She posted a message on her Instagram Stories after the arrest. She said she’d be able to share what was going on in her life at the time of her arrest "in due time."

"Our family is strong and surrounded with love. Our kids are strong, intelligent, happy and vibrant, and we are present every day giving them the best life possible," she wrote.

"… In the meantime, our kids are enjoying the NC sun, eating popsicles and playing on our property. "Life can be tough, but these are truly the moments that matter. I feel blessed to have this kind of love in my life."

According to an arrest warrant, a witness saw the 40-year-old former U.S. women’s soccer star passed out behind the steering wheel for more than an hour with the car’s engine running and the two children in the back seat. An officer who responded to the scene said they could smell the alcohol and that she refused a field sobriety test, according to the warrant.
