Kerr, 31, and Mewis, 34, have been one of football’s most admired power couples since they met in 2020. They went public with their relationship the following year and quietly got engaged in late 2023, later sharing photos of the special moment with fans.
“She’s my biggest supporter, always listening to me nag and complain, all of my crazy antics,” Mewis told People magazine in a past interview, beaming with admiration for her partner.
Both athletes have faced injury challenges over the past year. Kerr has been recovering from a serious knee injury sustained at the start of 2024 but is now nearing a long-awaited return to the pitch. Mewis, who last played for West Ham in September 2023, announced her pregnancy in November after coming back from a six-month leg injury.
Despite those hurdles, the couple has now scored their biggest win yet – parenthood.
