In her announcement, she teased that the baby’s name will start with the letter “S.
🎉 Victory on and off the pitch
Kelly, 27, was one of the defining figures of England’s Euro 2025 campaign. She delivered under pressure, calmly converting the decisive spot kick in the final against Spain to seal back‑to‑back European titles for the Lionesses.
Her penalty heroics had already cemented her place in the hearts of fans, and now, this new chapter adds a deeply personal twist to her legacy.
📸 The announcement
In a post shared on Instagram, Kelly paired images of her lifting the trophy with those of her cradling a subtle baby bump. The caption read:
> “From one victory to another 💙 Baby K arriving soon… and yes, their name will start with S.”
The post quickly went viral, racking up millions of likes and triggering waves of congratulations and speculation from fans, teammates, and celebrities alike.
💬 Reactions and speculation
The reaction online has been electric. One fan on X (formerly Twitter) wrote:
> “First she wins Euro 2025 for us, now she’s giving us the next generation of Kellys? Queen behaviour.”
Another chimed in: “That’s how Kelly celebrates this win! On and off the pitch, she’s unstoppable.”
Comment threads are flooded with name guesses — Sophie, Samuel, Sienna, Sterling — even football-themed suggestions like “Striker” are being floated. Some fans believe the name will carry personal or family significance.
🛡️ Kelly in her own words
In press comments following the announcement, Kelly said she’s “feeling great” and intends to spend her upcoming months focusing on her health and preparing for motherhood. She also confirmed she will step back from competitive football for the rest of the year to prioritize this new journey.
Despite the break, she pledged her commitment to return to the sport when the time is right — making clear that her love for football remains undimmed.
👶 What’s next
Reports suggest the baby is due in early 2026, making it unlikely Kelly will feature in England’s upcoming fixtures. However, sources close to the Lionesses say her influence will still be felt in the dressing room, with her presence and leadership continuing behind the scenes.
England manager Sarina Wiegman has already expressed her support: “Chloe is a leader, a fighter, and a role model. We’re thrilled for her and can’t wait to welcome her back when she’s ready.”
As fans await the full name reveal — and the arrival of Kelly’s new little star — one thing is certain: she’s once again captured the public’s imagination, this time beyond the boundaries of a football pitch.
