The Matildas are the pride of the nation and right now, they're representing Australia at the 2024 Paris Olympics!

While the football team are on the field, their partners are cheering them on with the rest of Australia (or even playing themselves).

From engagements to weddings and babies, here is everything we know about our favourite Matilda relationships.

Mary Fowler and Nathan Cleary.

Mary Fowler became a face and name to remember at the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup.

Following her impressive performance, rumours swirled about who she was dating. She was photographed hanging out with Penrith Panthers' halfback Nathan Cleary in July 2023.

In January 2024, Mary hard-launched her relationship with the rugby player on social media, sharing a series of photos with him. And fans are loving the relationship!

When she's not playing for Australia, Mary is contracted to Manchester City Women's Football Club, where she plays in the Women's Super League. In March, Nathan flew to Manchester, England, to visit her.

Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis.

Matildas' captain Sam Kerr and American footballer Kristie Mewis may be competitors on the field, but they're as loved-up as can be off it.

The pair sparked dating rumours in 2021 when they were seen embracing after Sam lost a game to Team USA.

Less than a week after the viral tender moment, the Australian sportswoman confirmed her relationship on social media with a post of the pair kissing.

Both Sam and Kristie competed at the Tokyo Olympics and in November 2021, Kristie opened up about the reality of being in a long-distance relationship.

"I hadn't seen her in so long, so of course, it was like crazy that we were going to be at the Olympics together and crazy that we were going to be playing each other," the American athlete told Just Women's Sports Snacks podcast.

"It was obviously so cool that she was there and that we were playing them, but also obviously with COVID-19 times and stuff like that… I couldn't really see her that much. And it had been so long already — it had been months."

Two years into their relationship, Sam shared what it is like dating a competitor. She told the UK publication Gaffer about their intense chemistry.

"It was about three or four months until we could hang out in person," the Aussie athlete recalled.

"The first time we ever met there was quarantine so we had to spend two weeks together the first time we met.

She added: "I was thinking if I don't like her this is going to be awkward."

In September 2023, Sam and Kristie announced they were engaged.

In December 2023, it was reported that Kristie was preparing to move to the UK to be closer to her fiancé.

And in the documentaryUnder Pressure, Kristie was open about being "done" with the long-distance aspect of her relationship with Sam. She also spoke about her relationship with the Aussie footballer.

"Sam, she's just like the best person ever," she said. "I feel like everybody says that about their partner, but I just feel so lucky that she likes me.

"Sometimes I feel I have impostor syndrome and I'm like, how is she choosing me? How am I good enough for her?"

Katrina Gorry and Clara Markstedt.

Australian-born football player Katrina Gorry did not know she would meet the love of her life when she went to Sweden. The local club Vittsjö had recruited the athlete, but it is where she met fellow teammate, Clara Markstedt.

Katrina was happy, single and had even given birth to her daughter, Harper, in August 2021 through IVF, when she met Clara.

"When I went over to Sweden, love was not something I wanted to think about. It was just me and Harper. I never wanted to get married, and I think I had pushed away love or being in a relationship," Katrina told Mamamia's No Filter podcast.

In June 2023, the pair got engaged after 13 months of dating.

"We had a picnic by the water, played some cards and Clara showed me a video of our past year together," Katrina told Woman's Day."She wrote me a letter, told me to close my eyes and got down on one knee. It was beautiful."

"I said no at first because I was in shock and then I said, 'Of course, yes!'" she said.

In November 2023, Gorry and Markstedt announced they were expecting a baby together, with Markstedt carrying their child. They shared the news on social media with the caption: "Adding more love to our love story."

They welcomed their son, Koby Peter David Gorry, on June 9, 2024.

"Big sister is absolutely in love and our hearts are so full," the couple shared in an Instagram post.

Emily van Egmond and Kat Thompson.

Matildas midfielder Emily van Egmond knew Kat Thompson was the one for her "early on" in their relationship.

After meeting in 2022, it was clear their relationship was special, Emily toldNew Idea.

"I feel like she brings out a really good side of me," she shared. "I'm very happy."

And in May 2023, Emily proposed to Kat, a digital content creator, on a cliff overlooking the ocean in San Diego, California.

"From the first date there’s never been holding back, it’s been so comfortable — as if I’ve known her a lot longer," Kat told the publication.

While we don't know much about their relationship, including their wedding date, we do know that Emily splits her time between Australia where she plays for the Matildas, and the US where she plays for San Diego Wave FC.

We also know the couple are planning to wed in the athlete's home country.

"We are aiming for the summer," she toldNew Idea. "It's not going to be a massive crazy wedding."

Ellie Carpenter and Daniëlle van de Donk.

Ellie Carpenter plays for both the Matildas and the French club Olympique Lyonnais — which is where she met her now-partner Daniëlle van de Donk.

The pair sparked dating rumours in February 2022 when they were spotted having dinner together on Valentine's Day. However, nothing was confirmed until three months later when both athletes celebrated the Lyons winning the Champions League.

In a photo shared on Instagram, the pair were both seen wearing medals and holding the cup. Daniëlle captioned the picture with, "This one is special."
