Where Is Kameryn From?

How Did Kelley Meet Kameryn?
While there is little information about the meet-cute for the soccer star and businesswoman, People reported that they “quickly became friends” after meeting through work. “At one point, we looked at each other and I think it clicked for both of us. Like, ‘Oh, I like you! And you like me?!’ ” Kelley told the outlet in July 2023.

As soon as the team won, Kelley ran over to the stands and planted a big smooch on Kameryn, who was cheering her on during the game. The image, which can be seen here, quickly went viral as it was a unique way to come out as queer, as Kelley was not publicly out at the time. The kiss made Kelley an instant icon in the LGBTQ+ community, per the Advocate.
