Jess Carter and Ann-Katrin Berger
This is how the EM stars got to know each other
In the final of the Football Women’s European Championship, there could have been a special duel: DFB keeper Ann-Katrin Berger against her fiance Jess Carter. But the DFB left out beforehand.
The German goalkeeper Ann-Katrin Berger and the English-American football player Jess Carter gave everything on the lawn. In theory, the two could have met in the European Championship final in Switzerland. But then the German women’s team left the game against the Spaniards.
In private, it has long since sparked in front of them through their shared passion for football. 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.
A dinner date changed everything between Jess Carter and Ann-Katrin Berger
“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.
