Matildas superstar Sam Kerr officially turned 30 on Sunday, and her girlfriend Kristie Mewis and some of her teammates celebrating Sam’s milestone birthday.
The soccer striker’s girlfriend, US soccer player Kristie Mewis, shared a sweet photo of the pair of them together at dinner.
“Happy birthday my love,” she wrote to Sam.
Sam has become a household name after the FIFA Women’s World Cup, held here in July and August.
Three of Sam’s Matildas teammates Mackenzie Arnold, Caitlin Foord and Steph Catley, also marked Sam’s birthday.
This week all three Matildas players posted photo collages to their Instagram Stories, sharing their memories with Sam and messages for her.
