Personal life
Solo was born in Richland, Washington on July 30, 1981. Her father Jeffrey, of Italian descent who grew up in the Bronx, was a sometimes-homeless Vietnam War veteran. It was Jeffrey who taught her how to play soccer. Although her parents divorced when she was six and she lived with her mother, Solo maintained a close relationship with her father, who continued to be a major influence in her life until his sudden death of heart failure in June 2007.
On August 29, 2011, Solo was confirmed to be a contestant on the 13th season of Dancing with the Stars. She is paired with professional dancer Maksim Chmerkovskiy. She was serenaded by Sporting KC player C. J. Sapong when the National Team practiced in Kansas City September 15, 2011.
