Aussie football megastar Sam Kerr has tied the knot with long-time partner and fellow footballer Kristie Mewis in a private ceremony in Perth. <\/p>\n
The power couple exchanged vows in Kerr\u2019s hometown, in the Swan Valley Region on New Year\u2019s Eve. <\/p>\n
It marks the end of a massive year for the pair who welcomed their first son Jagger in May. <\/p>\n
Mewis walked down the aisle dressed in an elegant white dress with a long-flowing veil. <\/p>\n
Kerr was dressed in a black tuxedo, seen arriving at the ceremony with a baby bottle in hand. <\/p>\n
Jagger was carried down the aisle by Kerr, leaving Mewis in tears. <\/p>\n
\u201cThat\u2019s going to be gut-wrenching for me. I will sob when that happens,\u201d Mewis said in the lead up to the wedding. <\/p>\n
The wedding was attended by around 120 guests at a private ceremony in the Swan Valley, north east of Perth. <\/p>\n
Kerr, 30, and Mewis, 33, became engaged in 2021 and welcomed their son in May 2024.<\/p>\n
The relationship began publicly in 2020 after they met through international football commitments, with Kerr an international superstar representing Australia\u2019s Matildas and Mewis an international star for Team USA.<\/p>\n
Mewis confirmed some wedding details on her podcast Mewis Squared, revealing more than 100 people would attend, including teammates from both the Matildas and the United States national team.<\/p>\n
\u201cTalking to 120 people in one night is a lot,\u201d Mewis said. \u201cI\u2019m stressing about not being able to give enough time to everyone.\u201d<\/p>\n
Mewis confirmed there would be no extended honeymoon due to club football commitments with Kerr\u2019s Chelsea team playing their next fixture on January 11 against West Ham United.<\/p>\n
Kerr debuted for the Matildas at just 15 and has since become Australia\u2019s all-time leading goal scorer across men\u2019s and women\u2019s internationals.<\/p>\n
Her record currently stands at 69 goals from over 120 appearances. She is a four-time Golden Boot winner in the NWSL and has scored more than 60 goals for Chelsea since joining the club in 2020.<\/p>\n
Mewis meanwhile has played more than 50 times for the United States and was part of the squad that won bronze at the Tokyo Olympics.<\/p>\n
At club level she has represented the Houston Dash and Gotham FC in the National Women\u2019s Soccer League and signed with West Ham United in 2023.<\/p>\n
She announced earlier in 2025 that she would depart the club at the conclusion of her contract.<\/p>\n
