The World Cup is in full swing, with England taking on Argentina in the semifinals today. Fans are mainly hoping the squad will bag another win tonight, but none more than the players’ wives and girlfriends. Speaking of which: Who exactly is England captain Harry Kane married to?
Here’s everything you need to know about England’s all-time top goal scorer’s wife, who has been there with him every step of the way.
How old is Kate Kane?
Kate Kane (née Goodland) is 33 years old, only six months Harry’s senior, and was born on January 21, 1993, making her a Capricorn.
What is Kate Kane’s job?
Having graduated with a degree in sports science, Kate went on to become a fitness instructor at a gym in Walthamstow.
She’s also racked up a sizable following on Instagram (@katekanex), amassing over 300k followers, and looks after the pair’s four children: daughters Ivy and Vivienne, and sons Louis and Henry. So cute.
Speaking to the Evening Standard (via Hello!) about the relationship back in 2017, Harry said, “She always wanted to do her own thing. She went to university and worked hard. I have a great family, they keep me grounded and they've worked just as hard as me to get me where I am.”
How did Harry and Kate meet?
Harry and Kate are childhood sweethearts! They met at Chingford Foundation School in east London. While we aren’t sure exactly when the pair’s relationship turned romantic, we can be sure they’ve been smitten from the start, with Kate even posting a throwback photo from them attending prom together.
Harry has also previously spoken on the benefits of being with someone before fame. Talking to the Evening Standard, he said, “If I was single now and meeting people, you'd never know if they were with you for the right reasons. Is it the money? You'd never really know.”
When did Harry and Kate get married?
After getting engaged in 2017 in the Bahamas, the pair went on to tie the knot a couple of years later in 2019. The couple is fairly private anyway, so it's no surprise the location of the wedding was kept under lock and key, but we can see from Harry’s Instagram post marking the occasion that it was an incredibly romantic, seaside affair.
In her own post to celebrate their nuptials, Kate wrote in the caption, "A month ago today I married my soul mate, one of the best days of my life! Thank you for making my dreams come true, you are perfect."
How many children do Harry and Kate have?
Harry and Kate have four children: Ivy (9), Vivienne (7), Louis (5), and Henry (2). Ivy is the oldest, born in 2016, with her sister Vivienne being born two years later in 2018. The pair then welcomed Louis in 2020 and most recently Henry in 2023.
The couple don’t post their children too much, and usually cover their faces online to respect their privacy, but it’s clear the family is super close, with Harry often treasuring sweet family moments on Instagram.
Has Kate been out at the World Cup supporting Harry?
She certainly has! After England beat Norway, she took to Instagram to share a photo of herself in the stands, along with the caption, “Semi finals here we come.”
She also posted a pic ahead of today’s game.
Talk about a supportive spouse!
