Matildas star striker, Sam Kerr, and her fiancée Kristie Mewis, have confirmed that they have welcomed their first child together into the world.
The couple made the exciting announcement in a joint post on Instagram on May 8, 2025.

In true Matildas style, her teammates have also rallied around them, sharing their excitement.
The Matildas Instagram page even jumped on board and made a post with the caption: “Welcome to the Tillies fam, Jagger! ??Congratulations to mums Sam and Kristie on the arrival of their beautiful baby boy!”
It follows a joint Instagram post they made on November 18, 2024, when they stunned their followers with the news that they were expecting their first child together.
With thousands of comments and more than 350,00 likes attained in less than 24 hours of posting, it’s clear the entire world is just as thrilled for the couple as they are for each other!
In a black and white photo montage taken from inside a photo booth, the couple is seen kissing and smiling, showing off an ultrasound of their growing baby, as well as Kristie’s rapidly expanding tummy.
They captioned the post with “Mewis-Kerr baby coming 2025.”
Countless teammates for both women were quick to jump into the comments section to congratulate the soon-to-be first-time mothers, with the Matildas even taking to their official social media channels to share their excitement.
“Adding another member to the Tillies fam

This heartwarming life update comes a year after Sam and Kristie revealed they had been engaged since September 1, after Sam dropped down on one knee.
After being in a long-distance relationship for several years, in late 2023, Kristie joined her future wife in the United Kingdom when she was signed by West Ham Football Club.
Despite her ongoing recovery from a debilitating ACL injury, Sam is currently signed to Chelsea Football Club, also in the Women’s Super League.
