"I blinked and my little girl is not so little anymore. confident & fearless & curious & sweet & sassy all in one and I wouldn't change a thing. Happy 5th baby girl."

Morgan missed the NWSL Challenge Cup in 2020 and stayed locked in for a while due to the COVID-19 pandemic before returning to Orlando Pride in September. She made her National team comeback in November, building up to the 2021 Tokyo Olympics. She played all six matches in the quadrennial Games and anchored her team to the bronze medal podium.

Alex Morgan and her husband welcomed their second-born son, Enzo, on March 30, 2025. Since then, the duties manifolded amid the former soccer player's struggles with postpartum. In an Instagram post, the Olympic gold medalist shared a picture of her bare belly and expressed amazement while discussing the wonders a woman's body can do.

"A woman’s body is insane. Real talk. We carry a child for 9 months, push them out of our bodies (in my case 20hrs of labor, and 4hrs of pushing 🙃) then boom, here you go, back to reality—with barely any recovery time. Truly amazed by what women are capable of…from world championships to motherhood."

In 2015, Time ranked Alex Morgan as the top-paid female soccer player in the US. She also joined Steph Catley and Christine Sinclair to become the first players (female) to feature on the 2015 FIFA video games' cover.
