Podcast: BFFR with Sydney Leroux & Ali RileyPublished On: Mon Oct 20 2025
Description: Scottish footballer and Angel City forward Claire Emslie joins Ali Riley for a fun, unfiltered convo on this week’s episode of BFFR! From the time they first officially met on Zoom — where Ali literally joined from a kayak — to helping Ali with her wedding day dress change, their friendship has been pure chaos in the best way. Claire opens up about her pregnancy journey, including training while expecting, using a club ultrasound machine, and what it really means to fight for moms in professional sports. We talk baby showers, AI generated babies, and whether her Michelin-trained chef and husband, is planning to make gourmet baby food. The duo dives into Claire’s incredible soccer career, from Australia to Scotland to Angel City, including her historic World Cup goal and favorite moments while playing in Los Angeles.
