Jordan Pickford sent a heartfelt message to his wife Megan, calling her his 'soulmate,' after England's dramatic 3-2 victory over Mexico in the FIFA World Cup 2026 round of 16.

Pickford's Heroics and Family Support
The Everton goalkeeper delivered an outstanding performance, making numerous crucial saves to keep Mexico at bay. Thousands of England fans celebrated into the early hours as pubs across the country were allowed to stay open until 5am by Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer.
Megan Pickford, who has been in the USA and Mexico supporting her husband, shared an emotional post on Instagram after the win. Posting photos of herself cheering in the crowd, she wrote: 'Just no words for tonight’s feelings, so proud of you @jpickford1 [red love heart emoji].'

Others called him 'amazing' and 'the best.' Pickford also shared his own post, writing: 'What an atmosphere. What a performance. Incredible spirit. To the quarterfinals!! El bosh.'
Family Life and World Cup Journey
The couple, who have been together for over 15 years, married in the Maldives in 2022. They share three children: son Arlo, daughter Ostara, and Misty Celine, born last April. Megan, who has 144,000 Instagram followers, often shares glimpses of their family life. Earlier in the tournament, she posted about a 'horror story' when her suitcase didn't arrive in the USA, forcing her to borrow her seven-year-old's kit. Despite the mishap, she styled a white vest with blue jeans and a cowboy hat for England's opening 4-2 win against Croatia.
