After the football couple announced that they were going to be parents, they received hundreds of congratulations and comments about the addition of a family. “Mewis-Kerr baby will arrive in 2025!”, wrote the couple who got engaged last year. – We are just very happy for both of them. Just seeing the joy it gives them, said Chelsea captain Millie Bright. But the response was not just pleasant – and that causes more people to react. – First of all, it is sad that this type of news should create so much hatred, says Frida Maanum to news. SUPPORT: The football couple play for Australia (Kerr) and the USA (Mewis) respectively. From then on, the teams met during the WC in New Zealand.

The match starts at 18.00 on news. – Sad to hear that the world is in that place Chelsea player Kerr and West Ham player Mewis posted a black and white photo of the two together with an ultrasound image and Mewis’ stomach. In the comments section, Maren Mjelde, Guro Reiten and several big football profiles have congratulated and shown their support for the couple. Many are also looking forward to “a little football player” coming into the world. But at the same time, they also received several ugly comments. – There are of course many people who congratulate too, but that there should be room for hatred in this type of situation where two people are going through the process of having a child… that should be positive news. I honestly just have to say that it is very sad, says Maanum. FULL OF UNDERSTANDING: Maanum, who plays big for the national team and Arsenal during the day, thinks it’s sad that the couple gets fired up. Photo: Eskil Wie Furunes / news – It is sad to hear that the world is still in that place, that we are negative about such news. Simply because two girls who are together and are about to have a child. The only thing I want to say is that it is very, very sad. And that I hope that one may have come further in a few years. The negative messages mostly focus on the attitude of the couple and that they are two women having children together. – They have a lot of support from teammates and friends. They are a wonderful couple. I think they are fine even if there are hateful comments, says Celin Bizet Ildhusøy. According to The Guardian, Kerr and Mewis have been a couple since 2021. Expecting incitement After the comment field was limited, they also received support from many who condemned the incitement. Kerr’s former coach at Chelsea and current USA coach for Mewis, Emma Hayes, also showed her support for the couple. – I think that we in women’s football have started to expect that. It doesn’t make it right, and it’s unacceptable, but I know Sam will deal with it, Hayes said earlier this week. She gets support from Norway’s national team coach Gemma Grainger, but the latter thinks it’s about a bigger picture: MANY OPINIONS: Grainger has lived in England and knows that people have many opinions. – I can’t go to the shop, meet the neighbor or the guy who fixes my house without someone saying what they think about the match. Photo: Eskil Wie Furunes / news – I think it is very disappointing. What the social medium does is to offer all its opinions. I don’t think it’s just women’s football. I see it every week in men’s football as well, says Grainger to news. – Of course everyone has the right to have an opinion, but the level of respect and disrespect is sometimes completely unacceptable. I don’t think it’s just a women’s football problem, I think it’s a world problem. Kerr’s club Chelsea also came out and condemned the incitement. The club said in a statement to Reuters that they were aware of “unacceptable and hateful homophobic comments” on various social media.
