Mary Earps revealed that she is in a same-sex relationship and feels ready and happy to share that publicly ahead of her memoir. She has previously kept her personal life private, with those closest to her already aware. Earps plays for Paris Saint-Germain and was previously at Manchester United. She was instrumental in England's Women's Euros win, served as vice-captain at the 2023 World Cup, and won BBC Sports Personality of the Year in 2023. Manager Tina Taylor said the revelation could inspire people to live authentically and noted the outpouring of post-World Cup support. The memoir also addresses Earps' international retirement and includes comments about her replacement, Chelsea's Hannah Hampton, which some readers found controversial.
