Yes. Former England goalkeeper Mary Earps has a partner, Kitty Forrest. On November 6, 2026, Earps announced that she and Forrest had welcomed a baby boy the previous day, sharing the news after keeping the pregnancy private.
Earps first publicly discussed their same-sex relationship in 2025, around the release of her autobiography. She has described the relationship as important to her while explaining why she has chosen to keep much of her personal life out of the spotlight.
Destaques
Earps’ partner is Kitty Forrest. The former Lionesses goalkeeper confirmed that she was in a same-sex relationship in October 2025, and later spoke about Kitty in connection with her autobiography, All In: Football, Life and Learning to be Unapologetically Me.
In a BBC Sport interview, Earps said she was proud of the relationship and explained that she did not see sexuality as linear or want to apply a label to herself. Her own account is the clearest basis for describing how she understands her identity.
Earps has shared selected details, but she has also been clear that people close to her did not necessarily choose the public attention that comes with her career. In an ITV News interview, she explained that she wanted to protect them and retain some private space, while feeling that leaving such an important relationship out of her book would not have been authentic.
Yes. Earps announced on November 6, 2026, that she and Forrest had welcomed a baby boy on November 5. She shared the news on Instagram and in a video, describing their excitement about becoming a family of three, according to an Independent report reproducing her announcement.
The couple had not publicly announced that they were expecting before the birth. In her announcement, Earps said she looked forward to sharing aspects of the experience of balancing football and motherhood. The report said the baby’s first name had not been disclosed in that announcement; later claims about it should be treated with care unless confirmed by the family.
The announcement gives a more recent answer to the partner question than articles written when Earps first spoke publicly about Kitty. It also shows the distinction between what the couple have chosen to share and details that remain their own.
Earps spoke publicly about being in a same-sex relationship in late October 2025, shortly before the publication of her memoir. The BBC reported that she felt ready to share that part of her life and that she had previously tried to keep her relationships private.
The timing matters: readers may find older profiles that say her relationship status is unknown. Those profiles predate her public comments and should not be treated as a current account. At the same time, her decision to discuss Kitty did not make every detail of their relationship public. Reliable updates are best grounded in what Earps or Forrest have actually said.
Earps became one of England’s most recognizable players as goalkeeper for the team that won the 2022 European Championship and reached the 2023 Women’s World Cup final. England Football says she retired from international football in May 2025 after earning 53 senior caps. She also won the Golden Glove at the 2023 World Cup and was named The Best FIFA Women’s Goalkeeper twice. England Football’s retirement announcement sets out her international record.
Her international retirement did not mean she stopped playing club football. After leaving Manchester United in 2024, she spent two seasons at Paris Saint-Germain. In June 2026, the Women’s Super League announced her move to London City Lionesses, bringing her back to English club football.
In her birth announcement, Earps said she was looking forward to sharing more about life as both a footballer and a mother. That is an expression of her own hopes, rather than a detailed schedule for future appearances or family updates. Any further information about their child or personal life will depend on what the couple choose to make public.
For readers following Earps’ career, the key distinction remains that she has retired from representing England internationally while continuing her club career. Her family announcement adds a new chapter to her public story without changing that distinction.
