Australian soccer stars Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis tied the knot in a gorgeous, star-studded wedding on Australia’s swan valley in Perth. The couple exchanged vows in front of approximately 120 guests at a private residence, marking a significant milestone in their relationship. They became engaged in late 2023. The ceremony was timed to coincide with the New Year, and they made sure everyone could celebrate together as the clock struck midnight.
The wedding showcased the couple’s personal style. Sam Kerr, 32, sported a minimalist black tuxedo. She finished off the look with a sharp white collared shirt and a black bowtie, and her hair was flawlessly slicked back into a low ponytail. Kristie Mewis, 34, looked fantastic in a white off-the-shoulder formal gown with elaborate bead-work. A dramatic, sequined overlay flowed steeply to the ground, giving everything a glamorous lift in the first major fashion moment of the night.
The pair initially connected during 2020 and went public with their romance in late 2021. Their friendship developed into a romantic relationship, culminating in their engagement and the birth of their son, Jagger, this past May. Mewis looked back on their friendship and soccer partnership fondly, saying,
“She’s my biggest supporter, always listening to me nag and complain, all of my crazy antics.” – Kristie Mewis
The pair each wrote their own vows for the ceremony, personalizing their commitment to one another even further. As Kristie Mewis revealed in a recent podcast appearance, the couple’s son Jagger has agreed to walk Sam down the aisle. This poignant and aesthetically glorious move emphasizes the family-centric quality of their marriage.
Sam Kerr just got back on the pitch after suffering a major knee injury. More importantly, she showed tremendous strength and poise in every facet of her life, from the pitch to the press. At the same time, Kristie Mewis has been cementing her position as one of the best players for the USA national team, with 53 appearances.
With that top draft pick status, Kerr and Mewis opened a thrilling new chapter of their professional lives together. Their wedding hadn’t merely united two people; it embodied their process of growing from friends to life partners and co-parents. The event itself was a powerful tribute to their commitment to each other and their children.
