Born Kristen Anne Mewis on February 25, 1991, the 33-year-old started playing soccer in High school and later played collegiate at Boston College. As of this writing, she is a midfielder for Gotham FC.

In fact, they started communicating on Instagram during the Covid 19 restriction. Thankfully for their budding relationship, they were able to meet in person, four months later.

Thusly, while she was stealing the hearts of many with numerous braces in the tournament, she also found love in the arms of a fellow soccer player, Mewis. Sadly, her team was defeated by the US team for the bronze medal.

To give credence to this, they both went at each other when Mewis visited her in Newcastle, Australia at some point. Based on this experience, the Chelsea player revealed that ‘We’d k*ll each other’.
