Speaking about his sister Hollie, Grealish said on one occasion (via The Sun):

"I'm so close with my little sister. Hollie is 19 now, she was born three months premature. They said that she wouldn't be able to talk, she wouldn't be able to walk, and do a lot of stuff but here we are and she can do everything. Obviously I love her so much, yeah I think I'm a good big brother to her."

Jack Grealish also wished his sister on her birthday. He wrote on Instagram;

"Happy 19th birthday to my beautiful little sister Hollie. Keep being you and the happy little girl you are! Love you lots."
