England star Phil Foden and Rebecca Cooke have sparked engagement rumours thanks to a dazzling, eye-grabbing ring.
The 24-year-old midfielder and his 23-year-old childhood sweetheart have been together since they were teenagers and they met at a party. They went on to have three children together - with Rebecca giving birth to their third child in June last year, welcoming their as-yet not publicly named son who joins four-year-old son Ronnie and three-year-old daughter True.
While Phil is well known for his on-pitch success as part of the England team and for playing with Manchester City, Rebecca is known for being very private - making her stand out in comparison to some more attention seeking WAGs. The couple have now sparked speculation they have become secretly married - and that they vowed to get married weeks ago.
Phil is said to have taken Rebecca to Paris for New Year's Eve and that this is where he got down on one knee. Recent photographs have shown Rebecca out and about trying to conceal a huge ring on her engagement finger.

A source told The Sun: "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. But all the wags know and all the players know in Manchester about the ring and everybody is looking forward to maybe an announcement soon that something has happened, maybe an engagement."
The source went on to predict that a wedding between the pair would be a star-studded affair packed with premiership players and glamorous WAGs. The source also blabbed that Rebecca had hosted glamorous baby showers ahead of the arrival of the children she shares with Phil. The Mirror has contacted a spokesperson of the footballer for comment.

Phil and Rebecca have rarely shared information about their family life - but the footballer did gush over the arrival of his latest child last year. He told the official Main City website: "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. I'm not one for crying in front of people. 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."
Rebecca is so private, she does not appear to have an Instagram account of her own - but husband Phil does give updates on his professional life via his own. The Stockport born star has over 12 million followers - and occasionally shares snaps of himself with Rebecca.
