Matildas star Katrina Gorry has strongly defended teammate Sam Kerr after offensive remarks targeted their families. She condemned comments suggesting children in same-sex parent households are deprived, emphasizing that love and care matter more than a parent’s gender.
Gorry, who shares two children with her fiancée Clara Markstedt, called out political attacks as harmful and outdated. She stressed that her kids are happy, loved, and thriving — and that having two mums should be seen as something positive, not criticized.
She highlighted the emotional and financial commitment involved in IVF, adding it reflects how deeply she and her partner value their family. For Gorry, children need affection and support — not outdated judgments on family structure.
Gorry also opened up about her past struggles with an eating disorder, describing how becoming a mother marked a turning point in her recovery. Pregnancy helped her rediscover self-worth and gave her the strength to embrace life again.
