Roy Keane swapped football rivalries and television studios for family celebrations this weekend.
The former Manchester United captain proudly walked daughter Leah Keane down the aisle as she married Southampton defender Taylor Harwood-Bellis during an elegant countryside wedding in Wiltshire.
The ceremony took place at Kin House, a restored Georgian manor that has become a popular venue for luxury private events.
For one of football's toughest personalities, the day was clearly more emotional than confrontational.
The couple officially married on Saturday evening, surrounded by family, friends and several football figures.
Leah later shared moments from the celebrations on social media.
Alongside photos from the evening before the ceremony, she posted the caption:
"Last night as a Keane."
Wedding images also showed the bride preparing for her big day, while several guests shared photos from inside the celebrations.
Among them was Southampton captain Jack Stephens, who attended with partner Katie Ellery.
Leah and Harwood-Bellis' relationship timeline:
• Started dating during Harwood-Bellis' rise in English football
• Engagement in Italy during 2024
• Daughter Iris born in December
• Wedding ceremony in Wiltshire this weekend
Harwood-Bellis has previously spoken warmly about having Keane as part of his family.
"It's good, yes, and I take a lot of advice. He's one of the people, outside my immediate family, who I know only has my interests in mind."
Keane has also publicly returned the compliments.
He previously described the defender as a "nice kid" and praised the values of his family.
The wedding arrives after a difficult few weeks professionally for Harwood-Bellis.
The defender recently became part of headlines surrounding Southampton's Spygate scandal, which resulted in huge fallout and controversy around the club.
He later apologized for mocking opponents with binocular celebrations during the playoffs, insisting he had not fully understood the seriousness of the situation.
" As players, we are absolutely gutted, disappointed and heartbroken that it's come to this."
For one weekend, though, football drama took second place.
The spotlight belonged to family, celebration, and a proud father walking his daughter into a new chapter.
