Although she was supporting England in the FIFA Women's World Cup final, Sommers was incredibly proud of the Three Lions and the way they fought throughout the final. She continued, “I just hope this momentum continues. You see little girls playing in playgrounds, and I hear of friends’ kids playing football at school. They’ve made women’s football more accessible. They’ve opened people’s eyes.”

She also explained her journey of becoming a mother, saying, “I never, ever thought I would get to be a mum. I’ve grown up thinking it wouldn’t be possible. I’ve had so many problems, so I just feel incredibly fortunate. At my age, everyone knows someone who’s going through fertility problems or who has a bad story, and I always thought I was going to be one of those stories.”
