Harry's main supporter is his wife Kate Goodland, but what do you know of the woman who has captured the heart of one of England's most famous men? It's clear that the pair have the strongest bond, with Harry always covering his wedding band with medical tape during his matches to prevent it getting damaged during matches.

Kate is a 31-year-old fitness instructor and has quite a fan base herself – almost 100k followers on her Instagram page.

How they met

Kate and Harry really are childhood sweethearts. The pair first met while they were pupils at Chingford Foundation School and they had a celebrity connection from an early age – they were both photographed with David Beckham in 2005 aged just 11 and 12 for the launch of his football academy.

Harry previously revealed how lucky he was to have found his childhood sweetheart. "If I was single now and meeting people, you'd never know if they were with you for the right reasons," he said to the Evening Standard. "Is it the money? You'd never really know. So I'm lucky that I've got a childhood sweetheart. She always wanted to do her own thing. 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."

Engagement

The couple got engaged in the summer of 2017 while on holiday in the Bahamas. The pair were on a romantic break with their daughter Ivy when Harry popped the question on the beach. The star shared a photo on social media of himself bending down on one knee as he asked Kate to be his wife. He wrote: "She said YES!"

The couple tied the knot a couple of years after getting engaged, with Harry announcing the news via social media in June 2019. Although the couple opted to keep the location of their nuptials out of the public domain, the photos looked incredibly romantic with Harry holding and kissing his bride with the open sea stretching out behind them.

Children

Harry and Kate have quite the brood, welcoming two daughters and two sons. The proud couple are parents to seven-year-old Ivy Jane and Vivienne Jane, five. Their two sons are Louis Harry, three, and Henry Edward, who is ten months old. In addition, the family has two labradors, making it a full house!

Kate previously wrote about her love of hypnobirthing on her own Instagram page. She penned: "Once Harry and I started a hypnobirthing course it completely changed our opinions on birth. It took away all of the fear and we were both really excited. It taught us how natural birth is, and gave us the tools to deal with birth."
