All About Alex Morgan’s Daughter Charlie Carrasco
Alex Morgan is more than just an ace on the soccer field — she’s also the proud mom of her 4-year-old daughter, Charlie Carrasco.
Morgan and her husband, Servando Carrasco, a fellow professional soccer player, welcomed their first child on May 7, 2020.
The Team USA Olympic soccer co-captain quickly took on the new challenge of being a mother, and she says it’s helped make her “more balanced” on and off the field.
“I’m able to give everything to the sport and my teams, but when I go home, I’m not dwelling on whether I had a bad training or bad game. I just have to be a mom, and tend to my child’s needs instead of overanalyzing things,” she told PEOPLE in July 2023.
The duo has had to make unique arrangements to continue playing the sport they love and be great parents at the same time, even living on different continents when she was playing for Tottenham and Servando was in Florida. Still, they’re grateful for the flexibility their lifestyles bring.
“I think that that’s really special, to not have to leave our child at home while doing what we love and playing our sport,” said Morgan. “You get the best of both worlds and that’s how it should be, but it’s not how it always was.”
These days, Morgan says the confidence she’s gotten from being a mom has affected her career in a major way. “I’m a lot more calm and level-headed in how I approach soccer now,” she said. “I’m playing my best soccer. I feel capable, like someone the younger players can look to in times of uncertainty.”
