Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis photos emerge amid sad Matildas news

Sam Kerr and fiance Kristie Mewis have been snapped looking over the construction of their future oceanfront home in North Coogee, Perth. The happy couple purchased the 200-square-metre piece of land back in August 2023 for an eye-watering $940,000. As Kerr, 31, made her way around the construction site, Mewis, 34, was seen holding a paint colour swatch with the words 'Snowy Mountains' written on it. The dream home which is set to be three levels when completed, is just up the road from Kerr's childhood home that was in Kardinya. While the images of the happy couple's visit to the site of their forever home are heartwarming, they paint a sad truth for the future of Australia's greatest soccer player. Kerr has been sidelined for more than 18 months after suffering an ACL injury during a training camp with Chelsea in early January, 2024. She suffered a setback on her road to recovery after having to undergo more surgery. In promising news however the operation wasn't related to the torn ACL. Her extended stint on the sidelines however has cruelled her time with WSL side Chelsea with her contract set to expire in June, 2026. The injury delay also means sad news for the Matildas and fans of the game with Kerr's prime arguably now in the rearview mirror. Australia's all-time leading international goal scorer has done almost everything the game has to offer, even becoming the first ever female footballer to grace the cover of a FIFA video game. But after almost two years since she last pulled on the boots, any hopes of her returning to her world-beating best may now be a thing of the past. With her contract at Chelsea set to expire in less than a year and a timetable on her return still up in the air, Kerr could potentially stick around and play in Australia. A move that could be followed by Mewis after she was let go by West Ham United in early July after two years at the English club. '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 'Thank you @westhamwomen and thank you for helping me become a mom.' The couple who welcomed their first child in May and now with their dream home nearing completion, it wouldn't be at all surprising to see the duo stick around in Australia for the foreseeable future.

Jon Bon Jovi refuses to sell his $43M estate in blow to plans for mysterious 'fortress' near Mar-a-Lago

Plans to create a massive oceanfront fortress in one of Palm Beach's most sought-after areas are in jeopardy after Jon Bon Jovi refused to sell his $43 million mansion. The rock star's home stands next to a 2.3-acre lot that a mysterious buyer has already purchased in an attempt to combine the land into a single development. It's no wonder that the Living on a Prayer rocker wants to hold on to his luxurious home. The property has seven bedrooms and 12 bathrooms. It boasts a private gym, two elevators, a climate-controlled wine cellar and a beachfront cabana. A massive master bedroom and bathroom overlook the ocean. A kitchen renovation in 2018 cost more than $1 million. The 63-year-old singer purchased the property in July 2020 and has spent most of his winters at the oceanfront oasis. Now his sanctuary is in jeopardy after the loaded investor bought adjacent real estate holdings, which sit only minutes away from President Donald Trump 's Mar-a-Lago resort. Several properties surrounding Bon Jovi's home have been purchased by two Delaware-based corporations: Creekshore LLC and Mango Leaf LLC. Corporations in Delaware offer a high degree of privacy by not requiring the disclosure of members' or managers' names in public filings. In 2023, the buyer nabbed a $178 million piece of prime oceanfront property that was purchased from William Lauder, the air to the Estee Lauder fortune. According to the Wall Street Journal the LLCs have spent almost $250 million so far — and show no signs of slowing down. The Palm Beach County Property Appraiser's Office told the Daily Mail that many multimillion dollar homes in the area are owned by LLCs that manage the properties. While the property is just north of the president's resort it is unclear if the buyer — or group of buyers — have any connection to him or his family. The Daily Mail's attempts to reach the registered agent of the LLCs have gone unanswered. 'I can't tell you who owns the LLCs or who's behind the purchase of the properties,' a representative of the Property Appraiser's Office said. 'Because I don't know. No one in our office knows. These rich people like to operate in total secrecy. They don't like us average schmoes to know what they are up to.'
