Alex Morgan's personal life is pretty fantastic these days as well. She met her husband, fellow soccer player Servando Carrasco, in college, and the two got marred in 2014 (via Good Housekeeping). They welcomed their daughter Charlie, who has joined her mom on the soccer field in the cutest way possible, in April 2020 (via People). 

Many people were surprised that Morgan got pregnant when she did, and Morgan was surprised by their surprise! As she told Glamour earlier this year, "Casual fans of the game were just like, 'Why would she do something like that during the peak of her career? It's not like women can't do both — our bodies are incredible — it's the fact that this world isn't really set up for women to thrive."

In fact, she contemplated not even sharing the news of her pregnancy at all so she could avoid dealing with what other people thought about it. Morgan shared that she had significant hesitations, saying that it was "[her] body, [her] family, [her] life," and that going public could open her up to unwarranted opinions and criticisms. However, Morgan was driven to share the news in part so she could show that women can have children and continue with their work, even when that work is physically demanding.

"I thought to myself, I have the support in place to be able to come back. There's no reason for me to stop just to start a family," she said. A superstar on and off the field, there's no doubt about it.
