Grealish made headlines this summer after England manager Gareth Southgate failed to select the attacker for his 26-man Euro 2024 squad.
The childhood sweethearts have used the off-season to enjoy some time abroad, with the couple sharing images on Instagram of their trip to Sardinia.
Last December, the couple’s home was raided while the Premier League winner was away playing for Manchester City.
Sasha, alongside much of Grealish's family, was watching the game when thieves stole £1 million worth of watches and jewellery.
Grealish described the attack as 'traumatic' in an Instagram post following the incident.
At the time, a source told the Mailonline: “Jack is particularly angry about the impact this has had on Sasha.
“They've been together nearly half of his life and he loves her to bits.
“He will now do anything to protect her. They've got their dream home but it means nothing if she's not happy and Jack wants her to feel as safe in it as possible.”
