Alex Morgan was at the ESPYs on Wednesday night and was a sight for sore eyes.
The former soccer star, who hung up her cleats in 2024, received the Icon Award and looked stunning while doing so.
Morgan announced her retirement last year, admitting that the decision wasn’t easy, but she was at peace with it.
“The impact we have on the next generation is irreversible, and I am proud of the hand I had in making that happen, pushing the game forward, and leaving it in a place that I am so happy and proud of,” she said.
She took center stage to accept the aforementioned accolade, with her legendary career with the USWNT and impact on soccer recognized as part of the event, receiving it alongside WNBA icon Diana Taurasi.
The above wasn’t the only reason Morgan was trending online, however. Cameras would pan to the two-time Women’s Soccer Athlete of the Year after host Shane Gillis made a savage joke about Bill Belichick and his relationship with 24-year-old Jordon Hudson.
“A bookie is what Bill Belichick reads to his girlfriend before bedtime,” Gillis said as the camera panned to Morgan, who clearly enjoyed the quip.
Check her out in the clip below:
“Good Lord Alex Morgan,” a fan wrote in the comments.

“They read ‘The Very Horny Caterpillar,’ ‘The Little Engine That Could But Needed A Pill First,’ and of course the classic, ‘Good Night Boobs,” Gillis added.
The comedian went on to suggest that the people complaining about Belichick are simply jealous of the legendary NFL coach.
“I’m not trashing Bill Belichick. First off, he’s 72 years old and he’s dating a 24 year old. What happened to this country?” he asked.
“He won six Super Bowls. He’s dating a hot 24 year old. Maybe if you guys won six Super Bowls, you wouldn’t be sitting next to an ugly dog wife.”
Gillis made sure to point out that Disney allowed all of his jokes, though they should have probably kept that particular one out.
