Soccer superstar Sam Kerr has delighted fans by releasing the first official photographs from her highly anticipated wedding to fellow footballer Kristie Mewis. The Matildas captain took to Instagram on Saturday afternoon to share loved-up snapshots from their private Perth ceremony.
Stunning Images Reveal Wedding Day Joy
Kerr posted the photos with a simple yet powerful caption: “Wifey”. One intimate image captures the newlyweds sharing a kiss, with Kerr looking sharp in a classic black tuxedo. Her new spouse, American soccer star Kristie Mewis, wore an elegant beaded gown and a traditional veil for the occasion.
A second, more exuberant photo shows the celebrations in full swing. In this shot, Kerr carries Mewis on her shoulders as the American raises a champagne glass high, perfectly capturing the joyful spirit of the day.
A Private Perth Ceremony on New Year's Eve
The social media reveal comes just days after the couple officially tied the knot. They were married in a private ceremony in Perth on New Year's Eve, Wednesday, 31 December 2025. Kerr was photographed leaving Crown Towers ahead of the nuptials, accompanied by family members.
In a touching detail, she was seen carrying a baby bottle for the couple's seven-month-old son, Jagger. The infant played a special role in the ceremony, with Kerr walking him down the aisle. Mewis had previously spoken on her podcast about this moment, predicting she would “sob” when it happened.
Guest List and Relationship Timeline
Mewis offered fans a glimpse into the wedding planning, confirming that 120 guests attended the celebration. The guest list was a who's who of international football, including teammates from both the Australian Matildas and the United States women's national soccer team.
The couple's relationship has been in the public eye since they got together in 2021. They announced their engagement in 2023 and welcomed their son, Jagger, in May 2025. Their wedding marks the latest chapter in a romance that has captivated sports fans across Australia and the United States.
