Is Kirsten Josh Sargent’s Wife?
As earlier mentioned, there are 2 reports with respect to their marriage. Some reports maintain that the couple became married in January 2022 while others focus on the information that they are only engaged.
As to why it is believed that they are married, NorfolkLive report that Norwich boss, Dean Smith said that Sargent missed a game because his [Josh] “wife” had the couple’s child.
This suggests that the couple was married before the birth of the child and before January 13 2022 when the report was published.
Despite this, the partners have not released any content suggesting marriage as far as we know. Instead, what is found on Kirsten’s Instagram page is a picture of herself and Josh that suggests an engagement in 2020. The image was accompanied by many congratulatory messages.

Romy Sargent is the daughter of Josh Sargent and Kirsten Lepping. She was born as the first and only child of the couple in January 2022.
Romy’s birth caused Josh to miss a match against West Ham United. The game ended in favor of West Ham with 2 goals against Norwich (0 goals).
At the time of this writing, the young Romy enjoys appearing on Kirsten’s social media pages.
Kirsten Lepping started her love life with Josh Sargent while they were teenagers, but are not married. What remains hanging is whether their long-term love affair may lead to marriage as in the case of footballers such as Argentina’s Lionel Messi and Brazil’s Raphinha who met their wives (Antonella Rocuzzo and Taia Rodrigues respectively) while they were young and subsequently became married. Since the couple is engaged, there are chances that they may become married and continue to raise their daughter.
