Are these the first professional sports teammates to marry? They’re certainly the most high-profile, representing the U.S. at the World Cup, and slated to compete for the final this weekend.
WHEN SOCCER STAR Ali Krieger trains with her goalie fiancée, Ashlyn Harris, “I try to score so I can rub it in later,” she says, laughing. Both play for the Orlando Pride, so “everything is a competition,” says Harris. They met nine years ago at training camp but kept their romance private— even as so-called Krashlyn fan-fiction proliferated every time they posted a picture together on social media. How fitting that their engagement was born of a selfie.
Off-field, their focus turns domestic: their 180-pound Cane Corso Mastiff, Logan; cooking protein-packed pregame meals; watching. “It’s taken us a long time to figure out what balance looks like,” admits Harris. The couple dream of adopting children but are keenly aware of how much of a juggling act that will be. “I think the first step for us was making our relationship public,” Harris says. “We wanted to come out and say this is who we are.
The wedding is set for December in Miami. Harris, known for her hipster-dandy style, is considering a custom suit by Thom Browne or Tom Ford. Krieger has her dress picked out but wants to keep it a surprise. The guest list will be tight, about 100 people; Logan, their mastiff, will not attend, but she won’t be left out either. Harris: “We will definitely dress her up and take pictures."
