Fans react to Kerr and Mewis's pregnancy news
A surprising number of responses also reflected confusion about how Mewis became pregnant.
Despite these negative reactions, an outpouring of support and positivity from fans highlighted the overwhelming goodwill toward the couple.
Some notable comments include:
@LindsMCWFC wrote:
"This is wonderful! So happy for them!! 😍"
@ElliotGCFC chimed in:
"That is absolutely amazing. Congratulations to them both ❤️"
@mikeyshaps predicted:
"That kid will grow up better loved and cared for than many. Kids barely care if someone has two mums or dads these days, let alone in 15 years."
However, not all reactions were not supportive of the news:
@ajee_ife’s insisted:
"Parenting should be between a man/woman"
@Pueh_11’s concluded:
"How is that possible? Who impregnated who?"
The duo, who got engaged last year, are known not only for their success on the pitch but also for their role as trailblazers in the footballing world.
Kerr, a prolific striker with a knack for scoring decisive goals, and Mewis, a midfield maestro, continue to break barriers both in their careers and personal lives.
