  • He is likely to soon become a dual citizen 
  • Follows Instagram post from Matildas captain

Sam Kerr’s son Jagger may have been born in England – but he will definitely be raised as an 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.’

Kerr and Mewis got engaged in September of 2023 and are expected to marry this December.
