Krieger and Harris’ first child,daughter Sloane Phillips Krieger-Harris, was born on Feb. 12, 2021. At the time, they both shared photos of them with Sloane at the hospital, alongside moving messages to the birth mother and to one another.
As the couple celebrated their first Mother’s Day that May, they opened up to PEOPLE aboutwhy they decided to adopt. “I think we were very honest, like, ‘Okay, we’re ready for kids, but we’re not ready to take off a whole entire year of our career,’ which at our age could be the end,” Harris said.
“We knew immediately that adoption was what we wanted to do, so we could actually do both,” she continued. “And it has worked out incredibly and it happened so quick.”

That same month, Krieger and Harris opened up to PEOPLE abouthow they are putting in the workto thoughtfully raise daughter Sloane, who is Black and Puerto Rican.
“I think for what’s going on in our culture, it’s really just sitting back and listening and doing our research and giving the floor to our teammates who are Black and having them, not educate us, but really lead us in the right direction. And it’s our job to listen,” Krieger said.
“We’re just diving into the work and understanding what diversity means in our home, first and foremost,” Krieger said. “That goes to dolls, magazines, food, the people, the diversity in our lives, everything matters. We want her to feel that we are celebrating her culture in our own home first, but making sure that that’s the same in her school, and with our nanny and all the things like that, it really does matter.”
Krieger added, “We’re taking diversity courses online, we’re doing the work we need to do to make sure she gets to celebrate her culture.”

The month prior, Harris and Kriegeropened up to PEOPLE about their support system, noting that Sloane had some “powerhouse aunties,” including USWNT teammates Megan Rapinoe and Alex Morgan as well as their fellow Orlando Pride players Sydney Leroux and Marta.
“[They] are going to really show her that she can do anything she puts her mind to. And I think that’s incredible," Harris said. She added that she’s also “going to be held accountable," joking, “All these aunties are great, but, man, they’re hard. They’re competitive, too. She’s going to learn the ropes quickly.”
In aninterview with PEOPLE in August 2022, the couple spoke about Sloane’s eating habits, saying she is on a “mostly plant-based” diet, though some of her other favorite snacks include yogurt, crackers and Yumi bars, and she gets excited for a “colorful” plate.
