England is the favorite to win the Euro 2024. A star-studded squad comprises top players like Harry Kane, Bukayo Saka, and Jude Bellingham. But one player who has consistently set himself apart is Manchester City winger Phil Foden. The player was awarded the Premier League’s best player accolade after powering City to their 4th league title in a row.

Foden was groomed as a footballer from a very young age, thanks to his family who always took a keen interest in his talent and provided him with unwavering support. Foden fans want to know who the player’s dearest ones are.

A deeper insight into Phil Foden’s Family

Family has been a huge motivation for Phil Foden since his childhood. He was born to Phil Foden Snr his father and Claire Rowlands his mother in Stockport. Phil Snr, who is claimed to be a semi-professional soccer player, works as his agent. While not much information is available about Claire’s profession, she has been a pillar of strength for the City winger.

Interestingly, Claire always supported Foden’s youth club Manchester City over Phil Snr’s favorite club, which was Manchester United. Yes, you heard it right. Foden’s family are all huge soccer buffs with his father supporting Manchester United and is joined by his brother Callum.

However, Foden’s other siblings are on the player’s side supporting the Sky Blues. Foden has four siblings with Callum being 3 years older than him. Kenzi is his younger brother, and he also has two young sisters, Lois, and Avayah.

Foden’s childhood wasn’t like the rest of the kids as testified by his mother Claire. She stated that the Manchester City star was ‘the cheapest kid ever’ as he only focused on soccer rather than other games or toys. And the hard work paid off with the 24-year-old now controlling the ball like an alchemist. The player now also has a family with the love of his life.

More about Foden’s love life and children

Phil Foden receives huge comfort and support from his partner Rebecca Cooke who also hails from Stockport. It has been reported that Foden and Cooke have known each other since they were teenagers and met at a party. Foden had his first child with his girlfriend in 2019 when his son Ronnie arrived. Ronnie was also Foden’s nickname to avoid confusion at home since he bears the same name as his father.

Subsequently, the couple welcomed their daughter True in 2021 and recently announced that they are expecting their third child soon. With Foden’s family firmly behind him and supporting him, it remains to be seen if Foden puts wide smiles on their faces by winning the Three Lions their first Euro title.
