In October 2020, Bird confirmed their engagement sharing a shot of Rapinoe, 38, proposing to her as they swam in a pool at an idyllic destination.
Rapinoe was one of the highest-paid players of the 2023 FIFA Women’s World Cup .
While she earns $US700,000 (approx. $1.03m) on the field, most of her income is from her lucrative off-field earnings at $6.3 million (approx. $9.3m).
