- Matildas fans believe Sam Kerr is engaged to partner Kristie Mewis
- Kerr and Mewis are the power couple in women’s football
- Mewis was spotted wearing a ring during a promotional video
Football fans believe Sam Kerr is engaged after video emerged of her partner, American star Kristie Mewis, wearing an engagement ring.
The loved-up couple celebrated Kerr’s 30th birthday earlier this month after returning from a whirlwind Women’s World Cup in Australia, where Kerr led the Matildas to the semi-finals.
Mewis returned to the United States to join her club side, Gotham FC, while Kerr went to London to begin pre-season training with Chelsea.
However, it appears Kerr is in New York this week after sharing an image of a rainy skyline on Monday, before Gotham FC inadvertently opened a can of worms among fans on social media.
Mewis was featured in a promotional clip for the new EA FC 24 video game, where a shiny piece of jewelry turned heads when she heard her player’s rating in the game.

No official announcements have been made by Kerr or Mewis, but speculation is rife among fans about the couple’s relationship status.
“Not the ROCK,” one fan posted online.
Another said: ‘Omg is Kristie wearing an engagement ring?’
‘WHAT IS THAT ON YOUR HAND KRISTIE??’ said a third.
The couple met while both playing for rival clubs in the American League in 2019.
They spoke online for almost four months during the 2020 Covid lockdown before spending two weeks in quarantine together, where they quickly fell in love.
The pair continued their romance ahead of the 2021 Olympics, where – following the US’s semi-final defeat by Australia – they were photographed together.
Their on-field embrace made headlines as Kerr’s split with her former long-time partner – another American club player Nikki Stanton – had not yet become public.

Their international romance has since been extensively documented on social media, with both women amassing hundreds of thousands of followers.
‘We are not private people. I enjoy sharing my story. I like to share who I am outside of football. Football is five percent of my life,” Kerr told British publication Gaffer earlier this year.
Last month the couple traveled to Sydney while Kerr played with the Matildas in the FIFA Women’s World Cup.
In a twist, Kerr took on Kristie’s ex-girlfriend Rachel Daly, who played for England in the semi-final.
