Australia captain Kerr revealed on Monday that she and fiancee Kristie Mewis, the West Ham midfielder, were to become parents next year. The 31-year-old’s announcement on social media, which was accompanied by photographs of the couple showing off Mewis baby ‘bump’, attracted a number of homophobic comments.
