The Kane household has been bustling lately: first, England captain Harry departed Tottenham for Bayern Munich, and now his wife Kate has welcomed a baby boy into the world.
The couple, who met during their school years, already have a boy and two girls.
“Welcome to the world, Henry Edward Kane, born on August 20, 2023,” the striker shared on social media, formerly Twitter. “Love you, baby boy!”
Henry, the fourth child of Harry and Kate Kane, arrived on Sunday, just two days after his father scored his inaugural goal for Bayern in a commanding 4-0 victory over Werder Bremen in the Bundesliga.
Kane, aged 30, had been associated with Tottenham since 2004 before departing his childhood club amidst transfer speculation over the past few seasons.
Kate has been chronicling their transition to southern Germany on her Instagram account. Among the posts is a video of the family of five walking onto the pitch at the Allianz Arena. Another photo captures a heavily pregnant Kate standing on the pitch with Harry.
Harry Kane opened up about experiencing “hurtful” abuse on social media after he shared about the birth of his second child.
During the delivery of their daughter Vivienne in 2018, his wife Katie opted not to use pain relief and utilized techniques such as hypnobirthing.
In an interview with ES Magazine, Kane mentioned, “She was a lot less scared than the first time and she had lots of tips to deal with it, breathing tips to stay calm and she did it with no drugs. I posted about how proud I was of her and that’s when the abuse came — like I was saying every woman should have their babies like this.”
He emphasized that he was merely expressing his admiration for his wife’s resilience, and it was disconcerting to face criticism on such a personal matter.
The couple welcomed their third child, a son named Louis, in December last year. Their eldest child, daughter Ivy, is four.
As the England captain, Kane urged social media platforms to take stronger measures to combat trolling and ensure individuals are held accountable for their actions online.
He remarked, “It is too easy for people to go on there, give people a load of abuse then carries on as if that were normal. They would not say it if they saw us in the street. [Social media firms] need to find a way of people having to identify themselves when they sign up. There has to be more accountability, more responsibility.”
While Kane himself avoids reading such abusive messages, he acknowledged the impact it can have on family members who may view the responses, leading to hurtful experiences.
