Who is Tobin Heath dating? Meet Christen Press, her partner of 9 years and counting
Tobin Heath has officially retired at 37, ending one of the most decorated runs in U.S. women's soccer. While tributes pour in for the two-time World Cup winner, many are also looking to Christen Press—her partner of nine years and a star USWNT forward in her own right. Press isn't just part of Heath's personal life; she's built a formidable legacy herself through international goals, major club success, and ventures in business and media. And while Heath may be in the headlines for hanging up her boots, Press will be with her every step of the way. Christen Press: The scorer from Stanford to the world stage Born in Palos Verdes Estates, California, Christen Press was a prodigy long before she wore a national jersey. At Stanford University, she became the school's all-time leading scorer with 71 goals and won the prestigious Hermann Trophy in 2010, per US Soccer. Her early professional career included a breakout year in Sweden, where she topped the scoring charts in 2013. By 2014, she was back in the U.S., joining the NWSL and eventually playing for Angel City FC. Press has logged 155 games, netted 64 goals, and assisted on 43 more for the U.S. Women's National Team. She played in two World Cups, was part of the 2015 and 2019 winning squads, and brought home Olympic bronze in Tokyo. Off the pitch: Business, media, and a private love story Press and Heath met as teammates, but their connection grew far from the spotlight. 'There was just, like, a magnetism,' Press said in a 2024 interview. They kept their relationship largely private, at first due to the demands of professional life and later by choice. The two eventually co-founded RE-INC in 2019, a lifestyle brand focused on sustainability and equity. They also co-host The RE-CAP Show, a podcast that recently won a major award for social impact. Together, Press and Heath built a partnership rooted in shared values, fierce ambition, and mutual respect—both on the soccer fields and off it.

Who is Tobin Heath? US women's soccer legend and two-time Olympic medallist retires after heartbreaking injury battle
Tobin Heath, one of America's greatest soccer players and two-time Olympic medallist, announced her retirement Thursday after struggling for three years with a devastating knee injury. The 37-year-old revealed the news on "The RE-CAP Show" podcast with her wife, former teammate Christen Press, breaking down as she described grieving the loss of her 'greatest gift'. Heath hasn't played since August 2022, when her left knee, damaged by cartilage holes discovered during 2021 Olympics prep, finally gave out after multiple surgeries, including a cartilage replacement. "I can't play soccer anymore, even casually," she confessed, describing the heartbreak when a ball rolls to her now, and 'my ability isn't there'. Heath leaves as a USWNT legend with 181 appearances, 36 goals, and trophy cases full of hardware: two World Cup titles (2015, 2019), two Olympic golds (2008, 2012), and two NWSL championships with Portland Thorns. Fans will forever remember her curling goal in the 2015 World Cup final against Japan, the exclamation point in a 5-2 victory. Teammates called her America's "most skillful player," famous for nutmegging opponents and street-soccer flair . Her career spanned clubs in France (PSG), England (Manchester United, Arsenal), and the NWSL, where she scored a championship-winning goal on a broken foot in 2013. Though heartbroken, Heath stays busy co-hosting "The RE-CAP Show" with Press and running their RE—INC lifestyle brand. She made history this year as the only woman in FIFA's technical study group for the men's Club World Cup. Retirement also makes her eligible for the National Soccer Hall of Fame, with voting expected soon.
