Is Eoin Cody the Son Of Brian Cody?

No, Eoin Cody is not the son of Brian Cody. As both of them have the same last name and have made a career in the same sport from different generations, fans believe that these two have a father and son relationship. 

To break the bubble, Eoin and Brain only share the same family name but are not father and son as speculated. 

Brian Cody was born on July 12, 1954, to Bill Cody and Annie Hoyne in Kilkenny, Ireland. Similarly, he was married to his wife Elsie Walsh and has two children  Diarmuid Cody, and Donnacha Cody. hence, Brian’s father is Bill and his son is Diarmuid. 

On the other hand, Eoin Cody was born on September 12, 2000, to his parents in Ballyhale, Ireland. Even though his father’s name is still being searched by his fans, one thing can be confirmed it is not Brian. 

Are Eoin Cody And Brian Cody Related?

Eoin Cody and Brian Cody do not seem to be related to one another. None of the authenticated sources have addressed the ongoing rumors about their relationships. Eoin and Brain both play or work for the same team. 

Eoin plays for Kilkenny Senior Championship club Ballyhale Shamrocks and Brian is the manager of the same since 1998. Besides this, the junior Cody is 21 years old and the senior Cody is 67 years old. This shows that the two have an age gap that would for a grandfather and grandchild more than father and son. 

Having said this, until any of the trustworthy sites come up with the news, we cannot confirm or deny the gossip. They share the same family name and there are possibilities that the two are related to one another. On the other hand, there can be many people who share the same family name without being related.
