The couple continued their romance ahead of the 2021 Olympics, where they were photographed together after the USA defeated Australia in the semifinals.
Their embrace on the pitch grabbed headlines as Kerr’s split from her former longtime partner – another US club player Nikki Stanton – was yet to be made public.
Their worldwide romance has since been widely documented on social media and both women have hundreds of thousands of followers.
“We’re not private individuals.” I’m happy to share my story. I like to share who I am outside of football. Football makes up 5 percent of my life,” Kerr told British publication Gaffer earlier this year.
The critically acclaimed posts come after it was reported that Kerr made more than $3 million last year, and after Australia fell in love with the Matildas during their World Cup campaign, the soccer superstar and her team-mates could be a whole lot richer .
The Matildas finished fourth at the tournament after losing to England in the semifinals.
With more than 11 million watching the game across Australia, the World Cup has done wonders for our Australian women footballers and the Matildas brand.
Kerr is Australia’s highest-paid soccer player and reportedly pocketed $3.3 million last year.

That stunning figure takes into account her $600,000 salary from her club Chelsea, with the rest reportedly coming from sponsorship deals with Nike, Mastercard and EA Sports, The Australian Financial Review reported.
Kerr’s 13-year deal with Nike is valued at around $1 million.
Last year, she became the first player to appear on the cover of the video game FIFA 2023.
She recently secured an oceanfront vacant lot in the Perth suburb of North Coogee for $940,000.
Kerr grew up in the area and the 200 square meter apartment block is close to where her parents Roxanne and Roger Kerr live.
The block has approved plans for a 3 story townhouse and sits just behind the shoreline overlooking the ocean.
