Harry Kane has had a huge year. From leading the England football team to third place at the FIFA World Cup, to emerging as the frontrunner to win the Ballon d’Or 2026, the 33-year-old’s 2026 has been nothing short of legendary.
But who has been by his side during all the highs, and also lows? Meet the striker’s wife, Katie Goodland, who was by Kane’s side at the ceremony this evening when the world’s best player will be named.

The pair share four children together: Ivy, Vivienne, Louis and Henry.
How did they meet?
The couple met when they were just four years old, having both attended Larkswood Primary School in Chingford.
They grew up streets away from one another and became friends at an early age. They began dating at the age of 16 and became engaged in 2017 in the Bahamas, tying the knot two years later.
Kane has previously said that he feels lucky to have found love as a teenager and still be with her.
“If I was single now and meeting people, you'd never know if they were with you for the right reasons,” he told The Standard.

“I'm lucky that I've got a childhood sweetheart. 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.”
What does Katie do?
Alongside raising their four children, Goodland also works as a fitness coach and professional trainer.
She first began working in the field after graduating from Middlesex University with a degree in Sports Science in 2014.
Since 2023, the family have been living in Munich after Harry signed a four-year contract with Bayern Munich, worth an estimated £104m.
Their new home is located in “Bavarian Hollywood” and boasts views of the River Isar.
