Jack Grealish marked turning 30 in typically flamboyant style at the weekend by throwing a secret ‘Grealfields’ festival with his long-time girlfriend Sasha Attwood and their baby daughter Mila at his side.
The Everton loanee and England star, who joined the Merseyside club on loan from Manchester City last month, was able to host the bash after being left out of Thomas Tuchel’s latest international squad.
The winger had earlier treated himself to a seven-hour pub crawl in Sweden during the break before flying back to set up his birthday celebration.
Pictures shared on Instagram showed Grealish and Attwood posing on a lawn with Mila, who turned one this month.
The model wrote ‘Happy birthday we love you’ across the image, which showed her in an animal-print dress and boots while Grealish wore double-denim with white trainers.
Further snaps revealed the scale of the party. Guests were handed VIP lanyards bearing the legend ‘Grealfields – Jack’s 30th Birthday’ and a festival-style tent had been transformed into a nightclub, complete with giant LED screens flashing his name, disco balls and a DJ booth. Grealish was later pictured blowing out the candles on a towering cake surrounded by friends.

It capped a memorable week for the former Aston Villa captain, who has made a blistering start to life at Everton after falling out of favour under Pep Guardiola at City.
He has four assists in his opening three Premier League matches and has already been shortlisted for the player of the month award.
His form on the pitch appears to have restored his zest for the game. According to The Sun, Grealish spent seven hours in Stockholm’s Irish bar The Auld Dub during the international break, happily chatting to locals and watching Liverpool’s 1-0 win over Arsenal before heading home.
Wayne Rooney, who played for Everton and Manchester United and was a guest at the bash, said on his BBC podcast that Grealish was rediscovering his love for football.
‘It was a good night, a really good night,’ he said of the party, declining to reveal details of the guest list. ‘Do you know what, Jack’s a really kind-hearted person and I don’t think that comes across as much as it probably should.
He’s got a big heart, he’s very respectful, and I think not playing at Manchester City, it was very difficult for him; I know it was. But going to Everton, he’s at a club where he’s going to get the time and space to enjoy his football and he’s started very well and hopefully that continues.’
The former England star declined to reveal the guest list or any stories from the celebration.
Grealish and Attwood, who have been together since school, welcomed Mila Rose Grealish last September. The birth was announced on Instagram by the Manchester-born winger with Attwood calling it ‘the most special moment of my life’.

Everton boss David Moyes has already hailed the 30-year-old’s attitude and performances since joining the Toffees
Despite his joy at becoming a father, 2024 was a difficult year on the pitch. He spent long spells on the bench and narrowly missed out on a place in England’s Euro squad.
The move to the Toffees represents a fresh start, and Everton boss David Moyes has already hailed the 30-year-old’s attitude and performances, saying after the win at Wolves:
‘It’s nothing to do with me, let me tell you, it’s all to do with Jack and his own mentality to be better. I think some of his football has been really good. The biggest compliment I can probably give him is he’s better than I thought he was.’
Off the pitch Grealish’s earning power shows no sign of slowing. He earns £300,000 a week with City subsidising his Everton deal and has racked up almost £15million in image rights through endorsements with Pepsi, Gucci, Puma, Bose and even Hellman’s mayonnaise.
