Manchester United legend Roy Keane has joined the grandad club once more, with the Mirror reporting that his son Aidan has welcomed his first child [1]. The former Premier League icon’s son and his wife, Patsy, have become parents to a baby girl, adding another chapter to the Keane family’s growing lineage.

Patsy announced the joyful news in a TikTok video, sharing a heartfelt tribute to her late mother with the caption, "Heaven sent us an angel girl," according to the Mirror [1]. The couple, who tied the knot in a stunning Welsh ceremony in 2025, have now expanded their family just one year after their wedding.

The Sun confirmed that the news was revealed on Saturday via a black-and-white video showing Patsy’s baby bump before transitioning to the newborn [2]. In her earlier social media posts, Patsy had shared the moment Aidan discovered he was going to be a father, featuring clips of their wedding altar alongside his emotional reaction [1].

This birth marks the fifth grandchild for the 55-year-old Keane and his wife Theresa. Aidan is the couple’s third child, joining sisters Shannon, Caragh, Leah, and Alanna [1]. The arrival follows a busy year for Roy, who welcomed two grandchildren in 2025 alone.

In December, his daughter Leah and her husband, Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis, welcomed a baby girl named Iris. Then, in April, Roy took to social media to announce the birth of his third grandson, simply writing, "My new grandson, big baby," as noted by the Mirror [1].

Patsy also shared a touching message reflecting on their journey, stating, "6 months ago you made me a wife... and now you've made me a mummy," acknowledging the support Aidan provided during her pregnancy [1]. The couple’s timeline, from marriage to parenthood, has been documented across social media, offering fans a glimpse into the private joys of the footballing dynasty.

With Aidan’s daughter joining the fold, Roy Keane’s household is certainly becoming more crowded. The Manchester United legend, known for his fierce competitive spirit on the pitch, has found a new source of pride in his expanding role as a grandfather.
