Sam Kerr and Kristie Mewis recently celebrated the birth of their son, Jagger, sharing the joyous news with fans on Instagram. The announcement was warmly received, with thousands offering support and congratulations to the couple.
However, the moment drew criticism from Family First’s national director, Lyle Shelton. He questioned the absence of a father figure, suggesting the child’s rights were being compromised by not having both a mum and dad.
Shelton stated that children should not be treated as “lifestyle accessories,” urging society to prioritize children’s rights over adult choices. His comments sparked debate across social and political circles.
Despite the backlash, many continue to support Kerr and Mewis, emphasizing the importance of love and family in all forms. The couple has not publicly responded to Shelton’s remarks.
