The USWNT boss Emma Hayes took intense heat for selecting Korbin Albert for their 18-player Olympic roster. At the heart of the backlash was Albert’s previous social media posts that were homophobic and transphobic. However, Hayes assured that she straightened the 20-year-old out. The coach added that the PSG star’s ace midfield services are paramount for the USWNT to thrive in the Paris Olympics. Controversies aside, it is a monumental feat that Korbin Albert landed a PSG deal and is soon to be an Olympian at such a young age. Well, it’s not a big surprise either. She comes from a family full of athletes.

So, let’s dive a bit deeper into the USWNT midfielder’s family, which boasts a rich legacy of housing both college and pro athletes.

There is hardly any detail available on Korbin Albert’s father. The USWNT star also has not shared a picture with her father or wrote about her father on social media. Albert grew up in Grayslake, Illinois as the youngest of six children. Albert’s mom, Janet, who raised six children, was an athlete during her college days. Janet was an all-American in track and field in Iowa. It is unclear as to what profession the Iowa alumnus is practicing now.

Korbin Albert’s siblings have also inherited the athletic gene from Janet. Her brothers, DJ and Keaton, played soccer during their college days. DJ plied his trade for the University of Cincinnati.

Now, let’s look into other personal details of Korbin Albert and also examine if she is dating someone.

Korbin Albert sporadically posts about her big wins as a soccer player. A mainstay in PSG, Korbin has time and again crossed paths with former PSG megastar Kylian Mbappe. Besides, she also showcases glimpses of her fun-filled off-pitch activities which are a result of her hard-earned fortune. The 20-year-old is a devout Christian. However, she faced flak for sharing a sermon that essentially meant being gay was wrong. Anyhow, that anti-LGBTQIA+ fiasco is an episode of the past, as the PSG midfielder publicly apologized for her mistake.

It seems like Korbin Albert is not dating anyone at the moment. We have not seen her post an intimate picture with a partner. Besides, no rumor or report romantically links Albert with someone. While there is a lot left to uncover about her personal life, there is no doubt that she has started strongly as a pro soccer player. 2023 was Albert’s year. That was when she joined PSG and she also received the call-up to the USWNT. Notably, a day before getting the NT call-up, the 20-year-old inked an endorsement deal with Nike.

Now that she is an Olympian, you know what big prize awaits her to amp up her already impressive resume.
