Matildas captain Sam Kerr has been subjected to homophobic abuse after announcing she is having a baby with her fiancee Kristie Mewis.

The abuse has been condemned by Chelsea Pride, an LGBTQ+ supporter group affiliated with the men’s English Premier League and Women’s Super League club for whom Kerr plays.

However, while Monday’s post was met with joy by fellow Matildas such as Mary Fowler and Mackenzie Arnold, who were among many to post their congratulations, there was also abuse leading the pair to turn off comments on their social media.
