Who is Mackenzie Arnold’s girlfriend Kirsty Smith?
AS the Women’s World Cup enters its final stages, Matildas star Mackenzie Arnold has gotten plenty of support from her loved one.
Here is a look into the Aussie goalkeeper’s girlfriend Kirsty Smith and the couple’s pitch-perfect relationship.
Who is Kirsty Smith?
Kirsty Anele Smith is a Scottish footballer who plays as a defender for English Women’s Super League club West Ham United and the Scotland national team.
She has previously played for Manchester United as part of their inaugural professional side in 2018 and went on to win the FA Women’s Championship title that same season.
Kirsty made 58 appearances as a red, scoring one goal which came in our 11-0 League Cup demolition of Leicester City in November 2019.
The 29-year-old also has a First Class Honours degree in Accountancy and Finance after completing her studies at Edinburgh Heriot Watt University.
How long have Kirsty Smith and Mackenzie Arnold been dating?
Despite meeting in 2021, it’s not exactly known when the two began dating as both women didn’t comment on their relationship until 2023.
But eagle-eyed fans spotted the couple celebrating the holiday season together in December 2022 thanks to matching Instagram backgrounds.
“London suits ya,” Mackenzie commented on Kirsty’s post.
In February, Mackenzie shared the first photo of Kristy to her account, with the Scottish player spotted in a carousel of photos from London.
A month later, the West Ham teammates confirmed their relationship, with Mackenzie sharing a selfie of them hugging.
The pair then began appearing on each other’s social media more frequently before heading to Greece together in June for a getaway before the Women’s World Cup.
“Love You,” Kirsty wrote with a white heart emoji.
Do they have any children?
It is not known if either Mackenzie or Kirsty have children of their own.
The couple also has not revealed whether they plan to start a family.
