Renowned Australian footballer Sam Kerr has tied the knot with her partner, fellow athlete Kristie Mewis, in an intimate ceremony in Western Australia.

The couple exchanged vows on New Year’s Eve in Sam Kerr’s hometown of Perth, marking the end of a remarkable year for them both. Earlier in May, they celebrated the birth of their first child, a son named Jagger.

During the ceremony, Kristie Mewis made her entrance in a stunning white gown complete with a flowing veil, while guests enjoyed the picturesque setting under the evening sun.

Sam Kerr, sporting a classic black tuxedo, was seen arriving at the event, notably carrying a baby bottle, a nod to her new role as a parent.

Their son Jagger was tenderly carried down the aisle by his mother, Kerr, a moment that Mewis had previously confessed would be an emotional highlight for her.

“That’s going to be gut-wrenching for me. I will sob when that happens,” Mewis said days ago.

The wedding was held at a private home with about 120 guests.

The Australian icon and US footballer began dating in 2021, revealing their relationship publicly during the Tokyo Olympics, when Mewis comforted Kerr on the field.

They got engaged in 2023 after weeks of speculation.

They jointly announced the news on Instagram, with photos of Kerr down on one knee and the simple caption: “September 1st, 2023”.

The pair welcomed Jagger Mewis-Kerr in May, telling fans via Instagram, “Our little man is here”.

In the day before their nuptials, Mewis did most of the social media sharing. The day before the wedding she posted a series of photos of her and Kerr in white outfits perfect for a wedding, with the caption “tomorrow” and emojis of a smiling face with tears in its eyes and a red love heart.

Kerr shared a photo of the couple in the gym the day before the big day, the Australian sporting icon quipping: “Last day I ever have to hear about the wedding shred.”

The couple are expected to delay their honeymoon due to football commitments.

The post-wedding holiday may involve the men’s World Cup, Mewis has said previously.
