Roy Keane is preparing to welcome another addition to his growing family after his daughter Leah revealed she is expecting a baby with England international Taylor Harwood-Bellis.
The Manchester United legend, who already has three grandchildren, last became a grandfather in April and marked the occasion with a typically dry Instagram caption: “My new grandson, big baby.”
That was in reference to when he famously called Andy Robertson a 'baby' following a match between Liverpool and Arsenal.

The couple announced the pregnancy with a heartfelt black-and-white video montage, showing Leah’s baby bump, ultrasound scans, and positive pregnancy tests, as well as a clip of them smiling in their car.
The post was captioned: “Half of me, half of you.”
Harwood-Bellis, currently at Southampton, is best remembered by some for scoring on his England debut last November in a 5-0 win over the Republic of Ireland — a result that might have raised eyebrows with his future father-in-law, who is a proud Irishman.

At the time, Keane was on punditry duty for ITV and joked: “It’s (the wedding) not done and dusted yet.
"Things can change very quickly in the Keane household.
"Over the last few months he’s definitely got a goal threat for Southampton, it’s nice for him.

|"It’s great for him to make his debut. He’s a nice kid, his family has done a great job.”
Leah, 26, is the fourth of Keane’s five children with his wife Theresa, whom he married in 1997 in his hometown of Mayfield, Cork.
The pair first met in 1992 while Keane was playing for Nottingham Forest. Their other children are Carragh, Shannon, Aidan, and Alanna.
The former Manchester United captain, known for his fierce competitive streak on the pitch, is equally devoted to family life off it.
He has the names of all five of his children tattooed on his right arm and often shares snapshots of his grandchildren on social media, showing a softer side to the famously hard-edged pundit.
With Leah and Harwood-Bellis now engaged and looking “over the moon” in their announcement video, the Keane household is set for more joyful celebrations in the coming months.
