Brazil legend Marta announces engagement to Pride teammate Lawrence

Marta and her Orlando Pride teammate Carrie Lawrence have announced their engagement.

The Brazilian legend shared a series of pictures and videos on her Instagram account over the weekend confirming the news.

Marta, 38, and Lawrence, 27, have been in a relationship since 2022. Marta has played for the Pride since 2017, while Lawrence joined the club three years later.

Lawrence recently travelled to France to support Marta as she chased Olympic gold in her final tournament with Brazil. Marta and her teammates reached the final but ultimately came up short, settling for a silver medal after a 1-0 defeat to the United States in the final.

In 2021, Marta announced her engagement to her former Pride teammate Toni Pressley, but the couple would later break up.

After a break for the Olympics and the NWSL x Liga MX Femenil Summer Cup, the Pride will resume NWSL play on Friday when they travel to Houston to face the Dash.

Orlando is currently in first place in the NWSL, carrying an unbeaten record of 11 wins and five draws in 16 games.
