Major League Love: The MLB Couples We Can't Stop Watching
Baseball isn’t just home runs and strikeouts; it’s also where love hits it out of the park. Whether you're here for the diamond plays or the diamond rings, these lovebirds bring both the heat and the heart. From off-season getaways to gameday PDA, here are the cutest MLB couples that are absolutely stealing our attention (and maybe a few bases too).
Bryce Harper & Kayla Harper
Bryce Harper might be known for his bat flips, walk-offs, and big energy on the field, but his real MVP moment? Marrying his high school sweetheart, Kayla Varner Harper.
Kayla is that girl. A lifestyle blogger with serious Pinterest-core vibes. Think neutral tones, aesthetic loungewear, and chic mom energy. She’s always posting the dreamiest family content: matching outfits with the kids, cozy at-home mornings, and glam date nights with Bryce that give total “baseball Barbie & Ken” energy. Whether it’s a sweet selfie from the stands or a look into their holiday traditions, her feed is a whole vibe. They’ve been together forever, and it shows in the best way, total ride-or-die chemistry.
Shohei Ohtani & Mamiko Tanaka
The internet broke when Shohei Ohtani casually revealed he was married. No big announcement, no hard launch, just peak mysterious king behavior. And who was the lucky lady? None other than Mamiko Tanaka, a former professional basketball player in Japan, and honestly? A total baddie in her own right.
While the two keep things super private, every rare glimpse we get of them together radiates elegance and intention. He’s the unicorn of baseball, and she’s the graceful, grounded partner cheering him on from the sidelines. It's giving serious “if you know, you know” energy, and we’re so here for it.
They’re not flashy, but they are iconic. No drama, just vibes. And in a world full of hard-launch chaos? That quiet confidence hits differently.
Dansby Swanson & Mallory Swanson
Talk about a power couple. One is an MLB shortstop and the other is a USWNT soccer star. Mallory literally scored goals for Team USA while Dansby was crushing homers. Not to mention, they both support each other like total icons.
Whether it's Dansby hyping her up after a big match or Mallory rocking a custom jersey in the stands, their energy is always "ride or die."
These two met through Mallory’s brother-in-law, who is also a teammate of Dansby’s, and the rest is history. The lovebirds are expecting their first child and starting their own little league, and we cannot wait.
Justin Verlander & Kate Upton

Before TikTok and Instagram soft launches, there was Kate and Justin, the blueprint. Kate Upton, iconic model and SI Swimsuit cover queen, met MLB ace Justin Verlander in the early 2010s, and the world has been obsessed ever since. She didn’t just walk into baseball culture; she redefined it.
Kate’s never been the background wife either. She’s front row, fierce, and fully supportive, cheering her man on from the stands with major fashion energy. And Justin? He’s always hyping her right back.
Now parents to a daughter, they’ve added “adorable family” to their list of power couple achievements. They’re still attending red carpets, winning rings, and reminding us that the old-school MLB love stories still hit just as hard.
Kike Hernandez & Mariana Vicente
When a World Series champ marries a literal Miss Universe contestant, you know the vibes are going to be immaculate. Kiké Hernández, fan favorite utility player, is married to Mariana Vicente, Puerto Rican actress, model, and former Miss Universe Puerto Rico, and yes, they are that stunning.
Mariana brings full glam goddess energy to every game day, whether she’s in head-to-toe designer or repping team colors with a cool girl twist. But she’s not just a pretty face; she’s funny, sharp, and, low-key, a style icon on MLB TikTok and Instagram. Her BTS content offers a glamorous yet grounded look at baseball wife life, and her fans are loyal.
Kiké, on the other hand, is known for keeping things light, goofy interviews, hilarious fits, and dancing in the dugout. Together, they’re the perfect balance of playful and polished. Add in their adorable daughter, and this family is serving on and off the field.
