“My little girl just scored her first goal at the World Cup,” said Mark Horan, referring to his daughter Lindsey Horan, who made her World Cup debut with the USWNT in 2019. Mark’s little girl is currently captaining the USWNT, which will soon start its Paris Olympics campaign by playing against Zambia. We could expect Mark and her wife Linda to show up in Paris, as they have closely seen all the ups and downs in Lindsey Horan’s sensational career. Linda coached her daughter earlier and Mark guided her through the right path to succeed in life.

Lindsey Horan’s debut FIFA World Cup was notably hosted by France. So, it would indeed give them some déjà vu when the Horans perhaps travel to Paris and cheer the USWNT captain and her teammates for the Summer Games.

Meet Lindsey Horan’s parents and sibling

Lindsey Horan’s father Mark has played a crucial role in her education and her soccer career. Though Mark was fine with Lindsey venturing into soccer, he once prioritized her education over the sport. When the current USA captain was in high school, she got a chance to join France’s Olympique Lyonnais’ women’s youth team. Lindsey’s mother, Linda, was awestruck to see her daughter get such brilliant opportunities. However, Mark Horan insisted his daughter should complete high school and explore soccer options afterward. Nothing is known about Mark Horan’s professional background.

Lindsey Horan inherited her soccer genes from her mother Linda Horan. Linda was the coach of the first soccer team Lindsey Horan played as a five-year-old girl. Linda, to date, carries a picture of Lindsey in a yellow jersey, taken during her days with her first club. Linda has been a pillar of support to the USWNT midfielder throughout her career as a grown-up. The 30-year-old, notably, joined PSG first after rejecting a scholarship to play for the North Carolina Tar Heels team. When a young Horan found herself disheveled in a foreign city like Paris, it was Linda who instilled in her the confidence to thrive.

Mark and Linda Horan raised two children, including Lindsey Horan and her brother Mike Horan. It is unclear as to what Mike is doing. We have seen him pose for pictures with Lindsey during family gatherings. Now, find out more about Horan’s fiance Tyler Heaps.

About Lindsey Horan and Tyler Heaps’s relationship

Last year, Lindsey Horan got engaged to her long-time boyfriend and former soccer player Tyler Heaps in a private ceremony. Heaps has played for the Augsburg University, Minneapolis. He later ventured into working behind the scenes with major soccer teams. He worked closely with the US Soccer Federation during the 2019 FIFA Women’s World Cup in Paris. And that was when he first met Lindsey Horan and their love started blossoming eventually.

Horan’s fiance currently works as a technical director with France’s Ligue 1 club AS Monaco. Thanks to the Lyon star and her fiance’s French connections, the Paris Olympics will be a tournament in a home away from home for the Horan household. Only time will tell if the US captain will again make the Horans proud by going all the way to secure her maiden Olympic gold.
