Tobin Heath and Christen Press, beloved US soccer players, share their 8-year love story
Christen expressed, “I believe there was an element of taboo in navigating that situation. We were both forwards, competing for a spot and for playing time. Off the field, it was about establishing a relationship and figuring things out in the early stages.”
Being on different teams made things simpler. Christen said, “It became easier for us to be open about our relationship once we were no longer playing on the same team. Tobin always played ahead of me, it was inevitable.”
In the end, they both prioritized keeping their relationship private.
Tobin explained, “We wanted to create a protective bubble, to keep our relationship within the team and close friends. It felt more normal than it may seem.”
