LONDON (AP) — Chelsea striker Sam Kerr and U.S. midfielder Kristie Mewis are expecting a baby. Kerr, the Australia captain, and Mewis announced the news on their respective Instagram accounts with pictures of the couple — including one of them holding up an image of the echography — and a post which read: “Mewis-Kerr baby coming 2025!” Kerr, who this year signed a two-year contract extension with Chelsea, keeping her at the London club to 2026, is one of the biggest stars in the game. She has won five consecutive Women’s Super Leagues, three FA Cups and two League Cups.
