Michael Carrick’s wife is Lisa Roughead (often written as Lisa Carrick), a long‑time partner he has been with since their school days, and the couple have children together.

Who is Michael Carrick’s wife?

  • Lisa Roughead is Michael Carrick’s wife, and she generally keeps a low public profile compared with many football WAGs.
  • She and Carrick started dating as teenagers after going to the same school and have been together since around the age of 15.

Relationship and family

  • Michael and Lisa married in 2007 after many years together, marking the step from childhood sweethearts to a long‑term football couple.
  • They have two children, including a son Louie and a daughter Jacey, with Jacey reported to be involved in the Manchester United academy setup.

Personality and public moments

  • Lisa is often described as supportive but steely , someone who prefers privacy yet has stood firmly by Carrick through club moves, titles, injuries, and his mental‑health struggles after the 2009 Champions League final.
  • One of her rare public flare‑ups came in 2014, when she posted (and later deleted) a sharply worded tweet criticising Roy Keane after his on‑air attack on Carrick’s performance and interview, an exchange that is still referenced in recent coverage.

Recent “trending topic” angle

  • Lisa has returned to headlines in early 2026 because Roy Keane joked on a football podcast that Carrick’s wife has “a big mouth,” referring back to that old tweet, just as Carrick stepped in again as Manchester United interim manager.
  • Fans on forums are split between seeing Keane’s comment as a lighthearted callback to the incident and viewing it as an unnecessary cheap shot, which has kept “Michael Carrick wife” and Lisa’s name circulating in football discussions.
