Kieran Tierney Wife and Girlfriend: Is He Married?

As of November 2026, Kieran Tierney is not known to be married: no reputable outlet has reported a wedding, and he has never named a wife in public. The only partner ever linked to him in the press is Amy Hale, an Irish dancer whom The Scottish Sun reported in August 2017 to have been dating the Celtic defender for almost three years. In November 2018 the same paper wrote that he had hinted he was single again, and in June 2021 that he was thought to be single. No relationship has been reported since.

Tierney, born on 5 June 1997, is 29 and back at Celtic, the club he joined as a seven-year-old, after six years at Arsenal. He is known as a very private player, and his Instagram bio reads "So many assume. So little know." In this article, OhMyFootball sets out what has actually been reported about Kieran Tierney's love life, with dates and sources, corrects the guesses that many websites repeat as facts, and brings his career up to date for November 2026.

Is Kieran Tierney married?

There is no reliable report that Kieran Tierney is married. We could not find a wedding announcement, a wedding photo, an interview in which he mentions a wife, or a report in the Scottish or British press of him getting married or engaged. Several websites call him "married to Amy" or even give his "wife" a different name altogether, but none of them cites a source, and they contradict each other.

So if you searched for "Kieran Tierney wife", the honest answer is that, as far as is publicly known, he does not have one. Whether he has a partner today is not publicly known: he keeps his private life out of the public eye, and it has never been part of his public profile.

Who is Kieran Tierney's girlfriend?

No current girlfriend of Kieran Tierney is publicly known. The only partner ever named in the press is Amy Hale. On 22 August 2017, The Scottish Sun published a story by Douglas Walker reporting that Tierney, then 20, had been dating Amy for almost three years, and described her as an Irish dancer. The next day, the Glasgow Evening Times (now the Glasgow Times) repeated the story, citing The Sun.

Amy Hale is a private person, not a public figure, and we found no interview she has given. Beyond that 2017 report, we do not publish details about her life.

Are Kieran Tierney and Amy Hale still together?

Reportedly not. On 24 November 2018, The Scottish Sun wrote that Tierney had "hinted that he was single again" and that he had "recently dated" Amy Hale. In June 2021, the same paper wrote that he was "thought to be single" and had "previously dated" her. Neither Tierney nor Amy has commented publicly on the relationship or on when it ended.

Some websites claim that the couple are now married, and others that they split after his move to Arsenal in 2019. We found no source for a marriage, and the Sun's November 2018 report came before his move to London. No other relationship has been reported since.

Who is Amy Hale?

Amy Hale is a private person, not a celebrity or an influencer, and we found no interview she has given. The 2017 reports described her as an Irish dancer. The ages, birth years, school grades and social media handles that many websites give for her have no source, and we do not repeat them.

Does Kieran Tierney have children?

There is no reliable report of Kieran Tierney having children. Neither he nor anyone close to him has announced a child, and we do not guess.

Who is Kieran Tierney?

Kieran Tierney was born on 5 June 1997 in Douglas, on the Isle of Man, and moved with his family to Wishaw, in North Lanarkshire, when he was about ten months old. He grew up a Celtic supporter, signed for the club's academy at the age of seven and became one of the best Scottish left-backs of his generation. Since June 2021 he has also been an ambassador for the Scottish SPCA, the Scottish animal welfare charity.

His career so far:

Aged seven: joins the Celtic academy.
April 2015: makes his Celtic debut against Dundee.
2015/16 to 2018/19: wins four league titles with Celtic, including two domestic trebles (2016/17 and 2017/18), and is named PFA Scotland Young Player of the Year three seasons running. In August 2017 he captains Celtic for the first time in a competitive match.
March 2016: wins his first Scotland cap, in a 1-0 win over Denmark.
August 2019: joins Arsenal for a reported £25 million.
August 2020: starts the FA Cup final, which Arsenal win 2-1 against Chelsea.
March 2022: a knee injury ends his season.
August 2023: joins Real Sociedad on a season-long loan and plays in La Liga, although hamstring injuries interrupt his season.
June 2024: is injured against Switzerland at Euro 2024 and misses the rest of the tournament.
June 2025: leaves Arsenal when his contract expires and rejoins Celtic on a five-year deal.
November 2025: scores in stoppage time of a 4-2 win over Denmark at Hampden that sends Scotland to their first World Cup since 1998.
May 2026: wins the Scottish Premiership and the Scottish Cup with Celtic.
June 2026: plays at the World Cup in North America.

In this farewell post to Arsenal in June 2025, Tierney thanked the club's staff, his teammates and the fans, writing that being part of "this special club for 6 years has meant so much to me". He signed off with "North London forever".

Back at Celtic: the 2025/26 double

Celtic announced a pre-contract agreement with Tierney in February 2025, and he officially returned on 10 June 2025 on a five-year contract. He made his second debut for the club on 3 August 2025, in a 1-0 win over St Mirren.

In this short Celtic FC clip from the day his return was announced, Tierney talks about pulling on the shirt again: "Just to be here with the Celtic strip on again just feels amazing. It's surreal."

It was a turbulent first season back. Brendan Rodgers left as manager in October 2025, Martin O'Neill took over on an interim basis, Wilfried Nancy was in charge from December 2025 to early January 2026, and O'Neill then returned. Celtic lost the League Cup final 3-1 to St Mirren in December 2025, but they won the league on the final day, beating Hearts 3-1 at Celtic Park on 16 May 2026. Tierney, who scored six league goals that season according to Wikipedia's statistics, was quoted by Sports Mole after the game saying: "This is the best thing I have ever won." A week later, on 23 May 2026, Celtic beat Dunfermline Athletic 3-1 in the Scottish Cup final at Hampden to complete the double.

Tierney marked the title with this photo of Celtic's players celebrating with the Premiership trophy, captioned "Through the hard times and the good".

In this post-match interview with Premier Sports, filmed after the 3-1 win over Dunfermline in the Scottish Cup final, Tierney reacts to completing the double.

In the 2026/27 season he is still a regular for Celtic, with 17 appearances and one goal in all competitions by early November 2026, according to Wikipedia's statistics.

Scotland and the 2026 World Cup

Tierney has won more than 50 caps for Scotland since his debut in 2016, and he earned his 50th in June 2025 against Iceland. He played at Euro 2020 and Euro 2024, and his biggest moment in a Scotland shirt came on 18 November 2025, when he scored in stoppage time of the 4-2 win over Denmark at Hampden that sealed qualification for the 2026 World Cup.

After that win he posted this photo of himself celebrating at Hampden, writing: "so proud to be part of this team and make history again".

He was named in Steve Clarke's 26-man World Cup squad in May 2026. He was an unused substitute when Scotland beat Haiti 1-0 in their opening game, thanks to a goal from John McGinn, started the 1-0 defeat by Morocco and came on at half-time in place of Andy Robertson in the 3-0 defeat by Brazil in Miami. With three points and a goal difference of minus three, Scotland finished third in Group C and were knocked out when their place among the best third-placed teams was ruled out on 27 June 2026.

Robertson and Tierney have shared Scotland's left side for years, and you can read about Andy Robertson's wife Rachel Roberts. From Tierney's Arsenal years, see Oleksandr Zinchenko's wife Vlada Sedan, whose husband's arrival in 2022 reduced Tierney's playing time, and Bukayo Saka's fiancée Tolami Benson.

Injuries

Injuries have followed Tierney through his career. At Celtic he suffered an ankle injury in 2016 and a jaw injury in the 2017 Scottish Cup final, then had hip problems and hernia surgery in 2019, and he did not make his Arsenal debut until September of that year. At Arsenal he dislocated a shoulder in 2019 and had a season-ending knee injury in March 2022. In Spain, hamstring injuries interrupted his loan, and another injury ended his Euro 2024 after two games.
