The England attacking midfielder, 24, was left distraught after his cousin's house set on fire in the middle of the night.
Codie Owen is said to be like a 'sister' to Phil
Codie Owen, who Phil classes as his sister after they grew up together, bravely managed to get two of her young children outside the property in Stockport, Gtr Manchester.
She then returned into the house to rescue her third child.
The fire brigade attended the blaze at the property near Stockport County's stadium and spent more than two hours putting it out.
Codie and her children were all taken to Stepping Hill hospital to be checked for smoke inhalation.
The fire is believed to have been started by a faulty extractor fan in the upstairs bathroom.
A source said: "Phil was really upset when he heard what had happened.
"He is really really close to Codie.
"They are best pals and spent loads of time together as children. He regards her as a sister and dotes on her children.
"He's now helping her find alternative accommodation as she can't return to the house for a while due to the smoke damage."
In 2021 Codie posted a touching tribute to Phil on her Facebook page, adding: "We are so proud of you".
And in 2018 she posted another Selfie of Phil with her and her son, adding: "Big happy 18th birthday to my rondog."
A spokesperson for Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS) said: "At 1.20am on Friday 2 May, three fire engines attended a house fire in Edgeley, Stockport.
"The fire was on the first floor, and crews used two breathing apparatus, one hose reel and a positive pressure ventilation fan to tackle it.
"One adult and three children were taken to hospital for precautionary checks.
"Crews were in attendance for two hours."
Foden's agent was approached for comment.
Earlier this month, the Prem star was pictured getting kitted out in full Burberry.
Foden promoted the designer brand with snaps of himself in jacket, shorts and trainers at one the label's upmarket shops.
Last month, The Sun revealed Foden went to take his mind off football by going on a fishing trip.
The ace held up a beauty caught on a trip with the team from Manchester-based Carp Fever.
