Jack Grealish’s childhood sweetheart Sasha Attwood has allegedly given the 26 year old footballer an ultimatum to choose between her and Emily Atack, 31 — someone Jack has reportedly been going on dates with.
It is understood that Jack has denied the claims that he’s romantically involved with Emily, and insisted to Sasha that the pair are just friends.
Sasha, 25, is said to be "devastated" over the alleged dates between Jack and Emily, but according to a source close to the footballer, Jack still plans on meeting up with the actor who he’s “intoxicated” by.
Sasha and Jack first met in secondary school as teenagers in Solihull, near Birmingham, and have been on and off ever since.
The source told The Sun: “Sasha has been rocked by news of Jack’s secret friendship. She had no idea.
“Jack has apologised to her for any upset caused, and they were due to meet to discuss their future.
“Jack is really confused. On the one hand, he’s being advised to stay loyal to his childhood sweetheart for all sorts of reasons — commercial and otherwise.
“But on the other, he’s intoxicated by Emily’s company. He can’t seem to stay away from her.
“Plus loads of his club mates have crushes on Emily too — so they’re saying something different.”

“Obviously there have been gags about Jack’s very own transfer deadline day,” they added.
Emily’s friends have since rallied around the 31 year old.
The source continued: “Emily’s mates, including her ex-boyfriend Charlie (Edwards), have all rallied around her since the news of their relationship broke."
“The ball is in his court — but Emily’s made it clear to Jack she won’t be a mug and hang around waiting for him," they added.
In light of the rumours, Emily has received an influx of trolling on social media.
An industry source has branded the whole ordeal as “sexist” as it appears as if Emily and Sasha are being pitted against each other.
They told The Sun: “Much of the follow-up to this story has been pretty sexist — trying to pitch two women against each other. The reality is neither woman has done anything wrong.
“Emily has had some horrible trolling online but her celeb pals have been quick to back her.”
OK! has approached Jack and Emily’s representatives for comment.
A source has previously revealed to the Mail on Sunday that Emily was under the impression that Jack was single.
They said: "She did also think he was single — it is what you expect if you see someone on a site looking for a girlfriend.
"Emily has really enjoyed his company recently, but she certainly isn't going to hang around if he stays with his girlfriend. She will happily get on with her life if that's what he wants to do. It's up to him now."
