Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis announce they are expecting first child 🤰 | OneFootball

Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis have announced on social media that they are expecting their first child, due next year.

Chelsea striker Kerr and West Ham midfielder Mewis have been together since 2021 and got engaged last year.

Kerr is currently sidelined with a knee injury, which is expected to keep the Australia captain out of action until early 2025.

United States international Mewis joined West Ham in December 2023 on an 18-month contract, which is due to expire next summer.

Her time in east London has been disrupted by injury, with a tendon issue in March and a calf injury in October limiting her to just four appearances.

She has featured once in the Women’s Super League this season, making a substitute appearance in West Ham’s defeat to Manchester United on September 21.
