In her Instagram Stories on Nov. 28, Krieger, 40, revealed that she is currently dating Scottish soccer player Jen Beattie, who also broke the news.
After Beattie, 33, posted a photo of the two laughing while drinking red wine on her Stories with the caption: “Thank you. Happy Thanksgiving my love @alikrieger ❤️,” Krieger responded with a post of her own, sharing the photo on her Stories and writing, “You have no idea… ❤️❤️❤️.”

She added that she didn’t immediately jump into a relationship after the breakup of her marriage to Harris — who is now in a relationship with actress Sophia Bush — because she needed to “grieve” the end of their relationship.
“That gave me time since when [Ashlyn] left me to really focus on obviously football and finishing my career, but then healing my wounds and kind of licking my wounds, so to speak,” the retired USWNT star continued.
Krieger added, “I think eight, nine months later gave me time to grieve and sort out all those feelings.”
