He and his wife Jean Keegan have two daughters together Sarah Keegan and Laura Keegan.
Their first daughter Sarah, was born in 1982 so she was only two when Kevin Keegan retired from the game in 1984
Kevin Keegan revealed in an interview with The Guardian that for years his daughters thought he was a professional golfer.
“We went to Spain to live for seven years after I retired and I mostly played golf there and had little to do with football.”
“It wasn’t until I got the call to go back and manage Newcastle in 1992 that they realised I was involved with football. I saw them grow up. I took them to school sometimes.”

He added that when his second daughter Sarah was born in hospital in Southampton, one of the nurses said: “You must be really disappointed Mr Keegan, it’s a girl,” which of course I wasn’t.”
“But it did mean I didn’t have to face the prospect of having a son who would inevitably have been shouldered with all sorts of expectations of following in my footsteps.”
“But if either of my daughters does end up having a son I’d love him to play football.” Additional information about his daughters are unavailable.
