Rebecca Cooke: Phil Foden's Partner, Kids and Wedding News

Rebecca Cooke is the long-term partner of Manchester City and England forward Phil Foden. As of November 2026 she is not his wife: no wedding has been reported, so "Phil Foden's wife" is not accurate, even though it is what many people search for. The couple, who are both from Stockport, have been together since their teenage years and have three children.

Rebecca Cooke lives a very private life, which is why so little is certain about her. This article sorts what reputable outlets have reported from the copy-paste profiles, and it brings the story up to date for November 2026, including where Foden's own career stands after a difficult year.

Is Phil Foden married to Rebecca Cooke?

No wedding has been reported. Every recent profile we found from established outlets still describes Rebecca Cooke as Foden's long-term partner or girlfriend, and neither of them has announced a marriage or an engagement.

If the couple ever announce an engagement or a wedding, this article will be updated.

Who is Rebecca Cooke?

Rebecca Cooke is best known as Phil Foden's partner and the mother of his three children. She grew up in the Stockport area of Greater Manchester, the same part of England as Foden, and the two reportedly met as teenagers at a party in Stockport, according to Hello!. We could not find any interview she has given, and her social media accounts are reported to be private.

Her age, exact birthplace, family background, education and job have not been published by any reliable outlet, so we do not state them. The older version of this article gave a birth year, a sister's name, a school and a height, and none of that could be confirmed, so it has been removed.

How did Phil Foden and Rebecca Cooke meet?

The couple have been together since they were young. Hello! reports that they met as teenagers at a party in Stockport, and Goal describes them as childhood sweethearts who have been together since their teens. Neither of them has described the first meeting in public in detail, so we cannot give a date for the start of the relationship.

What is clear from reliable reporting is how early their family life began. Foden was 18 when their first child was born in January 2019, and he was already a Premier League champion. Hello! also reports that he moved out of his parents' home and in with Rebecca in 2021.

Phil Foden and Rebecca Cooke's children

Phil Foden and Rebecca Cooke have three children. OhMyFootball does not publish photos of them, and we only give what the couple have made public.

A son, Ronnie, born in January 2019, when Foden was 18.
A daughter, born in July 2021, according to Hello! and Yahoo.
A third child, a boy, born in June 2024. The couple announced the pregnancy on Instagram in April 2024.

The birth of the third child came in the middle of Euro 2024. Foden left England's camp in Germany to be at the birth and then rejoined the squad. England went on to reach the final. The couple had not announced the baby's name when the news broke, and we have not found one published by them since.

The couple's timeline

Only a few milestones are publicly documented, and we list only those.

Teenage years: the couple meet in Stockport, reportedly at a party (Hello!).
January 2019: their first child, Ronnie, is born. Foden is 18 and has already won the Premier League with City.
2021: a daughter is born in July. Foden reportedly moves in with Rebecca the same year (Hello!).
April 2024: the couple announce on Instagram that they are expecting a third child.
June 2024: the third child is born during Euro 2024. Foden briefly leaves England's camp in Germany for the birth.

November 2026: no wedding or engagement announcement from the couple that we could find.

What changed since our first version of this article

This page was first written when Foden was a young City player and the couple had just had their first child. A few things were wrong or are out of date. Rebecca is not Foden's wife, so the headline has changed. The family has grown from one child to three. The details we could not source, such as her height, weight, school, sibling and net worth, have been removed rather than repeated. Foden has also moved from rising talent to a senior England and City name who has just come through a hard season, and the sections below follow him up to November 2026.

Rebecca Cooke's Instagram

Rebecca Cooke's Instagram account is reported to be private, so there is nothing public to link to, and we do not quote follower numbers. The couple tend to keep their lives private, as Hello! puts it, and that is a choice worth respecting.

Rebecca Cooke's height, age and job

These are among the most searched details, and the honest answers are short.

Height: not published by any reliable outlet. The "1.60 m" figure that circulates on copy-paste sites has no source, so we removed it.
Age and birthday: not published reliably. Phil Foden was born on 28 May 2000, but Rebecca's birth date has never been confirmed.
Job: no reliable report names a profession. We do not guess.
Net worth: not published, and we do not estimate it.

Who is Phil Foden?

Philip Walter Foden was born on 28 May 2000 in Stockport, so he is 26 as of November 2026. He joined Manchester City's academy at eight and has become one of the most decorated English players of his generation. Here is a dated timeline, based on his English Wikipedia profile and club reports.

2008: joins the City academy at the age of eight.
July 2016: signs his academy scholarship.
21 November 2017: makes his first-team debut against Feyenoord in the Champions League.
2017/18: wins his first Premier League title, the youngest player to receive a winner's medal.
5 September 2020: debut for England, against Iceland in the Nations League.
2020/21: Premier League Young Player of the Season. Part of the England squad that reached the Euro 2020 final.
2022/23: wins the Champions League as part of City's treble.
2023/24: Premier League Player of the Season and PFA Players' Player of the Year. England reach the Euro 2024 final.
2025/26: ten goals and seven assists in all competitions, in a season in which he lost his regular starting place under Pep Guardiola.
22 July 2026: signs a contract extension that keeps him at City until 2030.

When the extension was announced, Sky Sports reported that Foden had scored 110 goals in 369 appearances for City and won six Premier League titles, the Champions League, three FA Cups and five League Cups. For the contract details, see our report on Manchester City extending Phil Foden's contract until 2030.

Phil Foden in November 2026

Foden's last year has been uneven. Guardiola left City after the 2025/26 season, and Enzo Maresca was appointed manager on 29 June 2026. Foden said when he signed his new deal that he was excited to work with Maresca again.

Foden was left out of England's 26-man squad for the 2026 World Cup, along with Cole Palmer, as ESPN reported. England finished third at the tournament, beating France 6-4 in the third-place match, without him.

At club level, the 2026/27 season started slowly. Reports in October 2026 said he had gone ten months without a goal before scoring in a Premier League win over Ipswich, and that he had been sent off in City's 1-0 win at Manchester United on 13 September 2026. On 20 October 2026 he then scored a hat-trick in City's 5-1 Champions League win over AEK Athens at the Etihad, with two of the goals set up by Rico Lewis. Maresca repeated that he considers him one of the best English players, and Foden said he was getting back to his level "slowly but surely".

For England, reports on 6 November 2026 said Thomas Tuchel had left Foden out of the squad for the Nations League games against Croatia on 12 November and Spain on 15 November. His England record stood at 49 caps and 4 goals as of 31 March 2026.

Foden and the family: how football and home life meet

Foden became a father early. He has played at two European Championships in the years since Ronnie was born, finishing runner-up both times, and the Euro 2024 birth showed how the family and the tournament overlapped. He was back with the squad within days, and England went on to the final in Berlin.

Reports on Foden's difficult 2025/26 season, in which he lost his regular place under Guardiola and missed the World Cup squad, do not link his form to his private life, and we would not either. What can be said is that a new manager and a hat-trick in October 2026 have changed the mood around him, and that he signed until 2030 in the summer.

If you are following City this season, our coverage of the club and its players is a good starting point, and we update this article when there is a verified change to the couple's status.
