LEAH KEANE is the daughter of Roy Keane – but is also engaged to a new England star.

The former Manchester United captain, 53, has five children with wife Theresa – Shannon, Caragh, Aidan, Leah and Alanna.

In fact, he allegedly even got the kids’ names tattooed on his right arm – but not his wife’s.

Keane reportedly said: “The wife did ask me why didn’t I get hers.

“I said, ‘They’ll always be my kids but you won’t necessarily always be my wife,’ which she wasn’t too pleased about.”

Caragh has launched her own brand of healthy cereals which helped her recover from a shock illness diagnosis.

But it is Leah who is swapping supporting her parents’ country in international – to cheer on the Three Lions.

And she had plenty to celebrate when her fiance Taylor Harwood-Bellis scored AGAINST Ireland on his senior England debut, heading in the fifth in the 5-0 Wembley win.

ITV host Mark Pougatch joked to Keane in the studio that the Southampton defender will be bringing his goal up over Christmas dinner, especially because it took the Irishman three years to score for Boys in Green.

But Keane Sr, who may have already started writing his father-of-the-bride speech ahead of their upcoming wedding, immediately quipped back: “Bittersweet for me, this.

“It [the wedding] is not done and dusted yet!

“Things can change very quickly in the Keane household.

“No, he’s a really nice kid, his family have done a good job.

“It’s nice for him, it’s good for him, he’s a bit of a goal threat.”

Harwood-Bellis stayed coy when quizzed about his future father-in-law ahead of facing Keane’s Ireland.

But he has clearly made a good impression on the notorious hardman after falling in love for Leah.

However, Harwood-Bellis – who came through at United’s rivals Manchester City – has not got any photos of Leah on his public Instagram profile as they keep their relationship very private, including when and where he proposed.

Keane took to social media to share some throwback pics of Leah – who he dubs “No4” – through the years for her birthday in July 2021.

And in September 2024, he posted another pic smiling on the sofa with her.

Keane brilliantly captioned the adorable snap: “No4 thinks because she lives 180 miles away that I won’t pop in for a cup of tea. Always watching.”
