What religion is Harry Kane ?
Harry Kane has never publicly confirmed any religion, and reputable sources do not document his faith. One religious directory (Beliefnet’s celebrity faith database) lists him simply as Christian, but this appears to be an uncited claim. In fact, in interviews and profiles Kane focuses on his football and family, there is no direct quote from Kane about religion. He grew up in a typical English family (born and raised in London), and his father is Irish. Some fans speculate about a Catholic or Jewish heritage, but none of these are substantiated by credible reporting.
Kane’s religious beliefs are not on the public record, and any labeling of him as Christian or otherwise comes from unverified sources.
Early Life
Harry Edward Kane was born on 28 July 1993 in Leytonstone (East London). His mother is Kim (née Hogg) and his father is Patrick Kane, who came from Galway in Ireland. He has one older brother and is said to have Irish ancestry through his father. Kane grew up in Walthamstow before moving with his family to Chingford in northeast London. He attended Larkswood Primary Academy and then Chingford Foundation School (the same school David Beckham attended). From a young age Kane loved football, he played in local youth leagues (Ridgeway Rovers) and rose through Tottenham Hotspur’s academy. By age 16 he signed a scholarship with Tottenham, setting him on the path to a professional career.
Career Highlights
- Tottenham Hotspur (2009–2023): Kane became Spurs’ all-time leading scorer with 280 goals in competitive matches. He won the Premier League Golden Boot three times (2015–16, 2016–17, 2020–21), and scored 213 Premier League goals for Tottenham (making him second in Premier League history behind Alan Shearer). He helped Tottenham reach the 2019 UEFA Champions League final and the 2021 League Cup final (though Spurs lost both finals).
- Bayern Munich (2023–present): In summer 2023 Kane transferred to Bayern Munich for €110 million, a record fee in Bundesliga history. In his first season he scored 36 league goals (winning the European Golden Shoe as Europe’s top scorer). He then played a key role as Bayern won the 2024–25 Bundesliga title, which was Kane’s first major team trophy.
- England (2015–present): Kane is the England national team’s all-time top scorer (76 goals in 110 appearances as of 2025). He won the Golden Boot at the 2018 FIFA World Cup by scoring six goals, and he captained England to runners-up finishes at UEFA Euro 2020 and Euro 2024. Kane has also scored heavily in qualifiers and the UEFA Nations League, often carrying England’s attack.
Personal Life
Kane married his longtime girlfriend, Katie Goodland, in 2019. Goodland (a former sports coach) was his childhood sweetheart, they met as kids in east London and began dating as teenagers. The couple have three children together (daughters Ivy and Vivienne, and son Louis). They announced in 2024 that a fourth child is on the way. The family keeps a relatively low profile, but shares occasional public moments. For example, Kane was honored with an MBE (Member of the British Empire) in 2019, and he attended the royal investiture ceremony wearing the medal.
Off the pitch, Kane is known to be an avid sports fan: he plays golf and has even trained as an NFL placekicker during off-seasons. He avoids tattoos (his father once warned him he’d regret them), and says he enjoys family life away from the limelight.
Trivia
