Australian football legend Sam Kerr has wed fellow sports star Kristie Mewis in a private ceremony in Western Australia.
They exchanged vows in Kerr’s hometown of Perth on New Year’s Eve, capping off a gigantic year for the pair who welcomed their first child, son Jagger, in May.
Mewis walked down the aisle dressed in white, with a long-flowing veil, as guests watched in the evening sun.
Kerr, in a black tuxedo, was seen arriving at the ceremony with a baby bottle in hand.
Jagger was carried down the aisle by his Matildas mum, something Mewis admitted ahead of the event would leave her in tears.
“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.
