Ashlyn Harris adopted two kids with her now ex-wife, fellow soccer superstar Ali Krieger. The two started dating in 2010, tied the knot in 2019, and adopted a daughter named Sloane Philips in 2021. In August of 2022, they expanded their family further with the arrival of their son Ocean Maeve, whom they had also adopted.
While Harris is a renowned athlete, she told People that nothing has made her feel more fulfilled than being a mother. “I feel like I’ve had a lot of job titles and cool job titles — professional athlete, world champion — but being a mom for sure surpasses it all,” she said, noting that no other accolades have compared to the happiness she feels about raising her kids. “This has been one of the most rewarding, incredible experiences I’ve ever done in my life. And being able to do it with Ali has just been the coolest moment of my life, truthfully.”

Before she split from Krieger, Harris hinted at their plans to grow their family even more. The Women’s World Cup champion shared with the outlet that adopting more kids in the future was not something they were opposed to. “We have always dreamt of having a big family. We both have brothers who are older, really close in age, 13 and 15 months apart,” she dished. “It’s really exciting to think ahead about having more kids and filling the house with joy and love and happiness, and chaos as well.”
