Ryan Giggs’ ex-girlfriend has today revealed how she has a 12-week-old baby – after yesterday telling a court how the footballer had told her that she ‘didn’t deserve to be a parent’.
Ms Greville, 36, made the revelation while being cross-examined by the former Manchester United star’s barrister Chris Daw QC at Manchester Crown Court this morning.
Asked if she had read any media reports about the start of the trial, in which Giggs is accused of assaulting her and using controlling and coercive behaviour, she replied: ‘I’ve got a 12-week-old baby, I’ve not got time to read things.’
It comes after she yesterday told a court how the footballer had told her that she ‘did not deserve to be a parent’ during a blazing row in their ‘toxic’ six-year on-and-off relationship.

The court heard was told that Ms Greville and Giggs got into a row about a trip they were going to take to Scotland.
Ms Greville said: ‘I was going to go on my own, he was saying he wanted to take me to Scotland, but it was a nine hour drive.
‘I said, “Fine, great you can take me”. He kept saying “It’s a nine-hour drive, I can’t believe it”.
‘Because it was such a long drive, it sounded like he didn’t want to take me. I said “Fine don’t take me, I’ll get a lift” and I got that response.’
In his email referring to the row, Giggs messaged Ms Greville: ‘A horrible, horrible c***. The same as Stacey (Giggs’ ex-wife), exactly the same. You don’t deserve to be a parent.’
Ms Greville said: ‘We discussed about having children because that’s what I reality wanted, I was desperate to be a mum and he knew what to say to really hurt me.’
In his email Giggs accused her of making him look stupid about the Scotland trip with his mates.
He wrote: ‘Only an evil, horrible c*** does that. Utterly astonishing. Now I look like a t*** telling my three of my friends I am going to Scotland at the weekend. I simply cannot believe you f****** did that. I am so f****** mad right now and I am scaring myself because I could do anything.’
Another text from Giggs said: ‘I hope your company fails too. We’ll tell people what a horrible c*** you really are. You’ve hurt me like no one else has. That’s closure, don’t ever contact me again.’
He later messaged: ‘Keep hiding behind anxiety too. Nothing to do with you being an evil horrible c***.’
He added: ‘I actually hate you for what you’ve done to me today. Hate you. HATE HATE HATE.’
Ms Greville said Giggs did eventually come to Scotland with her.
It come as the court today heard how Ms Greville told a friend that she was ‘not going to walk away’ from their ‘violent’ relationship ‘with nothing’.
In cross examination by the former Manchester United star’s lawyer, Chris Daw QC, Kate Greville was asked: ‘Did you tell your friend you weren’t going to walk away from Mr Giggs with nothing?’
Ms Greville said: ‘Yes.’ However the PR executive said she was not after compensation from the former Wales midfielder. Asked if she was seeking damages from the 48-year-old, she said: ‘Absolutely not.’
Asked about their relationship, Ms Greville, who was married when she had initially began an affair with also married Giggs, told the court that if anything she was put off by the fact that he was a footballer.
The barrister asked her: ‘Did Ryan’s public profile and wealth have anything to do with your interest in him?
Ms Greville said: ‘He was very inspiring, I looked up to him in terms of a business sense, who had worked hard…’
‘He was more attractive because he was successful and had done well for himself, not because of his money and not because he was a footballer, if anything that put me off, him being a footballer.’

Today she told jurors how the former football star preyed on her ‘vulnerability’ and damaged relations with her friends and family. She also told a court she became ‘a slave to his every need and every demand’.
Ms Greville said Giggs would sometimes show her affection but was ‘aggressive’ a lot of the time and would sometimes use violence against her.
‘He damaged relationships with my friends and isolated me from certain people. He had a negative impact on relations with my family. ‘
Giving evidence behind a screen, Ms Greville, who today told the court she is now the mother of 12-week birthday with her new partner, told Manchester Crown Court she became ‘a slave to his every need and every demand’.
She told the court that when Giggs told her to do something she would do it. She said: ‘He made me feel like I had to do what he said otherwise there were consequences.’
Asked about the violent incidents, she said: ‘It wasn’t consistent violence, he wasn’t regularly violent but there were times in our relationship when he was violent.’
She was asked if she had looked up the term coercive control and said: ‘I’m really into psychology when Ryan was making me feel like I was going crazy, paranoid, I googled how I was feeling. The thing that came up was ‘narcissistic personality disorder’ and what I was experiencing was exactly the same as that. ‘
Asked if she had read any media reports about the start of the trial, she replied: ‘I’ve got a 12-week-old baby, I’ve not got time to read things.’
It comes as jurors yesterday heard evidence from Ms Greville, who said Giggs had told her that she ‘did not deserve to be a parent’ during a blazing row between the pair.
She also told the court how the ex-Manchester united star ‘deliberately headbutted’ her during a row at his £1.7million mansion in Worsley in November 2020.
Ms Greville, 36, yesterday broke down in tears as she said of the former Wales manager: ‘He came at me from nowhere and headbutted me in my face.
‘I fell backwards, my lip instantly swelled. I put my hands over my mouth and I could taste the blood.’
Giggs is in on trial accused of controlling and coercive behaviour against his ex-girlfriend between August 2017 and November 2020.
He is also charged with assaulting Ms Greville and her sister Emma. He denies all charges against him and is on trial at Manchester Crown Court.
