Inside Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis’ Whirlwind Year of Milestones

EXCLUSIVE : It has been a year of “long-overdue” celebrations for Australia’s golden girl of football, Sam Kerr. Between a Mediterranean-style wedding in Western Australia and the arrival of her first child, the Chelsea star’s personal life has reached new heights.

Jagger is a very happy baby the Matildas star says.

On December 31, Kerr and her long-term partner Kristie Mewis officially tied the knot in Kerr’s hometown of Perth. The ceremony, held at the stunning Villa Dionysus, was a private affair attended by close friends and family.

Taking to Instagram to share the news with millions of fans, Kerr simply captioned the photos “Wifey.” Speaking to nine.com.au, she reflected on the nuptials, stating, “It’s been a long time coming.”

Kerr is celebrating her first campaign with son Jagger, the pair posing for Bonds.

The wedding followed the couple’s biggest milestone to date: the birth of their son, Jagger, in May 2025. The arrival of Jagger has been a transformative experience for the couple, who are currently based in the UK for their respective club commitments.

Despite their status as a global sporting “power couple,” Kerr and Mewis have worked to keep Jagger’s upbringing relatively private, only recently stepping into the spotlight together for a major Bonds commercial campaign.

Kerr noted that while she is immensely proud of her son, she is equally proud of how Mewis has handled the transition. “I didn’t think I could love her more, but she’s been so amazing,” Kerr said of her wife.

As Kerr prepares for the next chapter of her career with Chelsea and the Matildas, she does so with a new title that outweighs all others: Mum.
