Kerr, 31, and Mewis, 34, first made headlines in 2021 when Mewis was seen consoling Kerr on the pitch after Australia’s heartbreaking 4–3 loss to the USA at the Tokyo Olympics.
What began with a post-match hug has since blossomed into one of football’s most followed love stories.
The couple met shortly after Kerr’s move to London in 2019, during lockdown, with Kerr revealing during her recent court case that Mewis had boldly “slid into her DMs,” per Daily Mail.

The two began dating shortly thereafter and confirmed their engagement in 2023.
During her high-profile legal proceedings earlier this year, where Kerr was cleared of racially aggravated harassment, the Australian star revealed under oath that she and Mewis were expecting a baby boy.
