Conor Gallagher’s debut goal for England leaves his girlfriend conflicted—here’s why

Atletico Madrid midfielder Conor Gallagher finally netted his first goal for the England national team during a match against Ireland. While the achievement delighted many, it likely left his girlfriend, model Ann-Marie Kennedy, with mixed feelings due to her family’s Irish roots, reports Daily Mail.

Gallagher’s milestone came during his 21st appearance for England. Ann-Marie shared her pride in an Instagram post, writing:

"First England international goal. So proud of you. [...] Not sure all my Irish family are too impressed."

Gallagher wasn’t the only England player navigating awkward family dynamics. His teammate Taylor Harwood-Bellis also scored his debut goal against Ireland, seemingly forgetting that his girlfriend’s father is none other than Irish football legend Roy Keane.

This summer, Gallagher made a high-profile move to Atletico Madrid from Chelsea. Since joining, the Englishman has played 15 matches across all competitions for the Spanish club, scoring twice.
