Australia and Chelsea forward Sam Kerr and United States international midfielder Kristie Mewis are set to become parents, with the pair sharing that West Ham's Mewis is pregnant in a heart-warming Instagram post.

The pair posted a collage of black-and-white photos, holding up an image of the ultrasound scan and pointing to Mewis' bump. "Mewis-Kerr baby coming 2025!" the post read.

The pair have been together since 2021 and got engaged last year.

Prolific goalscorer Kerr missed the entire 2024 calendar year after suffering an anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in January during a preseason training camp in Morocco. In June, she signed a contract extension with Chelsea through to 2026.

Kerr registered 99 goals in 128 matches before her injury. She is also Australia's all-time top scorer with 69 goals.

Mewis left NY/NJ Gotham FC after winning the NWSL Championship last season to join West Ham in January 2024. However, the 33-year-old has suffered a string of minor injuries and illnesses, resulting in only three appearances last term.

Mewis was subbed on during West Ham's opening game against Manchester United but failed to appear on a team sheet since.

Fans had speculated whether the USWNT midfielder was preparing for retirement after being absent from training photos before her pregnancy was confirmed.
