The two pro football players, Jack Hendry and Colin Hendry, are often regarded as father-son due to their shared surname. Fans often seem curious about their relationship other than the football. However, they are not related at all.
Hendry is a surname often used by Scottish natives from Central and Northeast Scotland. Jack Hendry is from Glasgow, Scotland, and Colin is from Keith, Scotland; thus, the same last name.
Hahahaha…

Maybe their love for football and Colin having a footballer son further added fuel to the rumor, but the football player son of Colin is Callum Hendry, the forward for Salford City, and not Jack.
Before this, Callum played for Blackburn Rovers, his father’s former team. So, once we peek at the family tree of both Hendry’s, everything falls into place.
Jack Hendry never revealed his father’s name, but that is surely not Colin
The former Celtic defender Jack Hendry, born Jack William Hendry, is 29 years old and was born on May 7, 1995, in Glasgow, Scotland, to parents mother Karen H Hendry and father, whose name he has never revealed.
Yet, he has posted about his father, who is 58 years old as of 2024, on his Instagram, which is surely not Colin Hendry. Interestingly, he has never posted about his mother.
Meanwhile, Jack is the only brother to his two sisters, Melissa Hendry, 34 years old, and Zara Hendry, whose age is unknown but seems older than Jack.
Currently, center-back Jack Hendry is with his partner, Robyn Emma Keen, who is also pregnant with his child and is expecting the baby in September 2024, as per Robyn’s mother Alison Keen’s Instagram.
On the other hand, Colin Hendry is a 58 professional football coach and player born on December 7, 1965, in Keith, Scotland.
He married his wife, Denise Hendry, in 1987 and shared four children: Rheagan, Kyle, Callum, and Niamh.
However, he suffered the loss of his wife in 2009 after contracting meningitis in hospital, which many believed to have emerged due to the damage repair operation from her earlier cosmetic surgery in 2002.
Colin has looked after his children ever since his wife left the world, and he was also in a relationship with a girlfriend in 2015. However, details of his recent relationship remain unknown.
Whatever the situation, Colin Hendry and Jack Hendry are not related to each other by any means.
