Leah Keane travels to Paris for hen weekend ahead of Harwood Bellis wedding

Leah Keane spent Friday in Paris for her hen weekend ahead of her wedding to Taylor Harwood-Bellis, and harwood bellis is now the family name tied to the celebrations. The trip turned the run-up to the wedding into a public milestone, with her friends building the weekend around the bride-to-be.

Keane and Harwood-Bellis announced their engagement in 2024, and they have already welcomed a little girl named Iris. That puts the Paris trip in the middle of a family stretch that has moved from engagement to parenthood, with the wedding still ahead.

Paris on the Eurostar

Keane travelled on the Eurostar on Friday wearing a white hoodie with “bride” emblazoned across the back in silver diamantes and a white beret. The group drank cans of Hugo Spritz on the train, which was decorated with throwback pictures of Keane and Harwood-Bellis, turning the journey itself into part of the celebration rather than just the trip to get there.

The hen weekend also included pretty floral gift bags, a detail that kept the mood deliberately themed from the start. In practical terms, the trip gave friends a way to mark the last stage before the wedding without waiting for the ceremony itself.

Pink outfits in Paris

Keane wore a sparkling pink outfit for night one in Paris, then switched into pink sequin shorts and a top set with a clip-in white veil. She shared a snap on Saturday wearing white sequin ears, before later appearing in a white vest top embroidered with little red love hearts and white shorts.

Patsy, her sister-in-law, shared a video from the Paris celebrations, extending the weekend beyond Keane’s own posts. That family layer sits alongside recent news elsewhere in the Keane household: her sister Caragh has recently announced her engagement, and her brother Aidan and his wife Patsy are expecting their first child after tying the knot last October.

Wedding run-up

The Paris weekend leaves Keane’s wedding to Harwood-Bellis as the next major event in the couple’s run-up, with the engagement already on record and Iris already part of their family life. For readers following the story, the useful takeaway is simple: the Paris hen do is done, the wedding remains the main event, and the family celebrations around it are already gathering pace.
