Kane and his girlfriend grew up together and even went to the same school. The duo have been dating for almost 5 years now. The England forward and Premier League star spoke about their relationship in an interview given to Esquire magazine in 2015.
"We went to school together, so she’s seen my whole career. Of course, she’s finding it a little crazy. I think she’s even been in the papers a couple of times taking the dogs out”.
Kane had earlier expressed his desire to be a father. Speaking ahead of Euro 2016 he said, “Yes, it’s something I’d like to do in the future. It’s not on the agenda now, but you never know with these things”
Katie Goodland is a beauty with brains and has a degree in Sports Science. She actively uses social media to support her boyfriend and his club. The couple live in a house in Essex London and shares the house with their two dogs.
