The all-time highest goalscorer for the men’s national football team is leading his country’s challenge at the 2026 World Cup – but what do you know about his wife?

With the 2026 Fifa World Cup in full swing, it’s no surprise that football players are all anyone can talk about right now. Who’s playing for which team, who’s coming off an injury and who’s stepping into the World Cup spotlight for the first time. For those who aren’t so much into sport, but definitely into the players themselves and their WAGs (wives and girlfriends), the tournament is a prime opportunity to take a closer look at their enviable lives.

Among the partners of the most renowned players is Katie Goodland, the wife of Harry Kane, the captain and star striker for the England men’s national team. He is also a striker for Bundesliga club Bayern Munich. Most fans of the football player are aware that the couple have known each other since they were children and have created a beautiful family together – but who is Katie Goodland beyond being Harry Kane’s wife? Read on to find out.

Born in 1993, Goodland graduated from Middlesex University London in 2014 with a degree in sports science. The 33-year-old now works as a professional fitness coach.

With more than 300,000 followers on Instagram at the time of writing, she occasionally shares pictures and clips of her keeping active. She has also used her platform to spotlight brands such as Daisy First Aid and Placenta Plus.

Her ambition has not gone unnoticed by her husband, who often credits her for forging her own opportunities. “She always wanted to do her own thing,” Kane told the Evening Standard. “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.”

She is an advocate for mental health

In 2024, Goodland teamed up with jewellery brand Loquet London for a charity collection called Charms for Change, with a mission to spark conversations around mental health and the importance of looking after your mind as well as your body.

Goodland personally curated charms for the line, choosing stones said to have healing properties and symbols of resilience, turning a jewellery release into something more personal and purposeful. A portion of every sale from the Kate Kane for Loquet London collection went to the Harry Kane Foundation (HKF).

HKF’s goal is to transform a generation’s thinking about mental health by normalising the conversation and encouraging positive habits that support mental well-being.
