Rapinoe isn’t always as confident as she seems on the field. In a 2021 interview with GQ, she recalled first meeting Bird at a photo shoot for the 2016 Olympics and jokingly asking if she was headed to a game: “I walked away like, ‘You’re an idiot.’”
In 2017, Bird told ESPNW, “I’m gay. Megan’s my girlfriend. These aren’t secrets to people who know me.” A week later, Bird shared a photo with Rapinoe on Instagram for the first time.
