A former pro soccer player<\/a> was stiffed in a social media post, taking a back seat to her relatively more famous husband.<\/p>\n

Future Pro Football Hall of Famer J.J. Watt<\/a> is married to Kealia Ohai Watt, a former member of the U.S. Women’s National Team who played in the National Women’s Soccer League.<\/p>\n

The couple took in an MLS game on Wednesday night, watching Real Salt Lake take on Burnley F.C., of which the Watts are partial owners<\/span>, and the team welcomed the couple with an X post.<\/p>\n

“Welcome to the Riot, @JJWatt and fam,” the team wrote.<\/p>\n

Watt, however, was not pleased that his wife, a local soccer legend, was dismissed. Ohai attended Alta High School in nearby Sandy and won four state titles with her youth soccer club.<\/p>\n

“The woman in the photo grew up literally down the road, won 4 Utah state championships (1 in this exact stadium), Gatorade Player of the Year twice, National Player of the Year, scored the fastest first goal in USWNT history\u2026 Could probably be worth a mention, but idk,” Watt said in a reply.<\/p>\n

Ohai also won a national championship with the University of North Carolina.<\/p>\n

After college, she was the second overall pick in the NWSL College Draft by the Houston Dash, of which she was the captain from 2016 through being traded to the Chicago Red Stars in 2020.<\/p>\n

The couple purchased its stake in Burnley F.C., which played in the Premier League last season, in 2023.<\/p>\n

Ohai’s brother-in-law is Watt’s former Houston Texans<\/a> teammate, Brian Cushing.<\/p>\n
