Sam Kerr rips into fiancée and USWNT star Kristie Mewis for conceding goals as power couple reveal relationship 'drives' them to improve on the pitch

Right after the 2022/23 season ended, the Chelsea and Australia star visited the US to meet then-girlfriend Kristie Mewis. Kerr jokingly took a dig at her partner as Gotham FC conceded too many goals during the 2022 NWSL season. The couple also shared how their relationship is a source of strength for both of them off the pitch.

In the Netflix documentary 'Under Pressure' Kerr told the camera, "We're both so supportive of each other but also so hard on each other."

She then looked at Mewis and continued, "'Do you know you guys have conceded eight goals this year, four off-set pieces? Corners to be exact. That's horrific. Do you not work on it? You were front post, if you'd jumped higher it wouldn't have got to the middle of the goal."

On having a relationship with a fellow soccer star, the Matildas star added: "I think it drives us. We're both so competitive but then we have our support. Some days I'll come out of a game, she'll come out of a game, and we'll just say we don't want to talk about soccer."

The power couple's romance rumours first ignited during the Tokyo Olympics 2020, and the confirmation of their relationship came shortly after when the Blues star posted a heartfelt photo of them kissing on Instagram. Since then, the couple has openly shared their love on social media. They got engaged earlier this year in September.

The 30-year-old is having a fruitful season with Emma Hayes' side as they are currently leading the Women's Super League title race despite a recent defeat to London rivals Arsenal at the Emirates. She will be next seen in action for her club in the Women's Champions League on Thursday when they take on Hacken.
