Phil Foden's childhood sweetheart Rebecca Cooke flashes dazzling diamond ring on THAT finger as couple continue to spark engagement rumours
Rebecca joyfully showed off the giant rock as they headed back to their car after a date night in Selfridges.
Rumours of their engagement first sparked when she was spotted with a ring on her finger in February.
The pair couldn't wipe the smiles off their faces as they enjoyed a night out together shopping.
The 24-year-old professional footballer is said to have whisked Rebecca away on a romantic trip to Paris for New Year's Eve, where he reportedly proposed.
The Sun claimed at the time that a potential wedding could be a star-studded affair, with Premier League players and glamorous WAGs in attendance.
A source told the publication: '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.'
'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.'
MailOnline contacted Phil Foden's representative for comment at the time.
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 in 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.
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 two children, son Ronnie and daughter True.

Celtic star left 'emotional' Kieran Tierney has admitted that his Celtic Park homecoming left him feeling emotional. The left-back made his second debut for Celtic in the 4-0 friendly win over Newcastle on Saturday following his return from Arsenal on a free transfer. Manager Brendan Rodgers handed Celtic fans the chance to acclaim the left-back when he brought him on for fellow summer signing Hayato Inamura 10 minutes into the second half. Tierney's introduction generated the loudest cheer of the day as fans hailed the 28-year-old's return.

I was quite emotional actually, running on to the park like that, but amazing. It was a great day for me.' The Scotland international was quickly into his rhythm and set up the fourth goal when he crossed for Liam Scales to head home after playing a one-two with Reo Hatate. Tierney added: 'They're a great team so it just shows the quality that we have got. When we play like that we can give anyone a game. Some of the goals we scored were brilliant.' Having had to win over some fans after returning to Celtic himself last summer, Rodgers was delighted to see Tierney receive the acclaim. 'I wanted him to get a specific welcome back,' he said. 'Just to get him back here at his age where he could easily be playing at the top end of the Premier League, to get a player of that level and that desire to play for Celtic is amazing for us. 'So, it was a great moment and another connection with him and the support. And then you see when he's on there, he's playing against young Anthony Elanga, who's a brilliant signing for Newcastle. But Kieran's got pace and power. And then you see how he created the goal with just that explosive speed and the quality. So, for us, it's great to have him here and he's still finding his fitness. But it was a great moment for him.'

The match against the Greeks will mark the start of the Russell Martin era but the new head coach is confident that his side can overcome the fitness issues that are restricting his choices to get his tenure off to a positive start. Hamza Igamane and Cyriel Dessers are both likely to miss Rangers' Champions League opener against Panathinaikos on Tuesday. | SNS Group 'The adrenaline, the crowd, everything else will help them through,' Martin told Rangers TV. 'I feel like we've got a good enough base to build off and to win a game of football and to prepare us for that. I'm excited about what we're going to see on the pitch. It's by no means going to be complete. We need time to really embed what we want and for the team to really look how we want it. But we need to put in a performance that looks like us and gives us a platform to build off and to win a game. And to excite the crowd and to make them feel like this is going to be a team that they can connect with.' Rangers are likely to start without strikers Cyriel Dessers and Hamza Igamane, who scored 45 goals between them last season. 'They're both a little bit behind the group in terms of fitness,' Martin said. 'Cyriel because of an injury and Hamza because of visa problems. But they're here now and they're working so hard to get back into shape. And they're both going to be ready to help us, which is going to be really important. I'm looking forward to having them fully fit and firing very soon.' Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad Former Wigan and Luton midfielder Thelo Aasgaard is also a fitness doubt for the first leg. 'It's disappointing for him and for us,' Martin said. 'Everything we thought we were getting and more since he's been here has been incredible. His understanding, his athleticism, the power he has, the technical capability, he really is an exciting player for us. Unfortunately, it's a different level of intensity and it's obviously high demands from pre-season. He's picked up just a little something, so he's going to be touch and go. We hope he can be involved, but if not, then we're really hopeful he'll be ready and raring to go for the second one.' Winger Djeidi Gassama is also short of full fitness after arriving from Sheffield Wednesday last week. Martin said: 'He's a little bit behind in terms of fitness because they went back a bit later than us and the pre-season he's had has been a bit disrupted because he was going to be on the move. He's not ready to start the game. But he is totally different to anything we've got. He's unpredictable. He's a fantastic one-on-one specialist. He has real individual talent. Advertisement Hide Ad Advertisement Hide Ad 'He has a lot of work to do physically and to get used to the way we're going to work. But already his willingness to do that, how hard he's working to catch up on fitness, has been really brilliant. So he'll be in the squad. He'll definitely be ready to go for the second game. The first game might have to manage his minutes and the expectation, but he's going to help us a lot.' Steven Pressley is under pressure after losing to lower league opposition twice in his opening two matches in charge of Dundee. | SNS Group Steven Pressley pressure Steven Pressley is already a man under pressure after starting his tenure as Dundee manager with back-to-back defeats to lower league opposition in the Premier Sports Cup. Saturday's 1-0 defeat at Alloa followed the same scoreline at home to Airdrie and left Dundee with no chance of Premier Sports Cup progress. Games against Bonnyrigg Rose and Montrose in the coming week are now effectively pre-season fixtures for Dundee with Pressley already under pressure from fans to get things right ahead of the William Hill Premiership opener against Hibernian on August 3. Asked how they respond, Pressley told Dee TV: 'By accepting, by understanding that's not good enough, and as a group, me, the players, have to show resilience and respond to that. It's far from the ideal start, it's not what we wanted, but you have to show character in these moments of time and that's certainly what I expect us to do. They are a very good group. I have said we need reinforcements but that's irrelevant because we have to do better than that.

Former Arsenal star Rob Holding, 29, lined up for shock MLS transfer following failed Sheffield United loan
Holding could leave Crystal Palace this summer after latest interest HOLD ME TIGHT Former Arsenal star Rob Holding, 29, lined up for shock MLS transfer following failed Sheffield United loan ROB HOLDING is on the radar of MLS clubs as his Crystal Palace future is in doubt. The ex-Arsenal defender, 29, had a loan at Sheffield United for the second half of last season.

The defender was signed from Arsenal for £4million in 2023, but he played only one game for the Eagles after falling out with manager Oliver Glasner. He was then sent to train with the junior team, where he remained frozen out until deadline day of the January transfer window, when he joined Sheffield United. Holding, who made 162 appearances for Arsenal, was brought in to add experience and solidity to Crystal Palace's backline after signing a contract through to 2026.

He went on to make 10 appearances and provided one assist as Sheffield United finished third in the Championship but missed out on promotion and manager Chris Wilder leaving. Former Blades boss Wilder admitted he wanted to keep Holding before leaving his post after failing to secure Premier League promotion. He said: "Rob is just a straight loan until the end of the season, but he's certainly someone we'd be interested in if the loan goes well.

BEST ONLINE CASINOS - TOP SITES IN THE UK 'As sometimes happens, things didn't work out at Palace, and we've taken advantage of that. 'Everyone's been impressed with Rob in his early days here at Sheffield United."

In other transfer news, Crystal Palace welcomed Eberechi Eze back for pre-season despite strong links to Arsenal. The England midfielder has two years left on his current deal, but after lifting the FA Cup and establishing himself as a Palace legend, a move to North London does interest him. Palace, however, are yet to receive an official approach. Sources have told SunSport the Eagles will hold out for a fee of around £65million to do business with the Gunners.
