While Harry Kane has cemented himself as one of England's greatest-ever strikers, off the pitch his main priority is his wife Kate and their four young children17:16, 05 Jul 2026Harry Kane has become one of England's greatest-ever footballers, breaking records for club and country while establishing himself as one of the world's most lethal strikers. He secured England's place in the round of 16 after scoring two goals in the second half of the match against Congo on Wednesday evening.Whether captaining England at major tournaments or leading the line for Bayern Munich, the 32-year-old has spent much of the past decade in the spotlight. But behind the scenes he lives a quiet family life with his wife Kate Goodland who has been by his side since the pair were teens.Together, the couple are raising four children and have embraced a new chapter of family life after relocating to Germany following Kane's blockbuster move to Bayern Munich.Childhood sweetheartsHarry and Kate's love story stretches back to their childhood in east London.The couple first met while attending Larkswood Primary School before both going on to study at Chingford Foundation School in Waltham Forest. The school has become well known for producing footballing talent, with former England captain David Beckham also among its former pupils.An old photograph from their school days even shows Harry and Kate posing alongside Beckham as teenagers, years before Kane would follow in his footsteps by captaining England.Their relationship has stood the test of time, with Kane previously admitting he feels fortunate to have found his partner before his career took off.He told the Evening Standard that dating would be far more difficult now because it would be impossible to know whether someone was interested in him for the right reasons.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. So I'm lucky that I've got a childhood sweetheart."Secret weddingAfter dating for well over a decade, Harry proposed during a holiday in the Bahamas in 2017. The couple announced their engagement with a photograph on social media showing Kate proudly displaying her ring while standing on the beach.Two years later, in June 2019, they married during an intimate ceremony at an undisclosed location.Neither Harry nor Kate revealed exactly where the wedding took place, choosing instead to keep the celebrations largely private. However, they did share several photographs from the day with fans online.Kate described Harry as her "soul mate" and said marrying him had been one of the best days of her life, thanking him for making her dreams come true.One sweet snap showed Harry lifting up his bride as he kissed her on a jetty into the ocean. She wore a fitted Ralph and Russo gown featuring a sweetheart neckline, an embellished bodice and a fishtail skirt with a long train.But in typical celebrity fashion, Kate changed into a second gown for the evening, complete with a V-neck and sheer detailing with delicate floral embroidery.ParenthoodFamily has always been central to Harry and Kate's lives. Their eldest daughter, Ivy Jane Kane, was born in January 2017, just months before Harry captained England for the first time.A second daughter, Vivienne Jane Kane, followed in August 2018. The family then welcomed their first son, Louis Harry Kane, in December 2020.In August 2023, Harry and Kate announced the arrival of their fourth child, another son named Henry Edward Kane. Sharing the news on Instagram, Harry wrote: "Welcome to the world Henry Edward Kane. 20/8/2023. Love you baby boy!"‌The family also own two Labrador dogs, Brady and Wilson, who regularly feature in social media posts.Despite balancing the demands of elite football with family life, Kane has spoken on several occasions about the importance of being present for his children whenever his schedule allows.‌In an interview with SoccerBible, he said: "Being a dad and a husband is the most important part of my life."Germany moveOne of the biggest decisions Harry and Kate have faced came in the summer of 2023 when the striker completed his move from Tottenham Hotspur to Bayern Munich.‌Having spent his entire senior career in England up until that point, the transfer represented a huge change for the whole family.Initially, Harry moved to Germany on his own while preparations were made for Kate and the children to join him. The family eventually relocated to Bavaria, where they now live in a luxury home in one of Munich's most exclusive residential areas.The move meant leaving behind the £17 million London home they had shared during Harry's Tottenham career, complete with its own gym, cinema room and entertainment spaces.‌Adjusting to life in a new country could have been daunting, particularly with four young children, but Kane has explained that the transition has gone more smoothly than expected.Speaking to The Guardian, he said the children had settled into school, had already enjoyed skiing and that the family had started building friendships with teammates' families and other parents.‌Their £30million home is located in the area dubbed the "Beverly Hills of Bavaria". He's estimated to pocket a whopping £400,000 a week at his new club, with performance-related bonuses not included in that figure. This means he takes home a base rate of £21.6m per year.The house reportedly sits on the edge of a forest with stunning views over the river, and it even comes complete with its own spa. The home has previously been lived in by ex-Bayern stars Mehmet Scholl and Lucas Hernandez.The Mirror spoke to one of their neighbours Renate Lindner who said: "He has a lovely family. I have seen him in the street to say hello. I love football so I knew straight away who it was. He was very polite and I wanted to make him feel welcome here."‌Kane's net worth stands at over £100m, which exceeds even Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard - one of the most iconic and talented English players of all time.Kate's careerWhile she is often recognised as Harry Kane's wife, Kate has established her own career away from football. After studying sports science at university, she qualified as a personal trainer.Article continues belowFitness remains one of her passions and she occasionally shares workouts and healthy lifestyle advice with her followers on Instagram.Kate has also supported charitable projects linked to her husband's Harry Kane Foundation.She previously collaborated with jewellery brand Loquet London to create a special collection helping to raise money for the foundation's work promoting positive mental health among children and young people.
