Chelsea stars Jess Carter and Ann-Katrin Berger get engaged, share posts on social media

Ann-Katrin Berger and Jess Carter recently helped Chelsea seal the Women's Super League trophy.

The announcement follows Emma Hayes's departure from the Blues to manage the US women's national team.

Ann-Katrin Berger and Jess Carter confirmed their engagement on Sunday evening and shared a romantic post on social media.

According to the Daily Mail, the pair posted a selfie of themselves together on X, captioning the image with the words, "7 years down, forever to go." 

Carter and Ann-Katrin Berger first connected in 2016 while both were on the Birmingham City team. Three years later, they were back together at Chelsea, where their romance started.

Since the two started dating, the German custodian has also battled two episodes of thyroid cancer, which she miraculously recovered from to play for Chelsea just one month after declaring her disease had returned in 2022.

In women's football, romances between players are not uncommon. Notable examples of such partnerships are Vivianne Miedema and Beth Mead of Arsenal, and Chelsea's Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis of West Ham.
