Phil Foden is every inch the doting dad as he poses with his two eldest kids in adorable Father's Day photoshoot - becoming latest England footballer to star in a Burberry campaign
Phil Foden looked every bit the proud father as he posed with his two eldest children for Burberry 's new Father's Day campaign.
The Manchester City and England ace, 24, who celebrates his birthday next week, has become the latest footballer to become the face of the luxury designer brand following the likes of Bukayo Saka and Son Heung-Min.
For the photoshoot, Phil posed for adorable photographs with his two eldest children, Ronnie, five, and True, three, as they all rocked Burberry from head-to-toe.
Phil cut a stylish figure in a co-ord set consisting of a £690 pair of navy check denim shorts coupled with the brand's £750 relaxed fit check denim shirt.
The Fodens looked every bit the happy family as True sat on her smiling father's lap while Phil's eldest son Ronnie cracked a smile next to them.
The photographs were shared to Burberry's Instagram page as they promoted Phil's Father's Day campaign with the luxury fashion house.
A caption alongside the snaps read: 'Team line-up: Phil, True and Ronnie Foden celebrate fatherhood.'
The family also featured in a video advertising the new collection on Burberry's website, where the children were filmed enjoying the British sunshine while being splashed by a sprinkler.
Burberry's announcement that Phil is the latest face of their brand comes weeks after he teased a possible collaboration.
Wearing full Burberry, the footballer posted a photo of himself leafing through a rack of clothes at one of the luxury brand's stores last month.
The Manchester City ace took time to relax on a fluffy cream chair in the shop, flashing his luxury gold watch with a turquoise face.
He posted a couple of wider shots of the majestic building which houses the impressive clothing store.
The sports star captioned the update: 'This store is [face exhaling emoji and OK hand emoji]. Thanks for having us @burberry.'
Elsewhere, Phil was dealt a huge blow over the weekend following Man City's disappointing display in the FA Cup final.
Phil, who has endured a difficult season at the Etihad Stadium this term, came off the bench for the last 15 minutes of the match as Pep Guardiola's team lost to Crystal Palace 1-0.
Off the pitch, he and his long-term girlfriend, Rebecca Cooke, also sparked engagement rumours after she was spotted wearing a large diamond ring in February.
The footballer is said to have whisked his beau away on a romantic trip to Paris for New Year's Eve, where he reportedly proposed.
In photographs obtained by The Sun, Rebecca was seen trying to conceal the large ring while out and about.
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.'
'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,' they added.
The insider also hinted that their 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.
She 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.
They welcomed their third child together in June of last year but the couple have not revealed the name of their youngest.
In an interview with Man 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.'

‘Expectations were already high for Royal Portrush 2025 – but they've gone to another level'
I am, of course, very proud and excited that Royal Portrush is hosting the 153rd Open Championship this July. The buzz around here is electric, and for good reason. We're not just preparing for a major golf tournament; we're getting ready to share the unique magic of Northern Ireland with the world. Hosting The Open here is a monumental undertaking, having experienced it all before in 2019, but this year we are stepping it up considerably from six years ago. It goes without saying that the ground staff and greenkeepers have been working so hard for months to get everything right for July. Years of planning go into every single detail to help us achieve the week we want. We work hand-in-glove with The Royal and Ancient Golf Club of St Andrews to plan everything from crowd flow and transportation to player facilities and media ops. Royal Portrush is slightly different from other venues that have hosted The Open in that our 18th green has grandstands all around it, creating a real amphitheatre environment. And the players don't use the clubhouse here – they have their own area created for them, complete with restaurants, gyms and everything they could possibly need for their week at Portrush. It's like building a small city. The hospitality pavilion at the second green and third tee is new for this year and is a huge three-tiered structure. We're expecting almost 280,000 people here over the four days of competition. What happened at the Masters with Rory McIlroy winning in such dramatic fashion means everything has just cranked up another few notches – if that was even possible. So while our greenkeeping team works tirelessly to get the course in championship condition, there's security, traffic management, catering and volunteer coordination that all needs organising. Hundreds of volunteers give up their time, and they're the lifeblood of the event. And communication is key. Keeping everyone informed, from local residents to the thousands of spectators. It's a colossal effort, a real team effort. But seeing it all come together and witnessing the world's best players take on our course, that makes it all worthwhile. And if we have an event that's anything like 2019, we'll be in for a treat. When people ask me about the must-see holes here, I find it so tough to choose, but if I had to pick a couple, the fifth hole is a firm favourite. It's a short par four, just 370 yards from the elevated tee. You're driving downhill towards the sea, and then it dog-legs slightly to the green. The second shot is a treat – to the green perched right above Whiterocks beach. The views are simply stunning. You can see right out past Dunluce Castle all the way to the Giant's Causeway. It's an iconic hole, one you often see gracing magazine covers, and during The Open it's a real risk-reward challenge for the players. Spectators love watching them go for the green from the tee. But our most notorious hole – and one you'll see the spectators gather for in a more ghoulish way – is the 16th: Calamity Corner. From the championship tee, it's a 236-yard beast. It plays slightly uphill over a great chasm between the tee and the green. There are no bunkers here but, believe me, none are needed. There's plenty of danger there as it is. These two holes really encapsulate the challenge and beauty of Royal Portrush. Visitors will discover that Royal Portrush is truly unique. It's the setting. We are on the stunning Causeway Coast here and the coastline is just beautiful. The views are incredible—you can see across to Scotland and right across Donegal. From a golf course perspective, we're fortunate to have quite a deep site. Most links courses are quite low-lying and narrow, but we have a wide site, and the land moves in different directions. No two holes run consecutively in the same direction on the Dunluce Links, and there are quite a few elevation changes, which is unique for a links course. This means plenty of opportunities for spectacular views and scenery while you play. Beyond Royal Portrush, this region is a golfing treasure trove. I love playing other courses like Royal County Down, where I trained as a club professional in the 1990s, and the new St Patrick's Links at Rosapenna. Away from golf, there's so much to do. We're spoiled for choice. Being in the pro shop, I get to hear what visitors love, and it's always the Giant's Causeway and the Carrick-a-Rede rope bridge. But they love the coastline too, all the way to Ballycastle because it is so stunning. You're spoilt for choice when it comes to food – Portrush Harbour is a real foodie hotspot. My favourite restaurant there is Mermaid, which serves up amazing seafood dishes, but Neptune & Prawn, a casual Asian food and drink bar, is also great, and the Harbour Bistro is also very popular. Wash that down with a drink at the Springhill Bar on Causeway Street – it hosts traditional Irish music nights, which are a big hit with both the locals and tourists. Further afield you have all the Game of Thrones filming locations, such as Ballintoy Harbour, while Rathlin Island, with its wildlife and rugged beauty, is also a must-see. If you're a true die-hard fan of the show you can also take the Game of Thrones Studio Tour in Banbridge. Visitors are absolutely spoiled for things to do and see. A week is not enough – especially if you are here in Open week and there's golf to watch too! There was a real legacy from the 148th Open when it was held here in 2019. The impact is still being felt. Shane Lowry's incredible win inspired the next generation of golfers for sure. Combined with what Rory has already achieved even before his Masters win this year, and it really encourages young people to get into the game. We do a lot of work in local schools, and it's wonderful to see so many young people inspired by The Open and the opportunity to see the best players in the world right here. Hosting The Open is a privilege, and sharing this special place with visitors is a joy. They are truly lucky to experience the beauty and magic of Royal Portrush and the Causeway Coast.

You'd imagine a winger or two will come in."Rodgers is entering the last year of his contract in what is the manager's second spell at Celtic Park but Mulgrew does not think there is any rush to agree new terms."We'll have to wait and see," he said. "Maybe just honour the contract and see where that takes the club and where everybody sits. Then everybody can decide."
