Helen started out playing hockey at age seven with her three old brothers for West Bridgford Hockey club.

Whilst Kate’s hockey career took off age eleven when she joined Didsbury Hockey Club after graduating from Brunel University with a 2:1 in Sports Science.

But gold-medallist pair met when they became team-mates for both England and the Great Britain women’s hockey field, before officially tying the knot as the lovers in 2013 after being together for five years.

What has Helen and Kate said about the birth of Pfeiffer?

Helen gave birth to the couple’s daughter three months before England went into lockdown but the former Olympian admitted that it was a good thing.

Speaking in 2020, Helen said: “Lockdown has been mostly positive. I think the negative is that Pfeiffer thinks there’s only two people in her world.”

Kate added: “There is!

“Lockdown brought its challenges but if we’re honest, it’s been really nice being able to spend time together, which we wouldn’t have been able to do otherwise.

“It’s been really lovely to see Pfeiffer growing every day. She’s on the move, commando crawling across the floor at the moment – she’s pretty speedy.
