CLINT DEMPSEY has stunned Kate Abdo with an unexpected health update to kick off their Champions League coverage.
Merely seconds into their show on CBS Sports, Demsey, 40, opted to reveal he’d had an intimate procedure.

Seemingly to the surprise of everybody in the studio, he responded: “Well, I’ve got the snip since the last time I’ve been in. No more kids.”
Fellow analysts Jamie Carragher and Micah Richards immediately burst out into laughter.
Carragher swiftly asked: “What was it like?”
To which Dempsey said: “It wasn’t as bad as I thought it was gonna be to be honest.”
The former USMNT star went on to reveal that he was awake throughout the vasectomy.
Unsurprisingly, viewers swiftly took to X, formerly known as Twitter, to comment on the unexpected comment.
One fan asked: “Why did he feel the need to reveal that” along with a laughing emoji.
To which another viewer responded: “Because he is a grown man with emotional intelligence and willing to use his platform to show other men that these things are ok and good to talk about.
“Legends do that kind of stuff.”
As a third added: “Welcome to the club @clint_dempsey.”
But this isn’t the first time the father of six has raised the topic on-air.
Last September, during another Champions League broadcast on CBS Sports, Dempsey responded “Gotta get the snip” when Abdo mentioned that his sixth child was on the way.
He went on to joke: “That’s why I’m here, gotta pay for college. College is not cheap.”
Dempsey retired back in 2018 after a lengthy career which saw him play for the likes of Fulham, Tottenham, and the U.S.
