What was already one of the most beloved love stories in women’s football just became even more emotional.
As wedding plans quietly take shape, Kristie Mewis and Sam Kerr have revealed a detail that has melted hearts across the football world: their baby son, Jagger Mewis-Kerr, born in May 2025, will be part of the ceremony in the most tender way imaginable.
Rather than assigning him a formal role, the couple chose something far more intimate — and far more powerful.
“I feel like he’s a little bit too young to have an actual role,” Mewis shared on her podcast.
“Sam is going to walk with him down the aisle, which is very, very, very sweet.”
For Mewis, just imagining the moment is almost too much to bear.
“That’s going to be gut-wrenching for me,” she admitted.
“I’ll sob when that happens.”
A Moment Bigger Than Football
Fans know Kerr and Mewis as fierce competitors — leaders for club and country, icons for Chelsea, the Lionesses, Australia, and the USWNT. But this moment strips everything back to something simpler and deeper: family.
The image is already vivid. Kerr, one of the most electric strikers of her generation, walking slowly down the aisle — not to score, not to celebrate — but to carry their future forward, hand in hand with their son.
“He’s going to be probably in a little matching outfit with her,” Mewis added, laughing through emotion.
“It’s just going to be absolutely adorable.”
Why Fans Are So Emotional
This isn’t just a wedding detail. It’s a symbol.
For many supporters, Kerr and Mewis represent visibility, authenticity, and the freedom to love openly in a sport that hasn’t always made space for that. Including Jagger in such a central, loving way turns their ceremony into something bigger than tradition — it becomes a statement of joy, family, and belonging.
Social media has already erupted with reactions:
- “I’m crying and the wedding hasn’t even happened yet.”
- “This is the softest thing I’ve ever heard.”
- “From goals to vows — Sam Kerr keeps delivering.”
A New Chapter Begins
While details of the wedding remain private, this glimpse into their plans has made one thing clear: the ceremony won’t just mark a marriage, but the celebration of a family already formed.
In a world obsessed with trophies and titles, Kerr and Mewis are reminding everyone that some victories don’t happen on the pitch — they happen walking down an aisle, with a baby in your arms and a future waiting at the end.
And yes — fans everywhere will be sobbing right along with Kristie. 💙
