Christian mom blogger creates ‘modern family’ with soccer star Abby Wambach & ex-husband


Mother-of-three blogger Glennon Doyle Melton has revealed that she is engaged to retired soccer star Abby Wambach.

Melton posted a photograph to Instagram this weekend, showing two hands with rings.

The photo was captioned: ‘Abby and I decided to hold hands forever. First, fiercely, and forever @abbywambach.’

Wambach later posted the same photograph on Instagram. She included the caption: ‘Happy. #iseethemoonnow.’

Wambach is currently in the process of divorcing fellow soccer star Sarah Huffman with the guidance of a family law firm.

Melton has divorced from her husband of 14 years, and she says her ex-husband supports her relationship with Wambach and that they make a ‘beautiful, modern family’ together.

Melton wrote on Facebook that her children also loved the soccer star, branding her ‘an M&M because she looks tough on the outside but inside she’s really mushy and sweet.

‘They’re lucky kids, to be surrounded by so much love. We have family dinners together — all six of us — and Abby cooks.

‘We go to the kids’ school parties together. We are a modern, beautiful family. Our children are loved. So loved. And because of all of that love, they are brave.’

Melton’s book Love Warrior was featured in Oprah’s Book Club
