Irish WAG Aine May Kennedy and Tottenham Hotspur’s Conor Gallagher have a LOT to celebrate this year. Here is the secret to the glamorous couple’s meteoric rise

Áine May Kennedy, a model and dancer from Glenville, Co. Cork, has become one of football's more visible partners as fiancée to Tottenham Hotspur and England midfielder Conor Gallagher. The pair, who met as teenagers in London while Gallagher was coming through Chelsea's academy, got engaged in Mallorca in June 2025 and recently announced they are expecting their first child, due in January 2027, sharing the news via a countryside photoshoot that attracted more than 53,000 likes.

Kennedy grew up above her family's pub in rural Cork before pursuing Irish dancing and later modelling with Pulse Model Agency, also competing in the 2017 Miss Universe Ireland pageant. She has followed Gallagher's career across three countries, from his rise at Chelsea to a reported €42 million move to Atletico Madrid — where his Irish passport helped the club meet La Liga's non-EU player quota — and back to England when he signed for Spurs in January 2025, with the couple's chow chow Freddy accompanying them throughout.
