Abby Wambach, the US women’s soccer legend, is getting hitched again.
Wambach shared the news Sunday night on Instagram that she is getting married to partner Glennon Doyle Melton, a Christian blogger. The announcement comes three months after Wambach announced the two were dating.
Wambach, the all-time leading scorer in international soccer history, was previously married to Sarah Huffman, also a former professional soccer player. They divorced after Wambach was arrested and pleaded guilty to drunk driving in Portland in April 2016.
Melton is an accomplished author, known for her 2014 New York Times bestseller “Carry On, Warrior: The Power of Embracing Your Messy, Beautiful Life,” and a 2016 memoir, entitled “Love Warrior.” She is the creator of the online community Momastery, and like Wambach, has discussed her battle with addiction. Melton also announced her divorce last summer, from Craig Melton, her husband of 14 years.
And then one day it all makes sense. Every bit of it. And you can finally see your past as one long, blessed road leading you home. And you understand that every bit of it was necessary and that every bit of it was holy. Thank you for being my home @abbywambach . I love us.
