 Wambach lives in Portland , Oregon ; Hermosa Beach , California ; and Buffalo , New York . She has an English bulldog named Kingston . On October 5 , 2013 , she married her longtime partner , Sarah Huffman , in Hawaii . Wambach was amused by the level of media attention generated by the marriage and emphasized that the event was not a political statement and did not represent a coming out , because she had never been closeted : " I can 't speak for other people , but for me , I feel like gone are the days that you need to come out of a closet . I never felt like I was in a closet . I never did . I always felt comfortable with who I am and the decisions I made . "
