegations of toxicity on the show. An internal email was sent to the BBC Breakfast team thanking them for their 'professionalism' as they continue their work amid the row.
