Manchester City star Jack Grealish recently became a proud dad, but there's one person he won't be calling to babysit his newborn daughter — Arsenal’s Bukayo Saka.
In a funny revelation, Grealish shared why Saka, despite being a fan favorite on the pitch, might not be his go-to for parenting help.
Grealish and his long-time partner Sasha Attwood welcomed their daughter, Mila, on September 27. Just hours later, Grealish was back on the field for Manchester City against Newcastle, showing his commitment to both his family and football.
Now, while on international duty with England, Grealish had a good laugh when asked who in the squad he would trust to babysit Mila.

What Grealish revealed about Saka?
When asked who he’d trust the most with baby Mila, Grealish didn’t hesitate to pick Harry Kane. “He’s so reliable,” Grealish said. “One of the oldest lads, so yeah, I’d go Harry.”
But when it came to who he’d avoid, the 29-year-old forward didn’t miss a beat. “The worst... I’m going to go Saka. Yeah, I’m going to go Bukayo. I just reckon he would be sloppy, you know, falling asleep and that.”
It’s all in good fun, of course. While Saka might be lighting up the pitch for Arsenal, Grealish isn’t quite sure he’s ready for naptime duty off it.

When asked who he’d turn to for real parenting advice, Grealish mentioned two other teammates — Jordan Pickford and Declan Rice, calling them his trusted sources.
As for himself? Grealish cheekily dubbed himself the “fun dad” of the group while labeling Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi as the “strict dad.”
Grealish’s lighthearted comments have given fans a glimpse into the close bond shared between the England players, adding some laughs ahead of their upcoming Nations League clash against Greece.
