' Manchester City and England Footballer Jack Grealish seen last night kissing a girl in the club. What we do know is this isn't his wife. His wife who is expecting Jacks first biological child after he adopted her first born daughter. She wasn't out with the boy and it seems she was at home looking after their child.
What does this mean for the players relationship?
From previous social media posts it seems that Jacks times of being a player was over as many teammates commented about the positive change and how happy he was in this new relationship but clearly he wasn't as happy as it was shown to be.
Jacks wife Sophie, posted a couple of weeks ago a post celebrating a year of being official and in the post she quoted lyrics from 'the boy is mine' after this I'm not sure she will feel the same'

Sophie breaks down crying and can't cope with this. How could he do this to her, he came home last night after celebrating the last premier league game and got in bed cuddled her and didn't say anything. She decides she needs to leave before he gets home, there's one place she knows she can go to as she hasn't got anywhere else. But she don't have her car so she calls one of the other people she knows will always be there.. Ben. She calls him while still crying.
Ben⚽️
B- Hey Soph, I think I know why your calling. I've just read it.
S-Hey Ben, are you busy?
B-Course not, I'm with Dec at mine.
S-Can you pick me up and take me to Karen's please.
B-Of course, are you sure you want to leave before he gets home.
S-Yeah I'm sure, is that okay. I can always taxi it
B-No, we'll come now
S-Thank you.

Ben and Dec arrive 25 minutes later, as Sophie opens the door, she breaks down crying. They hug her tight and help her get stuff together for her and Summer to go to Karen's house. Sophie sits in the car remembering what Karen said about always being welcome, even if Jack is the problem.
Ben and Dec drop her off, Sophie carries Summer to the front door while the boys get the bags.
As Sophie knocks, Karen answers and automatically pulls her into a hug. "Karen I'm sorry, I should've called but I've got some stuff can I stay here for a few days please" Sophie says and Karen hugs her again, "you never have to ask, of course you can, me and Kevin are fuming with that son of ours" as she says that Kevin comes into sight and hugs Sophie, "Karen can take you and Summer inside and I'll help these lads with the bags and Summers stuff."
-3 hours later-
It's now 6pm, Sophie fell asleep about 4pm as she's cried so much. Karen and Kevin have been playing with Summer and decided to order in some dinner as she asked for pizza. They wake Sophie to eat something but she doesn't want to, they make sure she drinks and she sits cuddling Summer. "Mummy, where's daddy?" The tears fill Sophie's eyes again but she takes a deep breath and before she can speak Karen squeezes her hand and says "you and mummy are having a sleepover with nanny and grandad isn't that fun?" Summer nods and carries on watching her tablet.

Jack gets home and walks through the front door. He notices it's very quiet and shouts through "Soph babe I'm home" there isn't a reply and Summer hasn't come running through the door, as he walks into the front room he sees a note on the dining table. 'Was I not good enough? If you wasn't happy you should've spoken to me before you went and got with a random in the club! I hope she was worth it!'
Jack opens his phone to call Sophie and sees a notification and the article. He knows he's fucked up, after this he then notices stuff is gone, he runs to the bedrooms and sees his wife's and daughter clothes packed. Tears begin to fall and he falls to his knees.
He thinks he knows where she'd have gone, he jumps in the car and drives to his parents house, it's now nearly 7pm. He parks up and knocks the door. Kevin answers. Sophie is upstairs bathing Summer, she hears the knock and knows who it will be as she's got lots of missed calls and texts off him.
As Jack walks in he says "Is Sophie and Summer here?" He says and Kevin looks and says "yes they're here but we need to talk son. What was you thinking?" Jack looks at the floor and replies "I was drunk I don't know dad, I regret it" his dad holds his hand and points to his ring saying "drunk or not, that's not a excuse Jack. This means your married, you made promises to be faithful. You have a wife and child and another on the way. This is not okay Jack" As he finishes Jack nods and says "I know dad, there is no excuse, I love my girls so much and my little boy who's due in 15 weeks. What do I do?" Kevin hugs Jack and the front room door opens. Sophie walks in with Summer. "Soph babe, can we talk please." Jack begs, she shakes her head. "Not right now Jack. I don't want to hear it." Jack is shocked and says "babe please, you're my wife and I love you" Sophie giggles "would've been good if you remembered that last night. Now I've brought Summer down so you can say good night, you can pick her up tomorrow, and have her for a few days as you go to St George's Park next week." She places Summer down and she runs to Jack "Daddy you came" she says while hugging Jack. He smile and says "I'll always come Babygirl, Daddy loves you, baby and your mummy lots. Shall we take you to bed? Is that okay Soph?" She nods and tells him there in the first bedroom.
