Sam Kerr's fiancée Kristie Mewis looks strained as she steps out with Matildas superstar in Perth after getting some awful news
Football star Kristie Mewis wore a strained expression while stepping out in Perth with fiancée Sam Kerr and new son Jagger, just days after confirming her shock departure from West Ham. 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.

Interim coach says Montemurro will take Matildas to new heights
Tom Sermanni thought that he was bequeathing Joe Montemurro a squad of players that, when fully fit, would be competitive with any side in the world. (EPA Images pic) SYDNEY : Caretaker coach Tom Sermanni, who signed off his third spell in charge of the Matildas with a 4-1 win over Argentina yesterday, is convinced his replacement Joe Montemurro will take the team to new heights. The 70-year-old Scot, who first took charge of the Australia women's national team in 1994 before they had the nickname by which they are now known around the world, guided the side for the 151st time hours after Montemurro's appointment. 'His coaching record is second to none, he is a proud Australian, I think he will take this team to a new level,' Sermanni told broadcaster Paramount before the match in Canberra. Two goals from Amy Sayer and later strikes from Emily Van Egmond and substitute Michelle Heyman gave Australia a second win over Argentina in the space of four days to send Sermanni off in style. The Matildas were roared on by a sellout crowd of 25,125 at Canberra Stadium, a familiar sight over the last few years as the team has grown hugely in popularity. 'The thing that stood out to me is every time we've played a game at home, and I've walked out onto the field and just looked at the crowd, it's just been phenomenal experience,' the former coach of the US women's team told reporters. 'I've never witnessed a crowd that such as the Matildas crowd. With the Matildas, it's just unique. And I kind of pinch myself when I go out and stand in front of it before the game starts,' he said. Sermanni thought that he was bequeathing Montemurro a squad of players that, when fully fit, would be competitive with any side in the world. 'People forget we were (very) close to getting the silver at the last World Cup and the Olympics before the last one,' he said. 'So the team is close. The experienced players are still very influential … and we've got some good young players coming through,' he added. Chief among the injury concerns is Sam Kerr, who has not played for her country or club Chelsea since she suffered an ACL injury in January 2024. Montemurro told local media earlier yesterday that he had been informed on taking the job that Kerr had needed another medical 'intervention' for an issue not related to her knee injury, but was now back up and running.

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. 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.
