Everton footballer Jack Grealish and his long-term partner, model Sasha Attwood, have given fans a heartwarming glimpse into their family's festive celebrations, sharing photos from a special trip to Lapland with their young daughter.
A Magical First Visit to the Arctic Circle
On Saturday, Sasha Attwood, 29, took to Instagram to document their daughter Amelia Rose's first visit to Lapland. The couple, who have been together since their school days, marked the festive season with the 15-month-old tot, creating magical memories in the snowy landscape.
In a rare public family snapshot, the 30-year-old Manchester City and England star was pictured proudly holding his baby girl, while Sasha stood lovingly beside them. The model looked stunning in a long grey woollen coat over a detailed knit, while Grealish kept it casual in joggers and a padded jacket. Little Amelia was wrapped up against the cold in an adorable cherry-print fleece, complete with a pink hat.
Festive Snaps and Matching Pyjamas
Suggesting they had enjoyed "some lovely days together," Sasha captioned the series of images: 'It really is the most wonderful time ✨❤️'. The outtakes painted a picture of a perfect family outing, with one shot showing Jack carrying his 'little bundle of joy' through a fairy-lit wicker tunnel.
Continuing the festive theme, further photos showed Sasha and Amelia by two impressively decorated Christmas trees. In one particularly sweet image, mother and daughter wore matching teddy bear pyjamas as they admired a tree adorned with beads and icicles, with the family's cockapoo, Skye, looking on. Another picture featured Sasha in a burgundy suit dress holding Amelia, with a huge, bow-adorned tree and piles of presents in the background.
A New Chapter After a Challenging Year
The couple welcomed their daughter, Amelia Rose, in September 2024, an event Grealish described at the time as 'the most special moment of my life'. However, the footballer has also been open about the personal and professional challenges of the past year, which saw him spending significant time on the bench at Manchester City before his transfer to Everton.
Reflecting recently, he said: 'Last year, the whole year itself, it was weird because my little daughter was born, but apart from that it was one of the most difficult years - probably the most difficult year of my life for many reasons, on and off the pitch.' He added, 'I found it really difficult. But it's a new year, a sort of fresh start, and hopefully I can kick on from here.'
This joyful Lapland getaway appears to be a bright start to that new chapter for Grealish, Attwood, and their young family, sharing a slice of their private happiness with the world.
