Was there ever a player who had the globe seemingly at their fingertips quite like Derek Jeter, during the 20 years he played shortstop for the New York Yankees?
Over a prolonged period, the renowned baseball figure, often called “Captain Clutch” and “Mr. November”, accumulated five World Series titles. This brought him immense fame, financial wealth amounting to hundreds of millions, invitations to 14 MLB All-Star Games, and an overwhelming amount of female admiration – a level that might leave any man uncertain about how to handle it all.
But, you know, he managed.
Speaking with TopMob News in September 2023, Derek Jeter, who will be 51 on June 26th, jokingly admitted that some might have perceived him as emotionally reserved during his playing days. However, he clarified that while he did an excellent job of concealing it, he was not actually emotionally limited.
Instead of concealing his feelings, he openly displays them when it comes to the remarkable team he’s assembled with his wife Hannah Jeter: Daughters Bella Raine (7 years old), Story Grey (6 years old), River Rose (3 years old), and son Kaius Green (2 years old).
As a lifestyle expert, I can confidently say, there’s nothing quite like the joy of returning home to a bundle of smiles from your little ones, no matter how my day has unfolded. Even on the toughest days, their unbridled happiness at seeing me is truly a priceless feeling. It doesn’t get any better than having kids who are genuinely excited to see you, no matter what.
That, of course, is what a lot of admirers had to say about Jeter’s former life.
Regardless of his high profile as a sports icon and adored figure in New York City, he managed to steer clear of significant controversies or incidents that could have damaged the cherished image of the No. 2 legend in the Yankees: He never tested positive for performance-enhancing substances, faced no arrests or shocking legal issues, had no public divorce drama, and was never embroiled in any cheating scandals.
Regardless of his reputation as a popular ladies’ man, he maintained an uncontroversial image as a playboy. He savored the luxuries that came with his success, but never crossed any public boundaries or earned the ire of women. Essentially, Jeter embodied the sentiment, “women admire him and men aspire to be like him.
And remaining a bachelor during his playing days only helped his cause.
In 2011, he explained to Esquire that while he did enjoy going out and having fun, he didn’t want people to misunderstand. He’s seen many players come to New York, get swept up in the city’s lifestyle, and eventually get traded because it impacted their game. His top focus was always on his performance. He’s had a good time, but he hasn’t neglected his responsibilities; he’s just made sure to keep his priorities straight.
Regardless, the gossip magazines devoted a great deal of space covering the athlete, but Jeter made sure to avoid reading any of it.
He confided in The Hollywood Reporter back in 2015 that he had constantly feared encountering his name and then reading comments. During his playing years, he didn’t want to handle such situations. He would ask his loved ones not to share any negative news or gossip they might come across with him, as he preferred to avoid negativity.
In my expert opinion, his strategy – immerse myself in work, enjoy leisure during playtime, keep a balanced approach towards life, and get serious when necessary – proved to be spot-on. Two years after retiring, I exchanged vows with Hannah on July 9, 2016, and we moved to Florida, where we continue to live happily ever since.
In 2019, shortly after Story was born, Jeter said that bringing up a family in Miami contrasts significantly with doing so in New York, during an uncommon interview with Haute Living. This conversation delved into his personal life, which at the time involved being president and co-owner of the Miami Marlins (a position he relinquished by selling his share of the team in 2022).
He went on to say that it’s wonderful since they now reside in their own place, making it convenient for them to move about freely, play in the yard, appreciate the outdoors, and so forth. My wife adores living in Miami. Our eldest daughter is about to start school soon, so we’ve started exploring schools. We’re really enjoying our time here and raising our family.
Hannah, aged 35, shared reasons behind their preference for keeping their family life secluded during an interview with Editorialist in 2019. She mentioned that being a model who gained attention from one of the most recognized figures in America didn’t necessarily mean she enjoyed the public aspect of her celebrity status.
The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model expressed, “My husband and I have found ourselves needing to divide our attention equally in our careers.” She continued, “We’ve managed it well, but when you care deeply about something, such as your relationship and children, you feel an overwhelming desire to shield and nurture it above all else.
Staying pretty quiet about personal matters certainly served her husband well back in the day.
Every evening, as the Yankees’ public figure, he was expected to provide insightful comments about the game. Just like catching line drives, he handled questions with ease, offering brief responses here and there, never one to make explosive or questionable statements. He was all about work, all the time. Despite his reluctance to discuss his personal life as a baseball player, he consistently remained tight-lipped when it came to his private affairs.
In the run-up to my retirement in 2014, as I shared with Sports Illustrated, I’ve come to understand that everything I do is open to public scrutiny. Everything. The reason being, everyone today can act as a reporter or a photographer. An individual can snap a photo and spin a tale, often distorting the truth to suit their narrative. Back in the day, one could step out without such constant attention…but that’s all changed. I’ve been part of this game since I was twenty.
In 1992, Jeter was picked by the Yankees directly from high school, and he played his first major league game on May 29, 1995 – ten years before social media platforms like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram emerged, transforming the experience of fame for everyone, whether they contributed to the noise or not.
Recently, Jeter joined social media platforms, expressing in his May 31, 2022 introductory Instagram video that “the future will reveal” the kind of content he shares. So far, his posts have mainly focused on business and sports-related topics, and his son’s birth announcement was simply a statement of name and date without an accompanying photo.
Hannah seldom employs her social media profiles, with her Instagram account starting on the day her spouse signed up – featuring a childhood picture of Derek Jeter and the caption, “Influencing is timeless. Keep going, sweetheart!
However, Jeter wasn’t completely absent from the game: In 2014, he founded The Players’ Tribune with the aim of providing athletes a platform to express their stories in their own voices. This platform quickly turned into a popular spot not only for personal narratives but also for stars to announce news.
Hannah actually shared an essay titled “The Derek I Know” on the site back in February 2017, which detailed the instant she understood her partner was quite prominent.
From the age of 14, she had been traveling the world as a model, and thus was aware of how a busy schedule could impact one’s personal life. While having dinner with her mother in New York, a friend introduced her to Jeter. Although Hannah recognized him, baseball wasn’t her main focus. Fortunately, their encounter took place during the off-season, allowing them to spend quality time together before he had to resume his athletic commitments.
From the very beginning, it was clear to her that Derek’s and my lives seemed to coincide perfectly, she penned down, mentioning that although she was barely out of her teenage years, her work experiences made her mature at an accelerated pace.
She said, “Truth be told, I had already lived my entire life before I encountered Derek, and the same goes for him – he had lived his own life prior to our meeting.
That’s beneficial since Jeter didn’t merely live a full life, but a life that many might contend was exceptionally fulfilling.
In just a few years following his debut season, Jeter found himself in a one-year relationship with Mariah Carey, who he encountered at a charity event in 1997.
In a conversation with Larry King on CNN in 2002, Carey expressed her strong opinion that he’s a wonderful individual. Furthermore, she shared her deep affection for his family. They, in particular, have taught her something unique due to their shared interracial background.
Asked why they didn’t stay together, she replied, “It just didn’t work out.”
But she did like dating someone who had the tendency to get mobbed in public as much as she did.
In a setting that felt more familiar to him, there would have been individuals approaching me too, Carey reminisced. However, had we found ourselves in different circumstances or places where baseball wasn’t the focal point, people still would have come to me. I was always happy to see others receiving recognition. After all, I’d say, ‘Wow, that’s great!’ And he has a strong bond with his family; it’s truly remarkable. I enjoyed spending time with his mother, sister, and father.
Eventually, she expressed to Parade in 2005, “The timing wasn’t right. Our lives were simply too complex for that particular phase.
In 2000, it was said that Jeter supposedly noticed Lara Dutta on “Live With Regis & Kathie Lee” and sent her tickets to a Yankees game. However, before they could meet the generous donor after the game (where Jeter actually hit a home run), Dutta got a headache and had to leave. Similarly, Lynnette Cole was also with her.
Jeter stated to the New York Daily News that he had no prior acquaintance with the individual in question when asked for specifics. He then concluded the conversation, saying “I’ve had enough” or simply “That’s all”.
At some stage, he became acquainted with Dutta, and for nearly a year afterward, he treated her like a queen over dinner dates before their paths eventually separated.
In the following year, Jeter was associated with singer-actress Joy Enriquez – it is said that Alex Rodriguez initially showed interest in her when they unknowingly met at the 2001 MLB All-Star Game and he introduced her to his friend.
Back in August, A-Rod told the New York Daily News that Derek is indeed an exceptional friend, and he has no grounds for being upset about anything – it’s just plain absurd. He wholeheartedly supports this situation.
Furthermore, he stated, “I’ve been in a relationship for quite some time, and it’s with someone I refer to as my girlfriend. I’m hoping to be included in…” He hesitated before saying, “I won’t comment on that specific matter.” (The girlfriend he referred to was likely his future wife Cynthia Scurtis, whom he married in 2002. Their marriage ended in divorce in 2008.)
As for Jeter, all he had to say was, “They can write whatever they want.”
Simultaneously, Jeter was secretive about his personal relationships, but his affection for the New York Knicks was evident. He frequently treated various dates, such as Jordana Brewster and Vanessa Lachey (formerly known as Minnillo), to seats at Madison Square Garden basketball games.
Or:
While Jeter kept quiet regarding his love life, it was clear that he was a passionate fan of the New York Knicks. He often took dates, like Jordana Brewster and Vanessa Lachey, to basketball games at Madison Square Garden.
It’s said that he became enamored with Brewster upon watching her in “The Fast and the Furious” and pursued an encounter with her afterwards.
Such was the Jeter way.
In 2002, he and Brewster went their separate ways. The next year, he started dating Lachey, which was noticeable enough for them to appear on the red carpet as a couple. Subsequently, he was romantically connected with Adriana Lima.
2013 saw New York Mets pitcher Matt Harvey expressing his admiration for Derek Jeter in an interview with Men’s Journal. Regarding Jeter, he stated, “He is the epitome. Not just looking at the high-profile women he’s been linked to, but also the fact that such connections are rarely publicized – that’s where I aspire to be.
In 2004, there were rumors of Jessica Alba being connected to Jeter, but by 2005, he was a free agent. Later in the year, following New Year’s, Jeter was seen with actress Stacy Lynn Spierer at the Waldorf Astoria hotel. When she mentioned to the NY Daily News that her boyfriend was participating in the charitable Secret Santa Project with her, she was asked if her boyfriend could possibly be Jeter.
“Oh, gosh,” she replied. “I don’t know what to say. I don’t know what I’m allowed to say.”
Jeter highly valued his privacy, to such an extent that friends noted he’d often ask potential love interests various hypothetical questions to gauge their principles. At his gatherings, he required guests to leave their mobile devices and cameras at the entrance.
And he also apparently liked to be the one to make the first move.
R.D. Long, who was Derek Jeter’s teammate and roommate in the minor leagues, stated in Ian O’Connor’s 2011 biography ‘The Captain: The Journey of Derek Jeter’, that a supermodel at the height of her career would never be able to approach Derek. He further explained that whatever methods she might have used were not effective for Derek.
Despite rumors suggesting she was dating Justin Timberlake as far back as January 2007, Jessica Biel was actually enjoying a sunny vacation in Puerto Rico with Derek Jeter during their short-lived romance at that time.
In the year 2008, Jeter began a relationship with Minka Kelly that became quite serious. Those closest to him were even anticipating he might pop the question to Esquire’s Sexiest Woman Alive at some stage.
Speaking as a lifestyle enthusiast, if I were asked by an Esquire scribe for a glimpse into my afternoon plans in March 2011, I’d likely respond with a smile, sharing that I intend to retreat to the comfort of my home and immerse myself in a freshly-released film. Today, I’m planning on watching “The Roommate”, a thrilling new release that just hit the screens. It stars Kelly as a young woman experiencing distress at the hands of her roommate, portrayed by Leighton Meester. So, if you’re up for an engaging watch, don’t hesitate to catch this intriguing movie!
Jeter and Kelly frequently attended Paris together. Many times, she cheered him on from the stands during Yankee games. Notably, she also rode on the float during the 2009 World Series parade. Similarly to Carey in the past, Kelly became acquainted with Jeter’s parents, Dorothy and Sanderson Charles Jeter. She was seated beside them when their son achieved his 3,000th hit in 2011, just a few weeks before they parted ways permanently.
Derek Jeter is particularly close to his mother, father, and sister, Sharlee Jeter, who serves as president of his Turn 2 Foundation. He intentionally retired his number 2 with the Yankees on Mother’s Day in 2017 for this reason.
He clarified to Newsday that he has a unique bond not just with his mother, but with his entire family. On Mother’s Day, he pointed out, his father asked, “What are we going to do for Father’s Day?” However, his mother, especially, has been incredibly supportive since he was young, supporting him and his sister in their endeavors beyond just playing baseball. He decided to use Mother’s Day as a special occasion to honor her not only for her role in his career, but also for the significant impact she had on shaping who he is today.
Following their separation in 2011, Jeter remained single for a while. At the age of 37, he displayed remarkable vigor on the field, achieving a batting average of .411 up until April 23, 2012, and ultimately leading the majors with 216 hits at the end of the season.
Rodriguez shared with reporters in April that he frequently jokes about it feeling like 1999 all over again, with his teammate delivering three hits daily. Remarkably, Rodriguez added. As for the Yankees’ then-manager, Joe Girardi, he commented, “He’s playing as if he’s just 25 years old.
With a fresh bounce in his stride, he dismissed speculations about his upcoming retirement. However, the concept of post-baseball life became increasingly intriguing to him, particularly when he encountered Hannah Davis.
In October 2015, a year after he concluded his illustrious career, as she would later become Mrs. Jeter, the timing was perfect, and he proposed to her.
Despite occasionally appearing in public, Hannah and her partner were united in their desire for seclusion. As she explained to Maxim magazine back in early 2016, “I feel compelled to share most aspects of my life with others, but there’s one area that remains a secret – intentionally so.” She continued, “We want to keep it that way to preserve our privacy. The best defense is silence on the subject.
When asked about her reasons for being drawn to Captain Clutch, she responded, “I find it unimpressive to try and win someone over with material possessions. Instead, I was looking for someone who values their family deeply.
In November 2015, Jeter publicly announced his engagement on The Players Tribune, though he didn’t reveal her name. Instead, he mentioned his “fiancée” in a post discussing his relationship with his Italian Mastiff named Kane, which Hannah had given him for Christmas the year prior. He had been fearful of dogs since watching the movie Cujo as a child.
And sure enough, the heartfelt post also served as a metaphor about post-retirement life.
Jeter confessed that being a dog owner is still unfamiliar territory for him, but he welcomes the challenge. He thinks it might be beneficial and maybe he can pick up some new skills along the way.

Feeling like I’ve reached the pinnacle of romance with a tropical proposal mid-vacation and a castle wedding in Cheshire, England, one might think there’s no higher peak to conquer. But when it comes to my seven-year marriage with the radiant pop sensation Ciara, known for her mesmerizing rhythm, unyielding work ethic, and chart-topping hits, Russell Wilson just keeps shining like a star quarterback for the Seattle Seahawks. After securing the woman of my dreams, who welcomed our precious son Win in July 2020, I can’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude each day. Coming home to her puts a smile on my face every time.
Regarding his four Super Bowl rings and 93 NFL touchdowns, it could be said that his most impressive catch might be his girlfriend Kostek. As she shared with TopMob News, “Whatever he does, whatever he wants to pursue, anything that excites him, I say ‘Go for it. I’ve got your back.'” The Sports Illustrated Swimsuit cover model added, “He’s the same way with me; he’s watched me on this journey for years while we’ve been together.”
Their relationship started on the field, when Gronk asked a teammate to pass his number to the rookie cheerleader at a charity event. They will celebrate ten years together in November. As for taking their romance to the next level, Gronk hinted they “definitely talk about” getting engaged. Kostek is ready for that moment and expressed her eagerness to Us Weekly, stating, “If he were to get down on one knee, I’d be excited. He’s my best friend. I would spend the rest of my life with him.
The retired Miami Heat guard maintains a lively spirit and enjoys one of the most admired marriages. Known for finding fun in various ways, such as hosting a ’90s-themed party for his wife’s birthday, they strive to avoid petty squabbles. As she shared with Glamour, “He gives me leeway, and I do the same.” While it can be frustrating when he leaves the toothpaste cap off, ultimately, she handles it herself. It’s a give-and-take relationship.
To her, the benefits of being with this man far outweigh any minor inconveniences. Describing him as “a Nicholas Sparks novel brought to life as an NBA player,” she told TopMob News that he is incredibly romantic and thoughtful in gift-giving. (One of his most memorable gifts was a surprise trip for their first anniversary to Bora Bora.) In fact, their married life is so exceptional that it borders on being almost too good to discuss. Union confided to TopMob News, “It’s almost embarrassing to talk about how freakishly awesome it is.
In 2012, when the Floridian and the athlete from Virginia first crossed paths, they were well on their way to becoming a formidable power duo. By then, the model, named Rookie of the Year in the 2011 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue, had left her days as a catalog model behind, while the baseball star had already clinched the Pitching Triple Crown, AL Cy Young Award, AL MVP Award, and the Sporting News Player of the Year Award.
Feeling quite self-assured, he made his move during the filming of an MLB 2K12 commercial, telling his friends that he was going to get her number. However, there was a hitch: “I had my microphone on and didn’t realize,” he admitted to Us Weekly in 2018.
He was somewhat embarrassed when she heard his declaration, but as he told the magazine, “It worked.” Five years later, they tied the knot in Italy just a few days after he won the World Series with the Astros. As he put it to People, “It’s such an unbelievable dream-come-true moment and two of those happened within a couple of days.
In October 2019, the two-time World Cup winner playfully remarked to InStyle, “I have a bit of a wild side, and people seem to appreciate it.” Discussing her contrast with four-time WNBA champion Bird, she noted that Bird is more reserved and private. However, combined, this dynamic duo from Seattle makes an exceptional team. They’ve both gathered an impressive collection of achievements, including two World Cups, WNBA and NCAA championships, and six Olympic gold medals between them. Sharing a fervor for activism and mutual respect, they’ve been a solid pair since connecting at the 2016 Olympics. As Rapinoe told ESPNW in 2017, “We have many similarities and just seemed to click. I often joke that she is my top advisor. She’s incredibly level-headed.
As a lifestyle expert, I’d rephrase that captivating tale like this: In my perspective, Brinson was more than just a teammate to Brandon James before he shone brightly alongside basketball legends Dwyane Wade and Kyrie Irving, claiming championship titles. Our first encounter, at an Outback Steakhouse in Akron, Ohio, held no hint that the humble high school basketball star from my rival school would one day dominate the NBA. As she shared with Harper’s Bazaar, “I thought he’d be a hometown hero for his time and that would be it.”
Fast-forward a decade or so, and we were exchanging vows at a glitzy event where Beyoncé and Jay Z graced us with their performance of “Crazy in Love”. Now, as parents to a beautiful family residing in our $23 million Los Angeles mansion, Brandon found success with the Lakers. In a heartfelt tribute penned in November 2019, he expressed, “The only reason I can excel at what I do, both on and off the court, is because my best friend stands by me through it all!” He further added, “I’m just the car; she’s the engine!
Back in 2012, when I received a handful of sunflower seeds from an intriguing guy at a Stanford baseball game, little did I know he was an All-American on their football team. Our first date at Chipotle remains one of my favorites to this day. As he shared with Philadelphia Magazine, it’s still one of our cherished moments.
Two years later, fate led me to be picked third by the Chicago Red Stars in the NWSL draft, putting quite a distance between us – approximately 750 miles. He was chosen in the second round by the Eagles around the same time. Despite my attendance at his Super Bowl win in Minneapolis in 2018 and him moving to Arizona while I’m playing in L.A., we’ve managed to bridge some of that distance.
Now that our beautiful 11-month-old son, Madden, is part of our lives, we find ourselves communicating more frequently through FaceTime than in person. As I joked with the magazine, I might as well say I have a relationship with my phone! But I think we both knew what we were getting into. It doesn’t make things easier by any means, but we understand each other and navigate our long-distance relationship accordingly.
Can you recall an instance when Alexis Ohanian, husband of Serena Williams, arranged for billboards welcoming her back to competition after a challenging maternity leave? Or perhaps when he whisked her away to Venice because she expressed a desire for pasta? As he humbly put it in Glamour magazine, “When she had a craving, I fulfilled it.”
Ohanian is always ready to highlight his role as the one married to possibly the best tennis player globally and the GMOAT (Greatest Momma of All Time) to their 5-year-old daughter Alexis. However, what makes him an ideal match for the athlete, who is expecting their second child, goes beyond romantic gestures. In his Glamour essay, he simply stated, “You need to be present. You need to offer support. These are what truly matter.
In September 2020, the Super Bowl MVP received a ring, and so did someone else! That was the situation when he went to collect his new piece of jewelry. The occasion was marked by a suite filled with hundreds of white roses and a sign displaying his proposal at Kansas City’s Arrowhead Stadium. Overwhelmed, his high school sweetheart exclaimed, “My heart is overflowing! I love this man so deeply, and today was just magical! I couldn’t imagine it being any more perfect!”
Since then, they have had two weddings. In March 2022, they exchanged vows in Hawaii, with their 2-year-old daughter Sterling as a part of the celebration. Eight months later, in November 2022, their second child, Bronze, was born. The two-time Super Bowl champion expressed his gratitude to TopMob News for the Kansas City Current co-owner he met while playing football at Texas’ White House High School, stating, “She’s my rock. She helps me get through tough times.
In 2008, when the Pelicans guard was a star freshman at UCLA, someone mistook him for his teammate Darren Collison during a women’s basketball game. Lauren, a member of the Bruins soccer team, overheard and jokingly commented, “Don’t worry, you’re cuter than Darren.” This chance encounter marked the beginning of their love story. After retiring from the national women’s team, Lauren, a World Cup champion and two-time gold medalist, was pregnant with their child when she was diagnosed with a brain tumor. Without hesitation, Jrue took a break from his NBA career in 2016 to support his wife until the meningioma was removed successfully. They now share a beautiful family, including daughter Drue and son Hendrix. In a Father’s Day tribute, Lauren expressed her admiration for Jrue, stating that he consistently demonstrates what unconditional love looks like by being there for their family every day, regardless of whether it’s on his best or worst days.
Growing up just off the interstate in California during the 90s, soccer legends Morgan and Carrasco graced the University of California, Berkeley in 2007. On their respective teams, Carrasco as co-captain and Morgan finishing her career third all-time in goals and points for the Cal Golden Bears, it was only natural that these pitch royalty would form a bond.
Fast forward over a decade, my wife, mother of our 3-year-old daughter Charlie, has undeniably taken charge. I can’t help but be in awe as she continues to dominate her field. “She’s an extraordinary woman,” I shared with MLSsoccer.com before her historic second World Cup win. “When my nieces interact with her and look up to her, it doesn’t get any better than that. Sure, the soccer accolades are impressive, but when she appears on the ‘100 Most Influential in the World’ list in Time magazine? That’s when I realize she’s not just making an impact on the field, but also off it.
Back in February 2020, when the Houston Texans’ star defensive end tied the knot with a renowned soccer forward in the Bahamas, he didn’t miss an opportunity to emphasize his achievements, subtly displaying the “Mr. Kealia Watt” embroidery hidden beneath his suit jacket. This was reminiscent of the time he called out Houston’s ABC affiliate for addressing him as J.J. Watt’s fiancé instead of using her name in a story about her trade to the Chicago Red Stars. He tweeted, “This headline is trash. Kealia Ohai (yes, that’s her name by the way) is incredible on her own merit and deserves to be treated as such.”
Indeed, this man is not just an exceptional five-time pro bowler, but he also acknowledges his partner’s prowess. In an interview with People, he confessed, “We’re very competitive. Very, very competitive, and we like to workout together. She’s much faster than me, while I’m slightly stronger.” Yet, they aren’t just a power couple on the field. As he further shared, “We have a lot of fun together.”
This dynamic duo was introduced by his former teammate Brian Cushing, who is married to Ohai’s sister Megan, a former USC soccer player. They may be fierce competitors and fitness enthusiasts, but they know how to enjoy life as well.
It’s surprising that the two-time NBA MVP had a rocky start with his now-wife Ayesha. During a hangout with an old friend from his youth group, he attempted to kiss her, but she dodged it. Fortunately, they had a chance for a do-over! She shared this story in 2017 with TopMob News. After their first kiss in his parents’ driveway in Charlotte, he eventually proposed at the same location a few years later. He described it as being like a scene from “The Notebook.”
After they got married in 2011, they found out months later that they were expecting their first child, Riley. At the time, Ayesha was concerned she wouldn’t be able to establish her professional identity. However, almost a decade later, with two more children and an entire lifestyle empire under her belt, she has proven herself as a cookbook author, Food Network personality, model, and philanthropist. She prefers not to be referred to as a “basketball wife.” As she aptly put it to ABC News, “I don’t think my husband would call himself ‘chef’s wife.’
In 2010, during a U.S. Women’s National Soccer Team camp, I experienced an instant connection with someone that felt like love at first sight. During our spare moments, we would engage in deep, engaging conversations about our aspirations and goals, and it was as if our hearts were intertwined. It felt so effortless and natural.
My spouse echoes this sentiment, recalling how drawn she was to my self-assured demeanor. She felt more like herself when she was with me, and that’s when I realized she would become a significant part of my life.
After nine years, we finally tied the knot in December 2019. The wedding, officiated by Leroux and with Rapinoe as my maid of honor, came only five months after our joint World Cup victory with the Orlando Pride team. It was an unforgettable year, one that I don’t think we’ll ever be able to surpass, but we’re determined to try.
In early 2021, we welcomed our beautiful daughter Sloane into our lives. A feeling I can’t describe swept over me when she was born. I now understand why mothers will do anything for their children – everyone was right. “You’ll understand one day when you have a child,” they said, and now I do.
