Gary Neville has admitted that he doesn’t know specifically where his brother Phil lives in America. The pair were reunited for the first time in three years as they both appeared on NBC Sports' Premier League coverage.
Since they both retired from playing, their careers have taken different paths. Phil has taken more of a coaching role, having previously managed England Women before moving to the USA to manage Inter Miami in 2021.
His most recent position saw him spend just over two years as manager of Portland Timbers. He left the job back in May after 95 matches in charge.
Gary, meanwhile, has made his name in punditry. He makes regular appearances on Sky Sports’ coverage of the Premier League, as well as the Overlap Podcast.
But this weekend has seen both brothers working together again. They were both part of NBC Sports’ coverage of Nottingham Forest vs Manchester City.
Opening the programme, presenter Rebecca Lowe said: “How about this? A little bit of television history about to be made. Phil Neville and Gary Neville on television together on a show for the first time ever, am I right?”
Gary then responded with: "Absolutely. We've not seen each other for three years either."
Phil, then said: "He doesn't know where I live." It's something that Lowe confirmed. "Correct. He actually doesn't," she added.
"He actually asked Phil, 'Whereabouts do you live?' before we came on air. As you sit here together for the first time ever on television, how does it feel?"
Phil answered: "Well, it's just nice to see him. We obviously spent a lot of time together in our careers.
"I live in America, he lives in England, and hopefully tonight we can have a nice glass of wine."
Gary then added: "It's brilliant. We don't see each other, obviously, that much anymore.

"Phil's been in America with Miami and Portland for the last four or five years, and now he's living in Florida, apparently. Very nice place! It beats Manchester. I wish I was there."
The two brothers played together as teammates for both Man United and England 287 times. The duo lifted six Premier League titles, three FA Cups and the Champions League together.
They also worked together briefly during Gary’s stint as Valencia manager in 2015, when Phil joined as assistant. They, however, only lasted 16 league games, winning just three of those.
Speaking in November last year, Phil spoke about his relationship with his brother, amid his induction into the Premier League Hall of Fame. "We are best friends," he told the Premier League.
"That doesn't change if I am on the other side of the world. The first message I receive after most games and before games is from him.
"Because of our relationship, because he is my brother and best friend, only at moments like this, when he gets the recognition that he deserves, do you realise how special your best friend and brother is. What is nice is that he is now getting recognition outside the people who are closest to him."
