“I don't think either of us really want to do things and be like 'we're a gay couple',” Lapinoe told ESPN. “But it's pretty special that we actually have this unique means to do it, not only to celebrate who we are in our sport, but also to be the first gay couple. Think about how far we've come, especially in the time we're in. We're not just female athletes, we're dating. That's a bit bad.”
The two retired a year away from their respective sports, and in 2022 birds hung sneakers, Rapinoe called their career in 2023.
