Australian soccer icon Sam Kerr has tied the knot with fellow athlete Kristie Mewis in an intimate ceremony held in Western Australia.

The couple exchanged vows in Kerr’s birthplace of Perth on New Year’s Eve, concluding a monumental year during which they celebrated the birth of their first child, son Jagger, in May.

Mewis graced the aisle in a stunning white gown complemented by a long, flowing veil, as family and friends gathered to witness the occasion in the glow of the evening sun.

Kerr made her entrance in a sleek black tuxedo, notably carrying a baby bottle, adding a touch of charm to the affair.

In a touching moment, Jagger was escorted down the aisle by his Matildas star mother, a scene Mewis had previously anticipated would bring her to tears.

“It’s going to be incredibly emotional for me. I know I’ll be in tears when that happens,” Mewis shared in the days leading up to the event.

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.
