Kavanagh Christmas: A Kavanagh Legends Holiday Novella by Sarah Robinson (15)

Where Are The Kavanaghs Now?

As the Kavanagh series comes to an end, take a moment to catch up with the family on what the future holds for each of them after Murphy’s high school graduation.


The Parents: After a long struggle with diabetes and heart problems, Seamus Kavanagh passed away from a heart attack two years ago, when Murphy was only sixteen years old. Dee Kavanagh continued to be a doting mother and grandmother until she, too, passed away only a few days after Murphy’s high school graduation. She went comfortably in her own bed while she slept, and her family was devastated by the loss. They created a scholarship fund in her honor for five local children every year to be able to go to college, and her legacy goes on in each and every one of her kids and grandkids.


Oldest Son, Rory Kavanagh: Rory and Clare went on to have four children—Murphy, their only son, and three daughters: Brontë, Ciara, and Eve. Rory sold his portion of Legends gym to Kieran, and now devotes all of his time to the ten different animal shelters and rehabilitation centers he owns throughout New York and New Jersey. Clare has opened up her own veterinarian clinic, and continues to be successful in her career. Murphy was accepted into Columbia University and plans to become a pediatric oncologist, inspired by his own history of cancer during childhood. Brontë is a prominent ballet dancer, even at her young age, and looks to have a bright future on the stage. Rory and Clare’s youngest daughters are still in grade school.


Second Son, Kieran Kavanagh: Kieran and Fiona were blessed with two children, Gavin and Grace. Kieran has taken on full ownership of Legends MMA gym and turned it into a huge franchise with more than fifteen locations through New York, Pennsylvania, and New Jersey. He plans to add ten more locations in other states this year. Fiona is still a florist and has turned down multiple offers to sell or expand her business. She’s perfectly happy and content working with flowers and living simply. They continue to care for Fiona’s younger sister, Shea, whom they’d both adopted. Shea went on to graduate from a local college and became a writer. Her memoir about her childhood and being raised by her sister became a New York Times bestseller and is currently being turned into a major motion picture. Gavin is still in high school, but already is shaping up to have an amazing future in football with scouts already coming to most of his games. Little Grace is the baby of the family and still deciding what she wants to do.


Third Son, Kane Kavanagh: Kane and Nora were finally married in a lavish wedding in Central Park before settling into their new home. They never ended up having their own children, but instead, decided to become foster parents. To date, they’ve cared for twelve different children of all ages in their home. Nora runs a successful practice as a psychologist on the Upper East Side in Manhattan and Kane continues to be retired, spending his time volunteering as a coach or trainer at local youth programs.


Fourth Son, Quinn Kavanagh: Quinn and Kiera ended up moving into Manhattan, still wanting the freedom of a little distance between them and the family, but never missing a Sunday dinner in Woodlawn. Kiera still works as a physical therapist at a local hospital and loves everything about her job. Quinn continues to create beautiful sculptures that have finally been recognized on a mass scale by the public. He’s one of the foremost artists in the world and often travels to give master class talks and guest lectures at universities, or takes on apprentices to foster new talent. The loving couple have four beautiful children together: Daniel, Olive, John, and Ryan.


Youngest Son, Jimmy Kavanagh: Jimmy and Sophie tied the knot in a small, intimate wedding in Dee and Seamus’s backyard with the entire family in attendance. Jimmy officially adopted Sophie’s daughter, Ava, and loves her as if she was his own. The two also had twins, Matthew and Michael, who remind him a little too much of Kane and Kieran, but whom he loves nonetheless. Sophie left law enforcement eventually and accepted a position as a Criminal Justice Professor at Columbia University. Jimmy continued to rise through the ranks at the NYPD and is a captain now.


Cousin/Adopted Daughter, Casey Kavanagh: Casey and Flynn fell deeply in love and got married in a small wedding in their local church. They had one daughter together, named Elle after Casey’s deceased mother, and decided that was enough for them. Under Seamus’ tutelage, Flynn became one of the best sports agents in the country and started his own agency. He spends most of his time traveling, which works out well, since Casey became a sports journalist and travels around the country with him, writing and doing broadcasts for ESPN. They take Elle with them everywhere they go, hiring tutors on the road, and she loves every minute of it.


The Kavanaghs continue to get together every Sunday for dinner together.
