- Keane expecting with Harwood-Bellis
- Couple made announcement on Instagram
- England defender scored against Ireland on debut
Leah Keane, the fourth of Roy Keane’s five children with wife Theresa, has confirmed she is expecting her first child with Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis. The couple shared the news on Instagram with a black-and-white video showing pregnancy test results, ultrasound scans and holiday clips, captioned: “Half of me, half of you.” The announcement comes just months after Keane celebrated his 54th birthday and enjoyed a family holiday with his existing grandchildren.
Harwood-Bellis, 23, memorably scored just minutes into his England debut against Keane’s Republic of Ireland last November. The former Manchester United captain joked at the time: “It’s not done and dusted yet, things can change really quickly in the Keane household!” The pair got engaged in Italy last year, with Leah’s name tattooed on Keane’s shoulder alongside her siblings

Roy Keane has won more Premier League titles (7) as a player than Harwood-Bellis has made England appearances (1). That has not stopped the Irishman from welcoming the Southampton star into the family.
While Harwood-Bellis focuses on Southampton’s desired return to the top flight, the family will be preparing for the arrival of the new baby in the coming months. Keane, who became a grandfather again earlier this year, will be adding another member to an already lively household.
