Sam Kerr and wife Kristie Mewis have ended their honeymoon and flown back to London with son Jagger after tying the knot in Australian sport’s wedding of the year.
The couple have been pictured with a mountain of luggage as they arrived for their flight home, with their son delighting an airline staffer at the check-in desk after the football stars left their luxurious hotel.
Kerr and Mewis stayed in a stunning suite at Crown Towers for four nights, checking in before their wedding and lapping up the stunning views and lavish furnishings for three days afterwards.
Their stay in Kerr’s home town has been cut short because she is due to play for Chelsea against West Ham on January 11.
Kerr and Mewis were wed at the stunning Dionysus Villa in Perth’s north-east, with the Matildas star donning a black tuxedo with a white boutonniere.
Her wife, Kristie, stunned in a beautiful white outfit that featured a corset which was overlaid with a transparent gown that had slivers of sparkling material running down the length of the dress.

The couple were married in front of around 100 people at the Swan Valley venue, with a crowd of Kerr’s Matildas team-mates arriving to celebrate with the happy newlyweds.
On Thursday, Kerr took to Instagram to publish a snap of herself celebrating with friends after the wedding.
Kerr reposted a photo on her story showing her celebrating the new year in front of a giant 2026 sign, posing alongside her friends Josh Lofthouse and Tyson Hodge.
It appeared the party had gone on into the late hours, with the Chelsea star seen still wearing her tuxedo from her wedding.
The footballer raised one arm in the air and smiled as she posed for the snap.
The day before the wedding, Mewis and Kerr had invited guests to celebrate with them at a drinks reception in Perth. Mewis’ former US National Team team-mate Stephanie McCaffrey was pictured attending the celebration.
On New Year’s Day, the Matildas skipper published another snap on her Instagram story from what appeared to be the balcony of her and Mewis’ room at Crown Towers.
She showed off a stunning view of Matilda Bay and the Swan River, as well as the hotel’s swimming pool.

Kerr and Mewis met back in 2019, with the Chelsea striker having revealed earlier this year that her partner, a former West Ham United and US National side midfielder, had ‘slid into her DMs’.
The couple announced their relationship in 2021, after the Tokyo Olympics and would get engaged in 2023.
Kerr carried Jagger down the aisle on New Year’s Eve, a moment that Mewis had predicted would make her cry.
‘That is going to be gut-wrenching for me, I will sob when that happens,’ Kristie had told the Mewis Squared podcast in the days preceding the wedding.
Kerr and Jagger had worn matching outfits, and she was also seen handing her baby boy over to her dad so that she could recite her wedding vows.
Heartwarming photos emerged of Kerr during the big day stepping away from her guests to feed her baby boy.
The tuxedo-clad footballer was pictured carrying a baby bottle filled with milk for her seven-month-old son.
