‘Baby coming!’ – Chelsea ace Sam Kerr & USWNT star Kristie Mewis announce pregnancy

Chelsea star Sam Kerr and U.S. Women’s National Team (USWNT) player Kristie Mewis have announced that they are expecting a child, sharing the joyful news on Instagram. The couple, who have been together since 2021, confirmed their engagement in November 2023 following weeks of speculation fueled by social media posts featuring a sparkling diamond ring.

Now, just a year later, the duo is preparing to expand their family, delighting fans and further cementing their bond. Their announcement included heartfelt images—a tender kiss and a photo of Mewis’ growing baby bump—accompanied by the caption, “Baby coming 2025!”

This news marks a bright moment for the couple amid a challenging year on the field. Kerr, a cornerstone of Chelsea FC Women and the Australian national team, has been sidelined since January 2024 due to a knee ligament injury that kept her out of the 2024 Olympic Games. Meanwhile, Mewis, a midfielder for West Ham United Women, has also faced a demanding year, remaining on 53 international caps without a spot in the USWNT’s gold medal-winning squad.

Through their relationship, Kerr and Mewis have been vocal advocates for normalizing same-sex love, inspiring fans with their openness and support for one another. As they step into this exciting chapter of parenthood, the footballing world celebrates alongside them.
