The Wales manager met Greville that year when she started doing the PR for his Hotel Football, located near Old Trafford. He first went public with his relationship with Greville in August 2018 when the two were photographed on a vacation in Italy. This was around eight months after his divorce with Stacey Cooke. During that time, Giggs infamously made the headlines for his eight-year affair with his brother Rhodri's wife, Natasha.
The Football Association of Wales (FAW) issued a statement regarding Ryan Giggs' arrest on Monday: "The FAW is aware of an alleged incident involving the men’s national team manager Ryan Giggs.
