Houston Dash and UWSNT keeper, Jane Campbell tied the knot with retired soccer player Christine Nairn. Before her retirement, Nairn and Campbell played together for the Dash. Their wedding was a beautiful and intimate seaside ceremony back in December of 2023, featuring laughter, family, friends, and bottles of beer.

Married for two years this month, we have another Houston Dash player, Sarah Puntigam, and her wife, Genessee Daughetee Puntigam. The two have been together since 2019, having met during overlapping seasons with Montpellier. They played another season together, this time for FC Köln; the same year, they got married in a gorgeous outdoor ceremony with a massive bridal party.

Gotham FC Teammates Sinead Farrelly and MaitaneLopez have been together since at least last winter.
