Proud fiancee! Injured Chelsea star Sam Kerr watches partner and USWNT midfielder Kristie Mewis bag assist on West Ham debut

Sam Kerr, who is currently out of action with an ACL injury, attended West Ham United's Women's Super League clash against Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday at Victoria Road to watch her fiancee Kristie Mewis make her debut for the Hammers. The United States women's national team star provided an assist in her maiden game, although her team went down 3-4 against the Lilywhites.

After winning the NWSL 2023 title with Gotham FC, Mewis left the American club to join the WSL side last month. The 32-year-old was introduced in the 62nd minute of the match when she replaced Honoka Hayashi. Eight minutes later, from her perfectly weighted free-kick, Amber Tysiak scored the team's third goal to restore parity in the match. Jessica Naz, though later scored a fourth goal to seal three points for Spurs.

Mewis and Kerr have been engaged since November 2023 after being in a relationship for the past two years. The American player's switch to the London club now puts her in the same city as her fiancee.

The former Kansas City star will be next seen in action on Wednesday as her club face Birmingham City in an FA Women's League Cup group stage clash.
