Roy Keane, the Manchester United legend, has amassed a fortune estimated at £30 million since his playing days. The outspoken former midfielder, now a pundit for Sky Sports and ITV, is currently in the United States covering the World Cup, where his comments have already stirred controversy.
Keane has been married to Theresa Doyle for nearly 30 years, despite a rocky start to their relationship. On their first date, Keane suggested going to the cinema, prompting Doyle to walk out. 'She got out and I said, 'Might see you next week?' and she said, 'I don't think so' and slammed the door,' Keane recalled. The couple have five children: Shannon, Caragh, Aidan, Leah, and Alanna.
Keane's daughter Leah is married to Southampton captain Taylor Harwood-Bellis, who was involved in the 'Spygate' scandal in May after the Championship club were expelled from the play-offs for spying on opponents. Harwood-Bellis had celebrated a victory by mimicking binoculars, a gesture that backfired. The couple married earlier this year, with Leah posting on Instagram: 'Last night as a Keane.' Harwood-Bellis has received advice from his father-in-law, though tensions arose when he scored for England against Keane's native Ireland in November 2024.
A keen animal lover, Keane occasionally shares glimpses of his home life on social media. He is also a devoted fan of hurling, the traditional Irish sport he played as a youth. Keane has called the hurling All-Ireland final 'the greatest sporting spectacle on the planet,' ranking it above the Champions League final. He once took fellow pundits Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville to Croke Park to try hurling, naturally emerging victorious.
