See the photo proves that while Sam Kerr's baby boy was born in England, he'll be raised 100 per cent Aussie
The Matildas captain, 31, has posted an image to Instagram story from outside Australia House in London, the country's high commission for the UK, where matters like citizenship and passports are dealt with.
The photo - featuring Jagger and Kerr's partner Kristie Mewis - was captioned 'Oi Oi Oi', which is a well known patriotic chant every Aussie knows.
Jagger is likely to become a dual citizen - and given his mothers were born in Australia and the US respectively, it is safe to assume he will be a regular traveller abroad.
It comes as Kerr continues her worrying long recovery from an ACL rupture in her knee sustained at a training camp with Chelsea in January of 2024 and made a surprise trip down under.
Meanwhile, Family First national director Lyle Shelton was slammed after recently publicly questioning Kerr's same-sex relationship, blaming the couple for 'depriving' their son of a father.
His vile post followed the soccer power couple - Mewis plays for the USWNT - proudly posting images of Jagger on social media.
'A baby is born - but where's dad?' Shelton wrote alongside a photo of the couple and their baby.
'Family First congratulates Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis on the birth of their son - but we must speak a truth too many are afraid to say.
'No child should be deliberately deprived of their father. Children aren't lifestyle accessories - they're human beings with rights.'
Shelton went on to ask: 'When cultural elites cheer on choices that sideline dads, who's left standing for the child?'
'Love is not enough. Every child deserves - and needs - a mum and a dad, wherever possible. It's time to put children's rights before adult desires.'
Shelton was one of the leaders of the 'No' campaign against same-sex marriage in Australia.
His post received support from United Australia Party Senator Ralph Babet, who commented, 'children need both a mother and a father.'

Marcus Rashford believes Man United are stuck in ‘no man's land'
Marcus Rashford, now on loan at Barcelona, has criticised Manchester United, stating the club is stuck 'in no man's land'. He attributes United's struggles to a lack of consistent principles and a reactionary approach to management and player recruitment. United endured their worst top-flight season in decades under Ruben Amorim, finishing 15th in the Premier League. Rashford suggests United should learn from Liverpool's patient approach with Jurgen Klopp, who was given time to implement his vision.
