In a heartwarming celebration, former professional soccer player Ashlyn Harris and her ex-wife Ali Krieger came together to shower their daughter Sloane with love on her third birthday. The couple, who recently filed for divorce after nearly four years of marriage, set aside their differences to mark this special occasion.
Harris took to Instagram on Monday to share a series of adorable photos from Sloane's Minnie Mouse-themed party. Dressed up as the beloved Disney character, Sloane couldn't contain her joy as she indulged in a delicious cupcake. Krieger, beaming with love, planted a sweet kiss on her daughter's cheek. The pictures also captured a heartwarming moment of Harris carrying Sloane and their 17-month-old son Ocean, standing under a vibrant banner of balloons.
As she celebrated Sloane's birthday, Harris expressed her love and pride as a mother in the caption accompanying the photos. 'Happy Birthday Sweetheart. We love you. I can't believe my baby is 3 today,' she wrote. 'May you shine all your light into this world. You truly are a gift to us all. I am so proud to be your Momma.'
The couple's divorce, which had been initiated months before the public announcement, did not prevent them from coming together to celebrate their daughter's special day as a united front. While the reasons for their separation remain personal, it is evident that their focus remains on co-parenting with love and respect.
Following the news of their divorce, Krieger also shared a heartwarming photo on her social media. It depicted her cozying up at home with Sloane and Ocean, radiating happiness and contentment. Accompanied by a sticker that read 'My happy place,' the image spoke volumes about the strength of their family bond.
In a recent moment of triumph, Krieger's children joined her on the field as Gotham FC paid tribute to her final home season in the National Women's Soccer League. Surrounded by her teammates, fans, and loved ones, Krieger marked the end of an era with her two beautiful kids by her side. The touching occasion immortalized the tremendous support and adoration she has received throughout her career.
Expressing her gratitude, Krieger took to social media to share snippets from the memorable night, expressing her heartfelt appreciation for the love and support she had encountered. 'Thank you for an unforgettable night celebrating with my two beautiful kids, family, best friends, teammates, fans, and incredible @gothamfc staff! I will never forget you,' Krieger wrote.
As Sloane turned three amidst the complexities of her parents' divorce, her birthday celebration serves as a reminder that love and unity can prevail even during challenging times. Despite the changes their family may be going through, Harris and Krieger's commitment to prioritizing their children's happiness shines brightly. Their unwavering love for Sloane and Ocean continues to be the guiding force in their journey as parents, deserving admiration and applause.
