Things are happening too fast for Duncan McGuire. From the NCAA to the national team, the star has come a long way in a short period. The Orlando City SC striker’s excellent performances in MLS after getting in from the 2023 SuperDraft led him to former coach Gregg Berhalter’s team earlier this year. With 23 goals and 4 assists already in a senior club career, he is one of the key players now to bear the burden of the USMNT’s attack in the 2024 Paris Olympics.

On the other hand, McGuire’s family will be his strength and support during this time. With the star claiming to be very close to his younger brother and being influenced by his father during his early days, it is intriguing to know about McGuire’s kin. Hence, let’s take a tour into the near and dear of McGuire.

Delving deep into the diverse family of Duncan Mcguire

Duncan McGuire was born on Feb 5, 2001, in Omaha, Nebraska. At 5, he took up soccer and fell in love with the sport growing up. On the other hand, his family might have been caught off guard as their interests lay in alternative sports. His father Brian McGuire is also reportedly from Omaha. Although details about his age and profession remain a mystery, Duncan claimed he used to play basketball in his early days. However, his mother Tara McGuire, also hails from the same city and is reportedly the Vice President of Creighton University’s finance department.

Growing up, Duncan played multiple sports but decided on the beautiful game at 9. His father took him to practice regularly as his mother was busy with his sister at volleyball.

That’s why Duncan calls his dad his ‘grade-school coach,’ but one of his best friends and motivators has been his brother, Holden.

McGuire’s heartwarming sibling bond and relationships revealed

The USMNT striker has two siblings, brother Holden and sister Maren. Holden is three years younger than Duncan and has Down Syndrome and the challenges he faced leading a regular life have created a strong bond between him and the USMNT star. Claiming him to be his best friend, the 23-year-old said, “He always has a smile on his face which teaches me you can’t be mad about the little thing,” citing that he also makes him a better person. Holden is reportedly a Lionel Messi fan and gets in touch with his older brother almost daily on FaceTime.

On the other hand, his sister expresses her appreciation for the star and the USMNT on X (previously Twitter), regularly. As for his dating life, nothing has been announced, but according to his Instagram, he may be dating a lady named Gabby. With 3600 followers on the platform, her details also remain concealed.

Since the family is expected to be in France to cheer him for the Olympics, it remains to see how the pumped-up star will do at the 2024 Games. But one thing is certain, his family is already proud of where he has reached and will be confident of his upcoming spell.
