Sam Kerr, Kirsty Mewis, news kicks off Matildas baby boom

Matildas super striker Sam Kerr and her finance Kristie Mewis have become mums just in time for Mother’s Day, kicking off a Matildas baby boom.

Sam Kerr and her partner Kristie Mewis have announced the birth of their son Jagger Mewis-Kerr to Instagram. "Our little man is here, Jagger Mewis-Kerr 💙"

Matildas super striker Sam Kerr and her finance Kristie Mewis have become mums just in time for Mother’s Day.

They announced the arrival of their little boy Jagger Mewis-Kristie over social media late on Thursday night.

The news was met with plenty of love from her teammates, and attracted 103,000 likes in the first hour.

It has been a roller coaster of a year for the pair since announcing their exciting news with Kerr out injured with an ACL and also fronting a London court in a very public trial before being found not guilty.

Kerr is the first of three Matildas’ expecting bundles of joy this year.

Emily van Egmond and wife Kat Thompson announced their first child is new in October.

Tameka Yallop’s wife Kirsty are expecting their second child later this year as well.

Midfielder Katrina Gorry and her partner Christine Markstedt also have two children.

With Kerr still not back to full fitness it remains to be seen when she will be back in a Matildas jersey.

She is very unlikely to be named in the squad for the games at the end of May against Argentina.

The next window, likely under new coach Joe Montemurro will be in July.
