Sam Kerr's fiancée Kristie Mewis looks strained as she steps out with Matildas superstar in Perth after getting some awful news
The new family of three, who recently returned from a beachside holiday in Spain, made a rare public appearance together in Kerr's home town on Sunday morning.
The sporting power couple, dressed casually with their two-month-old son in a carrier, enjoyed brunch with Kerr's parents before later catching up with Matildas star Emily van Egmond.
Kerr is back in Perth for the Matildas' matches in Western Australia, with their last outing against Panama coming on Tuesday.
The Matildas skipper is not part of the Aussie squad for the four friendlies as she continues to recover from the serious knee injury she sustained in January last year.
Last week, West Ham announced that Mewis's time with the club has come to an end.
The 34-year-old joined the Hammers in 2023, but only managed four appearances during her spell with the Women's Super League club.
She had just got back into training in preparation for a return to the field before the sad news about her career became public.
Club manager Rehanne Skinner said: 'On behalf of everyone at the Club, I would like to thank Kristie for her contributions to West Ham United during her time in east London.
'Kristie has been unlucky with injuries since she joined us so probably hasn't played in the famous Claret and Blue as many times as she would have liked, but it's still been a total pleasure having someone of her calibre and experience within our team environment.
'As Kristie starts to navigate her new norm of motherhood, we fully appreciate that her priorities have changed and so, whatever the future has in store for her and her family, I would like to wish them all the very best.'
Mewis confirmed the news later with a heartfelt message on Instagram, expressing gratitude to the Hammers for the support they provided.
'Even though my time at West Ham was not what I envisioned, I still learned so much and met so many amazing people,' she said.
'Everyone, but especially my teammates were incredibly supportive through my injury and pregnancy and I can't thank them enough for it. Nothing has been more important to me than football… but having my son has changed that.
Mewis (pictured left with Kerr and van Egmond) revealed her shock at her exit from West Ham, writing that her time with the club was 'not what I envisioned'
'Thank you @westhamwomen and thank you for helping me become a mom.'
Kerr and Mewis' relationship began around 2020, gaining public attention during the Tokyo Olympics in 2021 when they shared a heartfelt moment on the field.
They officially confirmed their relationship in August 2021 through an Instagram post.
In September 2023, they got engaged, announcing it publicly in November of the same year.
Their engagement was followed by the news in November 2024 that they were expecting their first child.
They are expected to marry in December this year.

Footy legend Gorden Tallis is slammed for comparing AFL great Adam Goodes to NRL star who put a little girl in hospital in drug-driving crash
Footy legend Gorden Tallis has been slammed by fans online after comparing scandal-hit NRL star Ezra Mam to Adam Goodes. In what one supporter labelled 'one of the worst takes', the Queensland cult hero likened the hostile treatment Mam has received in recent weeks to the ugly booing storm that saw Swans champion Adam Goodes walk away from his football career prematurely in 2015. Mam was taunted by fired-up Bulldogs fans last Friday at Accor Stadium - but he silenced the knockers to orchestrate a comeback 22-18 win for the Broncos. The 22-year-old has been targeted by away crowds after serving a nine-match suspension handed down by the NRL. It followed Mam pleading guilty to driving under the influence of illicit drugs without a licence following a car crash that injured three people - including a four-year-old girl - in October last year in Brisbane. Footy fans were seething when Mam was fined $850 and disqualified from driving for nine months by the Brisbane Magistrates Court. No conviction was recorded. While many believe Mam should have been suspended for the entire 2025 NRL season, Tallis has raised eyebrows after his extraordinary take on the pivot's return to the game. 'Ezra Mam is getting an Adam Goodes-style treatment,' Tallis said on Triple M's Sunday Sin Bin. 'No matter what ground he went at, Adam Goodes was targeted for a while and Ezra Mam is getting that now. 'It was coming loud and clear through the television the other night when he played the Dogs. It was every time he touched the ball.' Many footy fans were in disbelief after hearing Tallis's views. 'One of the worst takes you've ever seen,' posted one on X. 'Batsh*t from Gorden Tallis,' said another. 'Tallis is in fact, out of touch with reality,' a third commented. Another pointed out that there's a huge gulf between what Mam did and why Goodes was driven out of the game A third supporter felt Tallis was 'out of touch with reality' In 2015, Goodes famously performed his iconic Indigenous war dance in a match versus Carlton - and was then a constant crowd target at Swans' away games. Two years earlier, Goodes was targeted by a teenage Collingwood supporter who called him an ape - and chaos followed. As the saga intensified, Goodes - a two-time Brownlow Medallist and dual premiership winner - felt the game didn't support him. Goodes then retired in 2015, and has chosen to distance himself from the sport ever since. 'He's living his best life. We miss him, we love him and hopefully at some point we will get to see him again,' former teammate and Swans board member Michael O'Loughlin said recently. 'He loved the game... Adam should have walked out a hero and the fact he didn't is a real indictment on us.'

EXCLUSIVE Annie Knight and her adult co-star Bonnie Blue locked in nasty feud and vow never to work together again after shocking spray: 'Ultimate betrayal'
Annie Knight and her former co-star Bonnie Blue are locked in a nasty feud after the UK adult content creator blasted the Aussie star in a shocking spray that left her 'blindsided'. The English sex worker, 26, was recently banned from OnlyFans for attempting to upload video footage of an extreme challenge she performed earlier this year. Bonnie was left fuming over the ban, and has since slammed Annie, 27, for not getting booted from the platform for a similar stunt. Now, Annie has hit back and has vowed to never work with her again. 'I was completely blindsided. The week prior I had messaged Bonnie with some advice that I'd heard about Instagram, as we often gave each other advice and tried to help each other out,' she told Daily Mail Australia. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, . 'A few days later, I went on Instagram and saw her slamming me in a video clip.' 'It was especially hurtful because it was in reference to my ongoing health issues, which she had been privy to and seen me cry about for months on my close friends story,' she continued. The 'health issues' Annie referenced was her recent visit to hospital due to a flare up from her endometriosis following a challenge which saw her sleep with 583 men in six hours. Annie went on to say she reached out to Bonnie after seeing the clips, which she considered a 'betrayal' to their friendship. 'I did reach out to Bonnie after I saw the video clips, and was not met with an apology or a valid explanation for someone who I considered a good friend,' she said. 'And then since I had messaged her, I continued to see more and more statements from her trying to tear down my career essentially which was incredibly shocking and hurtful. 'That is something I would never consider doing to anyone especially not someone who had been so supportive, as I had been of her.' Annie and Bonnie made headlines last year when they filmed X-rated content together in Fiji during Schoolies Week. Since then, Annie revealed they have kept in touch and even planned to work together again early next year—making Bonnie's recent comments about her even more shocking. 'I don't think there is anything I could hear that would fix [the friendship] at this point. It's a betrayal. I can't look past or move on from [it],' Annie said. 'The comments insinuating that she was the first person to do challenges were especially hurtful as she knows that the challenges originated from my content back in 2023 and I never ever publicly (or privately for that fact) mentioned that she had copied me. 'I chose to support her and help her. So to see her telling the world that I copied her was so confusing and I felt like she was trying to rob me of my success.' Annie went on to say she and Bonnie are officially done, adding she can't 'see herself working with her in the future'. 'I never would wish ill upon anyone so I truly wish Bonnie nothing but the best,' she said. 'I hope she can realise that she lost a good friend and someone that supported her, as there aren't many.' Bonnie kicked off the feud between her and Annie last week during an interview with Daily Star, in which she lashed out at OnlyFans for banning her over a 'breach of Terms and Service'. The UK content creator claimed she was 'singled out' because the company became 'scared' over the dozens of controversial headlines Bonnie has generated. Her ban from the site appeared to first be linked to an extreme stunt which saw Bonnie sleep with over 1,000 men in 24 hours. 'Extreme challenge content is not available on OnlyFans and is not permitted under our Acceptable Use Policy and Terms of Service,' an OnlyFans spokesperson said. 'Any breach of our Terms of Service results in content or account deactivation.' However, Bonnie did not accept this explanation as reasonable and went on to point '10 creators' who upload similar content and have not been banned. 'I have sent an email from my lawyer to OF and highlighted over 10 creators breaking their rules,' she said. 'One recently said she'd slept with 583 people in six hours and then vlogged her whole hospital journey saying she's been left with internal bleeding. 'But it's still on the platform and OF has since put her on the home page. It just shows how much I was singled out.' Annie made headlines in May when she was admitted to hospital following her 583 man challenge. She shared a video from her hospital bed after rushing in to be treated for cramps and excessive bleeding just days after taking part in the extreme video. She said the issue stems from her pre-existing endometriosis, which she said had been triggered by stress. 'On Sunday everything was all good, but the next day I had a lot of bleeding that I shouldn't really have because I'm on contraception and I was a little bit worried about it but decided I would wait it out and see how it goes,' she told Perth Now. 'Then it turned into really bad cramps and pains, then I started to get a bit worried and decided to take myself to hospital.' She added her doctors were at first concerned the bleeding and pain was a result of her intense challenge, but later ruled it out. 'We ran a bunch of tests all day, then eventually it was my endometriosis had been exasperated by mostly stress and not so much the physical challenge that I did on Sunday,' she said. Endometriosis occurs when cells in the lining of the uterus are found elsewhere in the body. Each month, these cells react in the same way as those in the uterus; building up, breaking down and bleeding. Yet, the blood has no way to escape the body. Symptoms include pain, heavy periods and fatigue, as well as a higher risk of infertility, and bowel and bladder problems. Its cause is unknown but may be genetic, related to problems with the immune system or exposure to chemicals. Treatment focuses on pain relief and improving quality of life, which may include surgery or hormone treatment.

What are The Janoskians doing today? Viral TikTok with over 1million views shows girl finding brothers on dating app
Aussie teens from the 2010s will no doubt remember Aussie boy band and comedy group The Janoskians. Elder brother Beau Brooks, twins Luke and Jai Brooks, and friends Daniel Sahyounie and James Yammouni went viral back in 2011 for their hilarious YouTube videos, pranks on Melbourne locals and each other, mockumentaries and skits, and, of course, their pop music releases, such as Set This World on Fire and Best Friends. Despite boasting 2.6million followers on YouTube, the boys went silent on the video-sharing platform in 2018, with Jai Brooks confirming two years later that they had called it quits. But over five years later, what are the famous brothers up to now? One die-hard Janoskians fan found out, taking to TikTok to reveal that she had come across the once-famous brothers on various dating apps. From A-list scandals and red carpet mishaps to exclusive pictures and viral moments, subscribe to the DailyMail's new showbiz newsletter to stay in the loop. 'When you were once a massive fan girl of the Janoskians and paid them to just acknowledge your existence for 7 seconds,' TikTok user Stephanie captioned the now-viral clip, which has amassed 1 million views. She added: 'Forward 10+ years later and are now matching with them on dating apps.' The social media user went on to share screenshots of the former stars' dating profiles. Beau, 31, who is now a warehouse worker at Amazon, was found on Bumble by the TikTok user. The former star's bio read: 'Looking for a woman [who] serves God first and is seeking something long term and serious to get married.' She also matched with Jai Brooks, 30, on Hinge, who posed in a singlet that showed off his buff biceps while standing next to a self-made tiger painting in one photo from his dating profile. 'My self-care routine is: Gym and sports,' he shared as one of his prompts. James, 29, was also on Bumble and said that he was looking for a life partner as one of his prompts. Fans of the boy group flooded Stephanie's comments section, gushing over their love for the iconic boy group and reminiscing over their peak fame. 'Nah if I matched with jai brooks im keeping that offline and locking in,' one person wrote. 'Living for this. my janoskians era feels like a fever dream,' another penned. One person added: 'Seeing ariana grandes ex bf on hinge is insane,' alluding to Jai Brooks, who dated the popstar briefly in 2012. 'Shoot for the stars baby girl, living the Janoskians fangirl dream,' another wrote. Another chimed in: 'People will never understand the 2012/2013 janoskians era.' Even Jai Brooks himself commented on the post, writing: 'Oh ffs Beau I was there first', to which Stephanie replied: 'Double date?' Beau, Luke, Jai, Daniel and James formed the comedy group in 2011 and rose to fame on social media with their gross-out humour and prank videos. The group, who hailed from Melbourne, came up with the name by creating an acronym for 'Just Another Name of Silly Kids in Another Nation'. In addition to having their own MTV series and Netflix movie, the boys also toured as a band and at one point sold out London's Wembley Arena. Making names for themselves globally, the boys appeared on The Ellen DeGeneres Show and even dated Hollywood A-listers. However, their popularity eventually declined and the group stopped updating their main channel in 2018, before confirming in 2020 that The Janoskians had broken up.
