The stunning wife of footballer Robbie Keane is pictured here showing off their baby son Robert.

Former Miss Ireland contestant Claudine married the Celtic footballer in June 2008 and gave birth to their first child eight months ago.

Speaking about her marriage, the 26-year-old blonde told Hello! magazine: 'Friendship, having things in common and working at it is really important.

'Obviously trust is very important and being able to rely on one another. It’s not always easy but because Rob and I get on so well, it’s easier than it might be.

'I don’t want to tempt fate,' she says, 'but I’m very happy with Rob. I would never sit and say, ''I absolutely know'' because nobody knows what the future holds. But I’d like to think we’ll always feel this way.

'I don’t think there’s much of a secret – you try to remain as loyal as possible and keep the marriage strong.

'I think it’s simple things, like being together and making an effort with each other’s friends, that count.

'Rob and I have been lucky so far, and when you’re happy in your relationship you never foresee any trouble. You hear these stories in every walk of life: it could just as easily be a banker as a footballer.'

'I think we are very normal and we have our own things going on. Obviously we do nice things on occasion, because of the job, but most of the time we’re at home watching EastEnders and chilling out with our baby.'

Keane has just gone on loan from Tottenham Hotspur to Celtic. She added: 'It’ll work out fine and it’s not such a dramatic move as the last time, when Rob went to Liverpool.

'Then it was up in a moment and everything familiar all gone. This time we don’t have to move house: we’ll stay in a hotel. It’s something new, short-term and quite exciting.'
