Another image, posted to Kerr’s Instagram Stories, showed Mewis gazing out the window of the couple’s opulent Sydney hotel room.

The panoramic view gave the American athlete a perfect look at Sydney’s iconic harbour. 

Just the night prior, the Matildas player and her Houston Dash star partner embraced at the end of the game between the Australia and the US in Newcastle. 

A beaming Kerr ran up to Mewis, the professional athletes first politely shaking hands after the thrilling 1-1 draw.

They then quickly embraced, with Mewis unable to wipe the smile off her face after the pair parted. 

The tender moment came after game two of the International Friendly series between the Australia Matildas and the US Women’s National Team at McDonald Jones Stadium. 

The lovebirds have been inseparable since they confirmed their romance in August. 

Kerr previously dated long-time girlfriend Nikki Stanton for almost eight years before quietly splitting early this year. 

It’s understood Kerr told friends at the time that she and Stanton, who is also a high-profile American footballer in her own right, had ‘fallen out of love’.

Soon after their split, talk that Kerr and Mewis had begun dating began to circulate in football gossip circles. 

Talk of a burgeoning fling reached fever pitch in Tokyo when the couple were photographed embracing in the moments following Australia’s loss to the US in the bronze medal playoff match.

Soon after Kerr confirmed the rumours, posting a series of loved-up snaps with Mewis on Instagram.
