Olympic footballers make relationship Instagram official with adorable photo

Olympians Kristie Mewis and Sam Kerr have revealed that they are officially dating with the most adorable photo on Instagram.

Even before the Tokyo 2020 games, rumours swirled online about the two elite athletes being an item. This ramped up after Mewis was seen comforting Kerr after Team USA defeated Team Australia for the bronze medal on 5 August. The two women were seen closely embracing on the pitch after the match.

Kerr made their relationship public with a simple post on Instagram. The Australian footballer shared a picture of her and Mewis cuddled up and kissing, alongside a heart emoji.

German footballer Melanie Leupolz, who plays for Chelsea FCW, commented with several heart eye emojis. Manchester United’s Hannah Blundell commented the same with the addition of a flame emoji.
