Alex Morgan Announces She's Pregnant With Her Third Child

The last time Alex Morgan announced a pregnancy, she was simultaneously and tearfully announcing her retirement from soccer.

“Charlie came up to me the other day and said that, when she grows up, she wants to be a soccer player, and it just made me immensely proud - not because I wish for her to become a soccer player when she grows up, but because a pathway exists that even a four-year-old can see now,” Morgan said in her September 2024 video. “We’re changing lives, and the impact we have on the next generation is irreversible, and I’m proud of the hand I had in making that happen, in pushing the game forward, and leaving it in a place that I’m place that I’m so happy and proud of.”

Morgan continued, “This is also not the retirement video I expected when I initially thought I was gonna do this because Charlie is gonna be a big sister. I am pregnant.”

There were no tears the third time around, and Charlie is going to be a big sister two times over.

On Sunday - Mother’s Day, appropriately - Morgan posted an Instagram video showing her six-year-old daughter, Charlie, kissing her baby bump on the beach at sunset. The post’s caption confirmed her third child is due this fall.

Morgan and her husband, Servando Carrasco, welcomed Charlie in May 2020, and their son, Enzo, in March 2025. Morgan and Carrasco, a fellow former soccer player, got married on New Year’s Eve in 2014.

Morgan made her USWNT debut in October 2010 and immediately announced herself as a star with a game-tying goal. The California native scored 123 goals and recorded 53 assists across 224 international caps, winning two World Cups and one Olympic gold medal in the process.

Morgan also starred at the club level - playing in the NWSL for the Portland Thorns (2013-15), Orlando Pride (2016-19), and San Diego Wave FC (2022-24). Morgan and the Thorns won the first-ever NWSL championship in 2013, and she also won the UEFA Champions League with Lyon in 2017. She led the Wave to the NWSL Shield in 2023.

Morgan played her final match with the Wave on Sept. 8, 2024, and the Wave retired her No. 13 jersey last September. Morgan still resides in San Diego and became a minority investor in the Wave last May.
