Is Jack Grealish flirting with Alisha Lehmann as Mother’s Day comment explained – hoax or DM slide?
The viral claim that Jack Grealish flirted with Alisha Lehmann via an Instagram comment on a Mother’s Day post in 2025 is a confirmed hoax. A fabricated screenshot, which spread rapidly across social media, falsely depicted Grealish commenting, “Happy Mother’s Day [heart emoji],” on Lehmann’s post celebrating Juventus Women’s Serie A title. In the fake exchange, Lehmann replied, “I am not a mom but thanks,” to which Grealish allegedly responded, “I can change that [wink emoji].” However, multiple sources, including Marca and Express.co.uk, have verified that no such interaction occurred, and Lehmann herself debunked the rumor by posting a laughing emoji on X in response to the screenshot.
The hoax gained traction due to Lehmann’s recent split from Juventus midfielder Douglas Luiz, confirmed on May 13, 2025, when she responded with a red cross emoji to a fan’s inquiry about their relationship. The fabricated Grealish comment fueled speculation, especially given his high-profile relationship with Sasha Attwood, with whom he welcomed daughter Mila Rose in September 2024. A review of Lehmann’s Instagram post shows no trace of Grealish’s alleged comments, only fan queries like “Where’s the Grealish comment?” as reported by Tribuna.com.
There is no evidence of Grealish sliding into Lehmann’s DMs either. The rumor appears to stem entirely from the doctored screenshot, with no credible reports of private messages. Grealish’s public persona, often scrutinized for off-field antics, and Lehmann’s 16.5 million Instagram followers amplified the story, but both players’ current commitments—Grealish to Attwood and Lehmann’s focus on her career—make such flirtation improbable. Posts on X further clarified the exchange as fake, with users noting the lack of verification from either party’s verified accounts.
The incident highlights the speed at which misinformation spreads, especially involving high-profile athletes. Lehmann’s lighthearted dismissal and the absence of any real interaction confirm the Mother’s Day comment as a hoax, not a DM slide or genuine flirtation. Fans should approach such viral claims cautiously, as they often exploit personal milestones, like Lehmann’s breakup or Grealish’s fatherhood, for attention.
