England captain and Bayern Munich champion Harry Kane’s family escaped unharmed after a car crash in Germany on April 8.
Harry’s children Louis, Vivienne and Ivy were all traveling in a Mercedes van when it collided with a Renault near Schäftlarn in Munich before being taken to hospital for checks. It was later confirmed that none of the children were injured.
Katie Goodland, the attacker’s wife, and their fourth child, Henry, are not believed to have been involved in the incident.
The devoted father-of-four scored in north London the following day for the German giants against Arsenal before returning home to continue domestic duties with the side he moved abroad to join in August 2023.

Harry and Katie Goodland, a fitness instructor, live a very glamorous lifestyle in a £30m Bavarian home, which they moved into following his transfer to Bayern Munich in August 2023
The footballer and the fitness instructor met as pupils at Larkswood Primary School in east London and a relationship blossomed which has lasted for decades.
Harry and Katie were photographed together as pre-teens in 2005 when they both attended the launch of David Beckham’s Football Academy at London’s Buoy Wharf.
They both attended Beckham’s former school – Chingford Foundation School – at the time.
Katie has been with the England captain for years since, and the pair have raised four children – Ivy (born 2017), Vivienne (2018), Louis (2020) and Henry (2023) – as well as providing a home for Labradors Brady and Wilson .
She has previously described her husband’s fame as ‘a bit crazy’ – but it’s more than clear the pair take a lot of pride in each other’s achievements as the Kane clan thrive.
At the end of the striker’s final season in England, Katie posted a sweet photo of the family together on the pitch and wrote: ‘Season done, always so proud. Time to relax and make memories with our babies.’
The childhood sweethearts got engaged in July 2017 when sports star Harry got down on one knee during a romantic trip to Nassau in the Bahamas.
Two years later, the bride-to-be was spotted enjoying a fun hen do, in a top emblazoned with her famous fiance’s number nine.
They married later in 2019, after welcoming their first two children in the previous years.
Their first son, Louis, was born in 2020, three years before his little brother.
In 2017, Harry revealed how lucky he felt to have found his now-wife.
He told the Evening Standard: ‘If I was single now and met people, you’d never know if they were with you for the right reasons.
‘Is it the money? You would never really know. So I’m lucky to have a childhood sweetheart.
‘She always wanted to do her own thing. She went to university and worked hard.’
They got together properly when they were 16 and went to their prom together.
Harry told Esquire magazine in 2015: ‘We went to school together so she’s seen my whole career.
“Of course she thinks it’s a bit crazy. I think she’s even been in the papers a few times and taken the dogs out”.
Harry and Katie were childhood sweethearts, and were even pictured with David Beckham in 2005 as preteens

Harry is not overly phased by the fame and has publicly praised Katie for wanting to live her own life away from the limelight while still passionately supporting her husband from the sidelines

When Harry moved to Germany, the couple were expecting their fourth child. Harry was born shortly after the move
But public life doesn’t seem to faze the mother-of-four, who is regularly photographed watching her husband’s matches and celebrating his goals passionately in the crowd.
The footballer famously kisses his ring finger after every goal he scores in a sweet nod to his girlfriend and their happy family.
They all moved out to Germany after Harry moved from £100million Tottenham Hotspur in the summer of 2023 to a £30million hilltop mansion in an area dubbed the ‘Beverly Hills of Bavaria’.
England’s record goalscorer had previously been holed up in a £10,000-a-night suite at Munich’s Vier Jahreszeiten Kempinski Hotel in Munich after leaving his £17million family home in north London.
The mirror reported that the new pad is complete with a spa and sun deck overlooking the river and a garden on the edge of a forest.
The property was also featured in a 2014 German romcom about a sperm donor who is rendered impotent after being attacked by a ferret.
It was previously owned by former Bayern stars Mehmet Scholl and Lucas Hernandez – who reportedly hosted lavish parties at the home.

Katie and their four children eventually followed the England captain to the continent when they bought a £30million mansion in Bavaria previously owned by former Bayern stars
The Kanes’ move was not without its difficulties, with Harry revealing in November 2023 that he had struggled to arrange schools for his and Katie’s children. However, the striker is now thriving both on and off the pitch
In contrast, Harry has kept a low profile in Munich and enjoys playing golf in Strasslach, a suburb of southern Munich, with former Bayern and Chelsea striker Claudio Pizarro, the Athletic previously reported.
The Kanes’ move was not without its difficulties, with Harry revealing in November 2023 that he had struggled to arrange schools for his and Katie’s children.
But since then the couple have shared plenty of pictures of themselves and the kids enjoying life in Munich, with the three eldest seen in their dad’s full kit as they watch him excel in his new surroundings.
Harry has proved to be a record-breaking arrival to the German Bundesliga, settling into life in his new home both on and off the pitch.
