Sam Kerr spotted in Perth with fiancée and baby Jagger
The 31-year-old was spotted enjoying a relaxed brunch with her parents on Sunday morning, with Mewis pictured holding their two-month-old in a carrier.
The pair later caught up with Kerr's teammate Emily Van Egmond before hitting the shops, buying nappies and baby wipes.
Kerr is back in her hometown for the Matildas' whirlwind stint in Western Australia, with their final match against Panama at HBF Park on Tuesday.
The Matildas captain is not part of the 33-player squad for the four frendlies as she continues her recovery from an anterior cruciate ligament injury she sustained more than 18 months ago.
Even without gracing the pitch, Kerr sent her hometown fans into raptures when she stepped out to sign autographs in Perth before the Matildas faced Slovenia late last month.

She worked her way the length of the pitch, stopping for selfies and responding to squeaked requests from fans as her entourage ensured everyone got their moment with the beloved star.
Stepping out on Sunday was the first time she had been pictured since.
Kerr and Mewis began their relationship around 2020 before confirming they were a couple on social media in August 2021.

Kerr announced the arrival of Jagger Mewis-Kerr in May, writing 'Our little man is here' alongside a picture of the family-of-three.
The proud mums have both shared pictures of the newborn on social media, including one that featured him in onesie with a Vegemite print on it.

Matildas vs Panama LIVE updates: Grant's stoppage time winner seals 3-2 win for Australia
Latest posts Charli Grant has saved the Matildas from further embarrassment, the defender bundling in a stoppage-time goal to lift Australia to a 3-2 victory over Panama at HBF Park in Perth. World No.56 Panama stunned the Matildas 1-0 in Bunbury on Saturday and threatened another boilover on Tuesday night when an Ericka Arauz wonder strike gave the visitors a 1-0 lead in the 34th minute. Veteran striker Michelle Heyman struck in the 54th and 65th minutes to give the Matildas a 2-1 lead, but the 10,659 crowd were left stunned when Panama's Lineth Cedeno scored in the 83rd minute to level the scores. Enter Grant. The 23-year-old Tottenham fullback had huffed and puffed all night long and received her due reward in the 91st minute when she wrestled to get in front of her opponent at the far post so she could knock in Courtney Nevin's cross. Although the win was a good way to end the Matildas' four-match stint in WA under new coach Joe Montemurro, there's still plenty of work to do. Australia only have two more international windows to prepare ahead of the 2026 Asian Cup, which kicks off in Perth on March 1. Montemurro made eight changes to his starting line-up for Tuesday night's game, inserting players including Grant, Heyman, Clare Hunt, Remy Siemsen and Emily van Egmond into the XI. Australia enjoyed 69 per cent possession in the first half but the focus of keeping the ball as much as possible rather than going long when under pressure brought about their undoing at times. The most costly moment came in the 34th minute when Jessika Nash passed sideways while under pressure with Panama players lurking. Arauz ensured the ball didn't make it to Emily Van Egmond, bouncing off her opponent and unleashing a 24-yard strike that curled into the net and sent the Panama players into a frenzy. The Matildas had just two shots on target in the first half. Their best chance arrived in the 24th minute when Hayley Raso embarked on a long run before getting off a shot while falling to the turf. The ball bounced off the inside of the far post and rolled tantalisingly across the face of goal before being momentarily cleared, with Siemsen's follow-up shot well saved by the goalkeeper. Australia levelled in the 54th minute when an inch-perfect cross from Raso found a running Heyman, who had an easy tap-in from point-blank range. It was another Raso cross that set up Heyman for her second, with the 37-year-old heading home to send the crowd into raptures. But the Matildas' frail defence was left wanting in the 83rd minute when a turnover allowed Cedeno to cruise into the box and fire past goalkeeper Chloe Lincoln. Grant ensured the Matildas had the last laugh, but the win was far from convincing. yesterday 10.27pm Joe Montemurro: 'The first half… I wasn't happy' The Matildas coach has just given some frank views about this game on Paramount +, so here's a little taste of that: I must admit, I didn't expect the errors, I didn't expect the lack of continuity, I didn't expect even just us as a group and to be brave and fight. The first half, I wasn't happy. I wasn't happy. There was a 25 minute period in the second half where we started to find our distances, we were smarter, but still the football smarts weren't there. We copped a goal with a square ball in the first half, and then we were down to 10 men nobody took control of the situation. They're things we just can't do.

We have more work to do: Matildas get wake-up call
Matildas coach Joe Montemurro is confident he will have his side fit and firing in time for the 2026 Asian Cup despite overseeing a series of unconvincing results in his first camp in charge. Australia were lucky to escape with an error-riddled 3-0 win over world No.38 Slovenia in Montemurro's first game at the helm, and it was followed up by a 1-1 draw against the same opponents. Alarm bells were ringing when the Matildas slumped to a shock 1-0 loss to world No.56 Panama last week, and Australia were 1-0 down in Tuesday night's re-match before a Michelle Heyman brace and Charli Grant's 91st-minute goal rescued a 3-2 win. In fairness, Montemurro was missing a huge chunk of the Matildas' best XI during the four-match stint in WA, with the likes of Sam Kerr, Mary Fowler, Steph Catley, Caitlin Foord, Katrina Gorry, Cortnee Vine and Clare Wheeler among the absentees. Other key players such as goalkeeper Mackenzie Arnold, Ellie Carpenter, Alanna Kennedy and Kyra Cooney-Cross left after the Slovenia series. The Matildas have two more international windows before the Asian Cup kicks off in Perth on March 1. Montemurro's possession-based style comes with teething problems, but the former Arsenal, Juventus and Lyon coach is adamant his team will be ready for the Asian Cup. "I've had less time to prepare teams for big tournaments," Montemurro said. "The good thing about it, we're going to have a lot of players who are in season (for the next window), so they're going to be at least physically - and from a rhythm perspective - in tune. "That was the biggest thing over the last 20 days - you saw the players, the rhythms were up, down, everywhere. "All of them had to be managed physically. "We won't have that problem (next time). So at least we can go forward with players that are ready to go." Montemurro is keen to base the Matildas in Europe for the next international window (October 20-29) before having a home base for the final international window (November 24-December 2) ahead of the Asian Cup. "Today I was a little bit disappointed, because there were things I thought we got rid of over the last three games," Montemurro said. "Obviously we've got some more work to do. "We fell into the trap of wanting to rush the play when we needed to slow it down, and we fell into the trap of slowing it down when we needed to go quick. "That caused a lot of technical errors, because people weren't in position at the right time. "And every time we turned the ball over, Panama looked like they were going to hurt us."
