Australian soccer superstar Sam Kerr has revealed she’s welcomed her first baby with partner Kristie Mewis.

The Matildas star shared the news on Instagram, along with a gorgeous photo of the family of three. She captioned the image, “Our little man is here, Jagger Mewis-Kerr.”

The couple announced the pregnancy in November last year, sharing a series of snaps of the happy parents-to-be, with the caption, “Mewis-Kerr baby coming 2025!”

The 31-year-old has spent last year on the sidelines after injuring herself at training for her club team Chelsea in January 2024, which meant she missed Australia’s Olympics campaign.

Sam’s partner Kristie, 34, is also a professional soccer player, with the pair revealing their engagement late last year. They’ve been together since 2021.

  • Jagger is such a cute name! Congratulations to the couple! Any baby is a blessing and I’m sure he will be one very loved and happy little boy! I hope people don’t immediately assume he will want to be a soccer player because both his parents are. Hopefully he will be happy doing whatever he chooses

  • Congratulations to them both. I am sure this little fellow will have it in his genes to love Soccer. They look very happy together and I am sure he is adorable. Here’s hoping they can keep him out of the media attention to enjoy a happy childhood that’s normal and fun.

  • Congratulations to the happy couple and their new addition. I’m sure Jagger is going to be a wonderful little man and will have fun playing soccer with his 2 Mums. Children are a blessing and I’m sure he’ll be one little man who will be spoilt by all who see him.

  • Seeing comments full of outdated, hateful and downright disgusting opinions is shameful. And for it to be in the comments of this thread, holy moly. I think this behaviour s wonderful news, another loving and happy couple growing their family and giving lots of love to a much wanted and adored child. I wish people could reflect on what makes their life choices so much better than others, to the point of passing crude judgement.

  • The arrival of a new baby is always happy news and it is good to share it with the community. The photo is quite lovely and very relaxed and natural which is so refreshing. I prefer relaxed and relatable photos over posed and staged ones. They look very happy in the photos.

  • Congratulations to this couple. Glad to hear the pregnancy and delivery went well. The arrival of a baby is such an exciting time. Enjoy this time of bonding, connecting and love. I never saw either of the mums playing soccer, but when they are professional soccer players they must be pretty good and you’ll never know Jagger will find this passion too.

  • Congratulations on your news and maybe another little soccer superstar will be born. No pressure on the bub at all. So nice to see our greats procreating and looking forward to bringing up a healthy and happy baby in the near future. Hope everything goes well with no complications to speak of. Well done to the pair of them.

  • I have seen so many negative comments on social media in response to Sam and Kristie’s news. Some ignorant people say that they are ‘Shoving it in everyone’s faces’. Seriously! They posted it on their own social media profiles and it was the media who have spread the news. Kristie and Sam are just 2 people in love, who are bringing new life into this world. To all those who say that a baby always needs a a mother and a father, why? Yes it is better if a child has 2 parents, but does a child really care what genitals their parents have? Like having a mother and a father is a guarantee that a child will get all the influences they need. I’ve seen straight relationships where a mother is the furthest from maternal you could imagine and the father not paternal or involved. Yet for some reason, we don’t think that 2 women or 2 men could possibly be great parents. If you think about it, there are no accidental babies born to gay parents, everything is planned, every child is wanted and those families are worthy of respect.

  • Congratulations! I don’t understand the people who can’t just be happy for a new, wanted, loved baby to come into the world.


    • I agree; love is so precious and it is wonderful when people that love each other want to raise a child. Being a parent is such a special journey and it should indeed by embraced and celebrated by everyone. Surely everyone would be moved by the lovely photos and looks of pure joy.

  • They seem like a cute couple, but I don’t know about a same sex couple bringing up a baby. It’s not natural and it just creates more confusion for the child growing up. I know I’m probably a minority here, but it really is a strange world we are living in.

  • This is very exciting news and times ahead for this couple. Pregnancy news is always so welcome and such lovely news to hear. The photos of this couple are very earthy and natural and of course relatable. I really do like the back ground with the graffiti hearts; that is quite lovely.

  • That’s wonderful news for them. There are so many babies being conceived this year (or is it just that more people are sharing their joyous news). I’m so happy for them and wish them all the best for the future in parenthood as well as in their engagement and sports.
