The two got to know each other when Berger, previously at Paris Saint-Germain, moved to the Birmingham City FC in May 2016. Jess Carter was part of the team from 2013. “In the beginning I thought she was arrogant, but when I met her, I was very impressed by her character,” said Berger about her future partner. “In 2017 I wanted to move out and learned that Ann was looking for a roommate,” said Jess Carter. “In February we moved to Solihull together.” The two had become good friends and Carter in particular had initially not believed in a romantic connection.
“I had separated from my friend when I moved in, but as far as I knew I was hetero. Ann-Katrin had all the qualities I want from a partner, but I have never been to a woman, so I hadn’t really thought about it.” But everything developed very quickly and very naturally after a dinner date in 2017 and the two became a couple.
