Well, well, well, it seems someone thought it would be a grand idea to let her child witness the cringe-worthy aftermath of a World Cup victory celebration. Megan Pickford, the wife of England’s star goalkeeper, decided that her seven-year-old son Arlo should be front and center while she celebrated her husband’s big win against Mexico at the iconic Azteca Stadium. Because who needs dignity when you have drama, right?
In a totally tasteful Instagram moment, Megan posted a snap of her and Jordan locking lips while poor little Arlo found himself wedged awkwardly between them. Can you imagine the therapy bills? While mom and dad were busy with their passionate reunion, it’s safe to say Arlo probably wished he could disappear faster than a referee’s whistle in extra time.
Megan, clearly unbothered, later joked about the match, claiming she’d endure pints of wee thrown at her just to witness that performance again. Sweetheart, we’re not sure whether to laugh or weep for your son’s sanity.
As they bask in their glorious victory, we can’t help but wonder: is there a trophy for the Most Awkward Family Moment? Because Megan and Jordan might just be taking that home. For little Arlo, this kiss is one he’ll probably be narrating in therapy sessions for years to come.
