Who Is Timothy Ream’s Wife? Meet Former Soccer Player Kristen Sapienza and Learn All About Their Children

At 36 years old, the ‘Grandpa’ as he is affectionately called, Timothy Ream is still going strong for the USMNT. As such, there are reports that he wants to play in the 2026 edition of the FIFA World Cup. But what is the secret to the longevity of the Fulham star? Ream has hinted multiple times previously that the credit goes to his loving family.

Unknown to many, Kristen Sapienza, wife of Timothy Ream, was also a soccer player for St Louis University. But is it the love of the beautiful game that connected the pair? Let’s dive deep into the personal life of the USMNT star.

All about Kristen Sapienza: Loving mother and supportive wife

Timothy Ream, upon seeing Kristen for the first time, was immediately drawn to her smile. He revealed that in an interview with Daily Mail. Kristen’s personality and fun nature meant that the USMNT star fell head over heels in love with her. After getting engaged in 2010, the pair tied the knot in 2012. Unlike others, Kristen prefers to keep a low profile and doesn’t even have a social media account. But, she has always been there for her husband. She even called off the honeymoon plans once due to her husband’s relentless schedule.

The couple has been blessed with 3 adorable children, Aidan, Theo, and Lilia. While Timothy Ream usually prefers to keep his private life to himself, winning the Championship with Fulham shook him on. On Instagram, the veteran defender praised his family and wrote, “This is my team behind the scenes. The ones who support and love me unconditionally and allow me to do what I do.”

With his splendid performances on the pitch, Timothy Reeam has made his family proud more often than not. However, there have been occasions when the defender has left his loved ones sad.

The moment Timothy Ream disappointed his family

Ahead of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, Timothy Ream wasn’t expecting a call-up to Gregg Berhalter’s squad for Qatar. The defender hadn’t played for the USMNT since 2021 and thought it was the end of the road for him in international football. However, that wasn’t the case as Berhalter called up the veteran star. While it was a moment of great joy for Ream, his children didn’t share the same sentiment, and for good reason.

Because when Berhalter called, Timothy Ream had already booked a trip to Disneyland with Kristen and the little ones. Upon his call-up for the World Cup, the defender had to cancel the plans at the last minute. While Aiden and Co were not happy with how things went, Ream insisted that he eventually did convince them to attend the spectacle of the FIFA World Cup.
