Kerr, 31, and Mewis, 34, made their relationship public at the 2021 Tokyo Olympics when photos of them hugging after they faced off against each other went viral, and then got engaged in 2023.
Now, Kerr and Mewis are making waves with the announcement of their bundle of joy, but earlier this year their names were splashed across the headlines when Kerr was accused of 'causing racially aggravated harassment' to a police officer in England after allegedly calling him 'stupid and white.'

Bayern Munich open talks to sign Christopher Nkunku
Since the transfer of Nick Woltemade is still difficult to accomplish, Bayern Munich have set their sights on another one of their long-time targets: Chelsea's Christopher Nkunku. But what is new? While Bayern's interest in the French player has been there for almost the whole year, they've just now opened talks again with Nkunku, his agency and Chelsea over a possible transfer this summer. The Rekordmeister would prefer to do a loan with an option to buy, but Chelsea are pushing for a permanent sale. The interesting part: Bayern and Nkunku managed to come to an agreement on personal terms in January 2025 - and said agreement is reportedly still valid now! If the discussions between Bayern and Chelsea would now also come to a conclusion, then nothing stands in the way of the transfer. The almost finalized sale of Kingsley Coman to Al-Nassr has accelerated the negotiations for a possible replacement; Bayern are still keen on Woltemade and a deal could be struck - but they are also interested in Nkunku, who would like to join the Bavarians as well. For Chelsea, the sale of Nkunku could help them in financing the transfer of Leipzig's Xavi Simons, meaning that Bayern might be responsible for Leipzig losing their most valuable player soon.

Hugo Ekitike instantly compared to Liverpool legend responsible for $63M heartbreak
Hugo Ekitike has started his Liverpool career with a bang, following up his opener in the Community Shield with another goal and a brace against Bournemouth on Friday night. The Frenchman's all-round performances have been hugely encouraging. and his display against the Cherries was also enough to earn him the Premier League's player of the match award. Ekitike's performance drew plenty of praise from Liverpool supporters on social media, with some likening his play style to that of former Reds favorite Fernando Torres. Torres may have damaged his reputation with his $63 million move to Chelsea in 2011, leaving fans heartbroken in the process, but for much of the three and a half years that he was a Liverpool player, he was a devastating striker. READ MORE: Hugo Ekitike does something only Darwin Nunez had done before on Liverpool debut READ MORE: Mohamed Salah breaks down in tears after Liverpool's first Premier League game Commenting on Ekitike's goal against Bournemouth, one Liverpool fan account wrote: "That Ekitike goal was very Torres like. I absolutely adore Hugo." Another said: "Is it just me, or does Ekitike remind you of Torres? His body language, movements, and style of play are so similar. Either way, a great signing." Former Premier League goalkeeper Ben Foster had a similar view, as he wrote: "Is it just me that thinks Hugo Ekitike looks like prime Liverpool Fernando Torres running round Anfield?!!!!" Meanwhile, Ekitike said that there is plenty of room for improvement in his game despite a bright start to his Reds career. "I think it was a good performance," Ekitike told Sky Sports. "I could do better. But the most important thing tonight is the win and the mentality we showed. We wanted to win for the people who came tonight and for Diogo and that's what we did, so I'm happy for everybody. "I have so many things to do better. I helped the team as much as I could, I can do a lot of things. I think I will get better and do even more for this team." Explaining the difference between his role for Frankfurt and his role for Liverpool, he added: "I changed my way of playing here, it's different football with more intensity. "The defenders are stronger and there are tight spaces here. I had so much more space in Germany. That's why I try to come, link and go and run behind. We have to find the way to succeed with the details. It's not good anymore. We just have to get better."
