- Sam Kerr’s fiancee Kristie Mewis shares touching photo
Matildas superstar Sam Kerr has celebrated her relationship anniversary with fiancee and fellow footballer Kristie Mewis.
The sporting supercouple, who are due to be married in December, welcomed their first child together, Jagger Mewis-Kerr, in May this year.
Mewis took to Instagram on Sunday morning to post a heartfelt message to Kerr.
‘Happy anniversary my love,’ she captioned a photo of Kerr holding baby Jagger.
‘Nothing has made me happier than seeing you become a mom.’
The popular footballers have been dating since 2021 and announced their engagement in late 2023. The couple met in 2019 during a US National Women’s Soccer League tournament match.

Last week, Kerr stunned fans by announcing that she’s on the verge of her long-awaited playing return with Chelsea.
Kerr hasn’t played for club or country since tearing her ACL on a Chelsea training camp in January 2024.
Her rehabilitation has had setbacks, including requiring further surgery earlier this year, while she also endured a high-profile court case in February.
There is still no fixed date for her return but Kerr is now back training with her teammates, who have been on a training camp in the Netherlands.
Australia’s greatest goalscorer, who has enjoyed a trophy-laden six years at Chelsea, backed herself in to deliver when she returns for her club.
‘My contribution is goals; it’s as simple as that,’ Kerr told Chelsea’s website.
‘For the last, however many years, I’ve been within the top goalscorers, if not the top goalscorer in the team, and that’s where I want to come back to, I’ve got high expectations of myself.
‘I have a lot of confidence in my ability, so the contribution for me is straightforward. It’s goals. That’s what I’m here to do, and that’s what I normally do, so there’s no reason why I can’t do it again.’

Kerr has relished her return to more regular programming at Chelsea, who open their season against Manchester City at Stamford Bridge on September 5, after her horror injury run.
‘During an injury, you’re alone a lot,’ Kerr said.
‘So it’s good to be back with the girls, just doing the same training sessions as them rather than solitary rehab sessions.
‘It’s nice to be back with the girls, back on the pitch, and yeah, I’m excited. I’m most looking forward to being out there, scoring goals and having fun.’
