She co-hosted a women’s soccer podcast called Snacks with teammate Sam Mewis and appeared in a Netflix documentary on the USWNT’s 2023 World Cup journey.

Her husband is the winner of Big Brother Australia 2021. They met while studying at Pepperdine and had an 18-month long-distance relationship due to Lynn's soccer commitments in the U.S.
