Trevor Story’s Girlfriend Mallie Crow

Trevor Story’s girlfriend Mallie Crow has said that her boyfriend’s first four games were surreal.  His insane accomplishments didn’t really sink in while it happened.

What was it exactly?

We are talking, of course, about Trevor’s titanic start to his first season in the big leagues. As of this writing, he has hit seven home runs in his first six games. Seven home runs, six games played. That is bonkers, guys. He already shipped off his bat and gloves to the hall of fame. They asked him for the gear because he set a record for the best start for a player to any season. So at this rate, he’ll have about 180 home runs by the end of the season.

Trevor started dating Mallie in high school. They do everything together and have the whole melded-consciousness thing going. You can always tell when a couple is at that point because all Trevor’s social media posts start use “we” instead of “I.” Trevor Story’s girlfriend Mallie has been with him for a little over five years, and their fifth anniversary was spent at Chili’s. Hey, nobody said baseball players had to be classy. When you live in Denver, your dining options are probably limited to corporate garbage, I guess. They’re both from Irving, Texas and both attended Irving High School. The only reason he’s starting as the Rockies short stop now is because Jose Reyes’ allegedly threw his wife into a sliding glass door. While MLB sorts out any discipline, Story became the story. The world’s a weird place.

This couple has fun

For Halloween, Trevor and Mallie dressed up as Bugs and Lola from the Tune Squad from the movie “Space Jam.” Trevor Story’s girlfriend Mallie had the idea, and he pointed out how clever it was. I’ve got to agree with Trevor. It’s a novel idea, and they both looked pretty good. The costume included bunny ears for the both of them, and it was very wearable since it’s just a basketball uniform with some sneakers. The costume also included rabbit tails in the back. That was certainly a detail that Mallie included for accuracy. Mallie is very into her religion.  Considering that she’s from Texas, it’s not entirely shocking.  She posted something on social media basically saying, “When your best friend’s dream becomes your dream and then a reality, you can’t help but to just say thank you Lord!”

Well, I guess, but wouldn’t you want to thank all the pitchers for throwing a bunch of meatballs for Trevor to crank out of the park? Kidding, of course.

Aaron Judge’s Girlfriend Situation

Aaron Judge’s girlfriend is a hot topic for the ladies of New York City.  Hell, for inquiring minds nationwide.  Let’s dive in to what we know.

2017: Aaron Judge’s girlfriend Jen Flaum

Jen Flaum is a New Jersey native who regularly attended Yankees games. The fist public introduction to the pair was when they were photographed together at the US Open.  There was some initial question as to whether or not they were dating.  But, really.   Does a pro athlete have time to just be friends with an insanely hot young woman and take her to an expensive sports match? Not unless he considers it a date with possible relationshippy consequences. So no.

The very first media attention Jen received came from The New York Post. They popped in the headline “Aaron Judge spotted not striking out” for a laugh. That’s your classic Post headline. Anyway, Aaron Judge’s girlfriend visits Manhattan often. She loves the city and posted a picture of her at a dog park at Washington Square Park with two Golden Retrievers. She also hangs out at Long Branch Pier on the New Jersey coast directly south of Brooklyn. And good lord does she look good in a bikini! She really is a beautiful young woman.

Her most famous reference to Mr. Judge also came from a social media post from a Yankees game. She said she had 99 problems but A. Judge wasn’t one. I love it. Aaron Judge’s girlfriend likes to travel and get out there in the world. Her last big vacation was to Miami and Boca Raton around August 22 of 2017.

Now, all good things come to an end.  And according to multiple sources, this relationship did in November of 2017.

2018:  Is Aaron Judge’s girlfriend Britt Hodges?

Well, we know one thing for sure.  It doesn’t appear to be Jen Selter, despite her best efforts to catch his attention.

It appears Aaron Judge went home.  Britt Hodges is a friend going all the way back to high school. Britt Hodges was first seen being escorted around the city in early April, and the Post ran with the details.  

After the pair spent much of Friday wandering around the city, including tour stops at Rockefeller Center and Grand Central Station, a source tells the website Hodges headed to Yankee Stadium in the evening, when the Yankees fell to the Blue Jays, 8-5. Hodges allegedly hung out with Judge, 25, on Saturday night, after the Yankees struck back 9-1.

While Judge, who grew up in California, has yet to go social media official with his rumored new gal pal, Hodges took the leap for him Monday morning.

“New York was absolutely wild. Thank you for all the adventures!” Hodges posted on Instagram.

We’ll keep an eye on this one.  After all, we’re still waiting for them to be social media official, right?

2019 – ??: Aaron Judge’s girlfriend Samantha Bracksieck

Apparently Aaron Judge’s current girlfriend is an OG.  This one goes back to high school days.   They also both attended Fresno State, while Judge was getting ready to be drafted and take over the Bronx.  Samantha studied exercise science, which should come in handy if she stays with a professional athlete.  I’m sure it was helpful while Judge was rehabbing during the 2020 COVID-19 Pandemic lockdowns.

Samantha made headlines of her own in May of 2020 during a DUI arrest.  Most of the time, players are the ones caught on camera asking police “Do you know who I am,” in order to escape trouble with the law.  This time however Aaron Judge’s girlfriend took that route.  In her defense, she seemed more concerned with making sure Aaron wouldn’t take any heat than avoiding trouble of her own.  TMZ has the whole story

Nathan Eovaldi’s Wife Rebekah Eovaldi

Nathan Eovaldi’s wife Rebekah Eovaldi gave birth to their first child in June of 2014. The internet still contains traces of their baby registry from this time. It would surprise no one to see the list; it’s just your typical bunch of baby items like strollers and monitors and such. It’s not like I was expecting anything like a baby baseball glove or something silly like that just because it’s a sports couple. A full set of catcher’s gear and uniform for our baby, please!

Their second daughter arrived in January of 2019.  No baby registry to speak of this time around!

It’s been a long journey back to health for Eovaldi, but his support system has been there all along.

Two Tommy John’s, plus stops in Miami, Los Angeles, the Bronx, Tampa Bay, and now Boston.  It’s been a ride for sure.  But, Rebekah and their son followed him to training camp in Florida after the season. He’s into having a kid, based on what I’ve read. Nathan Eovaldi’s wife is fitting into the classic baseball wife role. You travel around a bit, you sit in the stands and watch your husband pitch, and you generally just take care of your family, some charity work and chilling out. Sorry if that sounds kind of meh, but that’s kinda’ just the deal in baseball marriage. It’s a little easier for the wives of players than the wives of general managers, if that makes it any easier. I’d be curious to know what Rebekah thought of the coverage her husband was getting in the New York Times. It was mostly about how he seems to be so awesome and yet was so hittable in the 2014 season.

He certainly seemed to have gotten over that in the 2015 season. That’s a good thing for the couple. It means his earning power went up significantly. Having moved from Miami to the big apple, it’s been a substantial change for the two of them. Things are really clicking after Nathan’s winning percentage sky-rocketed last season. His salary jumped up almost 4,000,000 dollars in two years. That all translates to good things at home for Nathan Eovaldi’s wife Rebekah. The way he’s pitching in October, the Eovaldi’s are on the brink of a MASSIVE payday.  It’ s probably best that Nathan Eovaldi’s wife prefers to stay out of the social media spotlight and cheer on Nathan from afar.

Max Muncy’s wife Kelley Cline

Max Muncy’s wife Kelley Cline has been along for his whole wild journey.

It started long ago.

Max has been through turmoil in his rise to nearly becoming an All-Star for the 2018 Dodgers.  It took a little digging to find out Both Max and Kelley are from Texas.  But as I’ve so often been forced to do writing these posts, I’m leaning some new geography.  Max is from Midland.  And Kelley is from Southlake, Texas.  That is a stunning 5 hour drive.  But, the Texas connection continued, when they both attended Baylor at the same time.

The two have made it work through the multiple stops in the minors and the eventual journey to national acclaim with the Dodgers.  Seriously, since college, I’m counting 8 stops for Muncy.  While with the Oakland organization, he hit the following

  • Burlington Bees (A)
  • Stockton Ports (A-Advanced)
  • Midland Rockhounds (AA)
  • Mesa Solar Sox (Arizona Fall Lague)
  • Nashville Sounds (AAA)
  • Oakland Athletics (Major League Baseball)
  • Oklahoma City Dodgers (AAA)
  • Los Angeles Dodgers

But, Max is a lucky one.  Max Muncy’s wife has been there every stop of the way.  And she’s proudly posted pictures of herself smiling with Max in the various uniforms, in the various stadiums.  Hopefully for them, this is their last stop for a while.  She was there for his Major League debut, and she was there for his first Dodgers start.  That loyal support is incredible in this game.

When she’s not being a kickass loyal BAE, Kelley is an associate buyer at Stanley Korshak.

Max Muncy’s girlfriend recently became Max Muncy’s wife

That’s right folks.  in 2017, Max dropped to one knee and proposed to Kelley.  Early in 2018, he put the following up on Instagram

Instagram Photo

Confirmed by their wedding website, they married in November, 2018.  For appreciative Dodger fans out there, we’d recommend buying the Galvanized Flatware Caddy from Crate & Barrel.  Hasn’t Max brought you $24.95 worth of happiness?

Pete Alonso’s girlfriend is about to become Pete Alonso’s wife.  The up and coming king of non Yankees New York, is tied down for the long haul.  But, he for one is here for the commitment.

Pete Alonso’s girlfriend gets plenty of love on the Insta.

Take a peek at his Valentine’s Day dedication:

Instagram Photo

This kid seems to get it.  He digs being with Haley and is totally happy for the world to see it.  These two have been together since college.  Pete did the deed and dropped to one knee in November of 2018.

Instagram Photo

There is no current date scheduled for their wedding, but their shell of a wedding website says “Date To Be Announced – New York, NY”.  In a post COVID-19 world, who knows when the world will be back to doing big, fun weddings again.

Young, but already charitable

Following his 2019 Rookie of the Year campaign, Pete was ready to give back.  And impressively, Pete Alonso’s girlfriend (and soon to be wife), decided it was time to give back.  In the spring of 2020, the two announced the formation of “Homers for Hero’s” designed to give back to the every day heroes all around.  Pete and Haley were originally set to honor 1-2 heroes a month, but then decided the world needed more.  An open letter:

Dear All,

Particularly in these difficult times, heroes are even more important, super to the survival & well-being of our society. Our mission at Homers for Heroes is to honor those heroes, to uplift those who go above & beyond their call of duty, to use our incredible platform to amplify those special messages, heartwarming stories, and the heroes that touch our hearts.

We originally set out to honor 1-2- heroes a month, but as Haley & I have been reading through some of the awe-inspiring hero nominations we’ve received, we realize there are simply too many to share!

This season we are launching 60 Heroes in 60 Games– an inspirational campaign, for a most exceptional baseball season. We will be honoring 60 heroes over the baseball season and sharing their stories on social media.

We thank you so very much for supporting Homers for Heroes, and as always…

Pete & Haley

Amazing couple.  Impossible not to root for these two.

Dont’a Hightower’s Girlfriend Morgan Hart

Dont’a Hightower’s girlfriend Morgan Hart is on the fast track to wifedom. She’s young, has unique career pursuits, and she’s incredibly supportive and adaptive to whatever the big guy needs.

Aside from being a supporting WAG, Dont’a Hightower’s girlfriend has her own career

Morgan refers to herself as a writer on her Twitter, and Instagram.  But, her Instagram promotes a site called Marlee & Grey.  Marlee & Grey sells fashion and accessories. Morgan appears to be a prominently featured model on the site.  The site does a better job explaining what they are than what we could pull off.

We are an online clothing store committed to bringing women the most exclusive brands & latest trends in contemporary fashion. Our selections are carefully hand-picked to ensure that every customer, no matter her body type, will look and feel great in our clothes.
Few things are more powerful than she who bravely stands on her own, and the role of empowering women to find that confidence is one we proudly embrace at Marlee + Grey.
Our mission is to provide our customers with clothing that helps them to look and feel their best.
Because when a woman looks good, she feels good.
When she feels good, she feels confident.
… & when a woman feels confident, the game changes.

Prior to this, Morgan worked as a marketing intern.  Marketing things is really tough. If I were working at a marketing firm, I’d probably bail out real fast and go looking for a job where I get to talk about Dont’a Hightower’s girlfriend Morgan Hart.

They have quite a history.

She’s known Mr. Hightower for quite some time, having shown a picture of the couple from 2009. My guess is she’s a high school or college sweetheart from his past. They both went to the Univsersity of Alabama, but they may have attended the same school to keep their thing going from high school. Dont’a is going to be making his home field girlfriend happy with a $7.7 million contract for four years.

The two are set to be married shortly although all wedding plans in a COVID world are up in the air.  On July 16, 2020, Donta Hightower’s girlfriend (who again, is actually now his fiancee and set to be his wife), gave birth to the couple’s first child.  Dont’a elected to sit out the 2020 season, which makes sense when he has a 10 day old when training camps are set to open.

Damien Williams’ wife Lilly Williams

Is Damien Williams’ wife Lilly Williams?  It’s a hell of a question, really.

Where to begin?

Well, that’s a great question, but I guess we’ll start at the start.  When tracking down more information About Damien Williams’ wife, we found more about Damien himself.  His Instagram profile gives a good start:

Mississippi made me,California raised me,26 and Living.

So a couple things jump out.  He clearly updated this a while ago, since he’s 27 at publishing of this post, and pretty near 28.  But also, the anecdote about Mississippi has us palms up here.  He was born in, and attended high school in California, before heading off to Oklahoma for college ball.  But, besides thathis Insta reveals no other information about the woman labeled as Damien Williams’ wife.

Now, Damien does label himself as Damien Williams SR., which does add one wrinkle to the mystery here.  Some outlets report that Damien Williams Jr. was born on June 27, 2017. Hence the Sr tag.  Other outlets suggest that a daughter, Dillon Dash Williams was born at this time.  The latter report seems to run true based on one of the few personal Instagram posts that Damien pulls back the curtain in 2019.

Instagram Photo

 

And, the woman known as Damien Williams’ wife, Lilly Belle Williams, gave birth to the child.

Ok, we’re getting somewhere….

Right, but not all that far.  OK, so we know a child was born to him in 2017.  Got it.  Beyond that?  Yeesh. There was a point in early 2019 where Damien put up a picture of Lilly, but that has since been removed.   In fact almost every personal post on his Instagram has been removed.

The woman identified as Damien Williams’ wife has her name as Lilly Williams on Instagram.  But, the account is set to private, and Damien does not follow her.  At one point, she put up a loving post dedicated to her time pregnat, and Heavy.com captured the details.

“I wore my pregnancy with pride …thank you for my angel,” she captioned the post, tagging Damien. If you scroll through the series of pics, you will see that Lilly shared some specials snaps that she and her husband took together. Wearing a red bikini in these couple shots, Lilly completely rocked her baby bump. She and Damien look so happy in the photos — even in one that was taken underwater!

But, alas.  This is also now gone.  Given the removal of pictures from both accounts, did they just button up their public information?  Or, did something go south from 2019 until 2020?  We can’t know for sure, but we do know that as the Chiefs head to the AFC Championship Game, we’ll be keeping an eye out.

Khris Middleton’s girlfriend Samantha

Khris Middleton’s girlfriend Samantha is the mother of their only daughter.  Audrielle Middleton was born in April of 2019, and is clearly a key figure in their lives.

And, that’s officially the single most obvious thing we’ve ever said on this site.

Wow.  New low.  Even for us.  Hey folks.  Parents like their kids!  Groundbreaking coverage from PlayerWives.com.

But seriously.  We do apologize.  But, in our defense, there’s just not a lot to go on here.  From what we’ve ascertained, Khris Middleton’s girlfriend came into the picture somewhere around 2016.  The couple was together about three years before Audrielle entered the scene.  And, while there isn’t much about either on Khris’ social media, he definitely throws them the occasional shoutout, and love.

On Mothers Day, Khris Middleton’s girlfriend got the public social media shoutout.

Instagram Photo

Khris Middleton’s girlfriend is there when it counts.

Like when Khris is signing a 5 year, $178 Million dollar contract to keep him in Milwaukee long term.

Instagram Photo

Beyond these few glimpses into their lives, there’s not much else.  There’s an occasional Packers game, or a picture together at a wedding, but they keep the rest of their lives pretty close to the vest.

We’ve seen some information out there that Samantha is a first grade teacher and a community activist, but we can’t confirm or deny that much.  I guess we’ll leave them to their quiet life.  But, if things in Milwaukee keep trending towards championship caliber levels, their ability to stay out of the limelight is about to get a whole lot tougher!

Damian Lillard’s girlfriend Kay’La Hanson

Damian Lillard’s girlfriend Kay’la Hanson is very proud of her boyfriend.

As she should be.

Kay’La Hanson was a pre-med student enrolled at Weber State University in Utah.  It doesn’t appear she pursued a career in the medial field, but that could be tucked out of the limelight for now.  Kay’La does link to, and post about a mobile Nail salon in Portland, with the caption in her bio reading

“If ur doing something you love. You’ll never work a day in your life!” @dippedpdx

One could make the easy leap that the couple met at college, as Lillard played his college ball for the Weber State Wildcats.  Of course, all of this was before the Blazers took him with the 6th overall pick in the 2012 draft.  Lillard immediately took over in the Pacific Northwest, but is still working to make a bigger name for himself to the rest of the country.  And launching a game winning 40 foot three pointer to close a playoff series will certainly help.

Damian Lillard’s girlfriend loves social media!

Kay’La Hanson is regular to her Twitter and Instagram accounts showing support for Lillard, often expressing how much she misses him while on the road.  While the Trailblazers superstar is well known to dedicated NBA fans, he didn’t really become a household name for a few years.

Damian Lillard’s girlfriend, gave birth to their son, Damian Jr., in March, 2017.   Both Damian and Kay’La are proud of their little dude.  Hell, who isn’t proud of their kids?  Damian put up a sweet picture on Instagram of him Facetiming with Dame Jr before a game.  Proud parents for sure.

Instagram Photo

Is Damian Lillard’s girlfriend about the become Damian Lillard’s wife?

When we last reviewed this post in April of 2019 we wrote the following:

Short answer?  Not sure.

Longer answer?  Well, some sites on the internet have labeled Kay’La as Damian Lillard’s fiancee.  We haven’t found anything out there to definitively support that, also noting that Kay’La doesn’t flaunt a ring in any pictures.  So if they are engaged, it’s not for public consumption.  And that’s cool with us.

Instagram Photo

When we updated this post in July of 2020, we can now definitely say this:

Yep.

Damian Lillard’s girlfriend is in fact about to become Damian Lillard’s wife.  During the 2020 All Star Weekend, Dame finally officially popped the question at a private party with friends and family.  Little did anyone know that COVID was about to shut down the world as we know it, so wedding plans are likely in a holding pattern for now.  But, given the relative privacy of their relationship to date, it’s not surprising that neither is on social media chatting up their dates and locations.  Whenever the nuptials do wind up taking place it’ll be well deserved for both parties.  They’ve been in it for the long haul, and are clearly one of those athlete relationships that’s going to work.

Mike Trout’s wife Jessica Tara Cox

Long before $430M, and way back in December, 2017, Mike Trout’s girlfriend finally became Mike Trout’s wife.

That’s right.  The best player in the world marries up.

You might think that the best baseball player in the world would evaluate options out there.  But, Mike Trout has never been shy to show off his now official better half.  Jessica has been in the picture since high school.  Trout told the Philadelphia Daily News that he knows why he stays with Cox:

“I met her in high school, and we trust each other, and she is one of my best friends. She is somebody I can talk to and is always here for me.”

Mike Trout’s wife was prominently featured on the Angels slugger’s Twitter.

How did the best player in baseball make a grand gesture to his best friend?  Mike Trout’s wife Jessica Cox walked out of a building in July 2, 2016. Mike told her to look up at the sky, and she read a message that a plane wrote in smoke. It was a marriage proposal. Since she fell in love with Mike years ago and stayed that way, she immediately said yes. A little later, she posted on her social media about it. Jessica simply said feels so excited to finally be able to call the amazing Mikey Trout her husband. Hiring a plane to write a proposal message in the sky is a smooth move, for sure.

What does Mike Trout’s wife do aside from cheer on the Angels?

Jessica is a middle school teacher in New Jersey. Since they first started dating in high school there, she returned after earning a degree in Pennsylvania and now teaches sixth graders. It’s also a great gig for her since the summer is wide open! Imagine Mike Trout’s girlfriend gets a break from her job in the summer so she can go watch baseball! It’s absolutely ideal. I respect school teachers greatly in this country, and Jessica really seems to fit right into the occupation. Who wouldn’t love to have her as their sixth grade teacher?

While no kids yet, in the meantime they own a small American Eskimo Dog named Juno. Yes, it’s a very Alaskan-themed pet ownership program they have. Mike Trout’s girlfriend loves this dog a lot and frequently shares pictures of her. Jessica certainly considers her, Mike, and Juno a little family. I believe within one year of their marriage, she will give birth. Right now, she loves to travel with Mike and attend games in the summer. The couple enjoys concerts on occasion. During winter, they visited Lake Placid in New York and sled down some slopes. Jessica also loves horses and visits Mike’s parents’ ranch to see them.

August, 2020 can’t come soon enough

We’ll let Mike and Mike Trout’s wife explain.

Mike Trout’s wife gives birth!

Mike Trout took to Twitter to share the news himself.

Between the first and last name, Beckham Trout is going to have a lot of work to do to live up to those athletic names.  If his lineage predicts the future, we think he’ll be ok!

Ben Roethlisberger’s wife Ashley Roethlisberger

Ben Roethlisberger’s wife Ashley Roethlisberger married him in 2011.

Seems like it was yesterday.  Nine years flies by…

Since that time, Ashley gave birth to their three children, Ben, Baylee, and Bodie. The couple dated but did not live together until they married. This was Ashley’s choice because of religious beliefs. They married in Pittsburgh, and Ashley became pregnant four months afterward. Two years later, the NFL awarded Ben the Walter Payton Man of the Year award. Ashley certainly appears to brighten his life up. In a radio interview with WDVE, Ben said the marriage and kids put his life in perspective. He said he didn’t really know love until you have a child.

Ashley works as a physician’s assistant in the cardiac surgery department of the Presbyterian Hospital of Pittsburgh. Ben Roethlisberger’s wife helps diagnose illnesses and aids surgeries. In October of 2016, the Steelers organization put together a runway charity event which both Ben, Ashley, and all three of their kids participated in. Ben posted pictures of the family walking down the runway. They all looked very dapper and dressed in formal attire. Ashley in particular turned heads in a red gown.

Tracing the Pennsylvanian roots

Ashley herself comes from a town called New Castle in Pennsylvania. Ben Roethlisberger’s wife played basketball, softball, and volleyball. After colleges recruited her, she decided to attend St. Francis University and played softball. She graduated in 2009. Back in 2011, the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette asked Ben if he became engaged to Ashley at the time. He denied the engagement. Was he wary of the attention and the timing? Another article from triblive.com from 2011 covered their relationship at the time. They asked Ashley’s friend from childhood to describe her as a kid. Her friend, Sally Hiers, said Ashley was “such a happy little girl who loved sports and loved going to church”. According to the article, the couple met at training camp in 2005. At that time, Ashley still attended college.

The article also went on to describe both Ben and Ashley as highly competitive people. Those were his words to the Tribune Review in June of 2011. Even Ashley’s pastor at the First Alliance Church called her a “fine young lady” for the article. Ben Roethlisberger’s wife is described as a star athlete in her high school years by Sally Hiers. Her volleyball and basketball coach in high school said Ashley was a socialite and one of the most popular girls in school. In fact, the volleyball team won the AA championship in 2000 with the help of Ashley! Now, she is a champion mom and wife.

Jason Day’s wife Ellie Day

Jason Day’s wife Ellie Day was taken out in a stretcher after being bowled over by LeBron James in January.

Seriously, he’s the worst.  THE WORST.  F LEBRON.

Jason Day’s wife was sitting courtside at the Cavs with him when LeBron dove for a ball.  Poor Ellie Day took the brunt of it and was knocked over.  She was transferred to a nearby hospital and was ultimately fine, outside of concussion symptoms and getting quite the scare. Jason Day defended the fact that he did nothing to protect his wife, by saying:

It happened so quick, I’m going to do that? I’m not going to stop a 260-pound guy that’s 6-8 running full speed. Ellie took it like a champ, though.

Back before LeBron’s heinous assault

Ellie is from Lucas, Ohio and is two years older than Jason. The couple met by chance while Ellie was working at a restaurant in Twinsburg, Ohio but didn’t actually begin dating until a few years later. The couple eventually began dating thanks to an introduction by Jason’s coach/caddie, Colin Swatton. I wonder if the pair knew that they had met, prior to being formally introduced – or if they only figured that out later. It’s a strange coincidence, regardless.

Jason Day married the former Ellie Harvey in 2009. The couple lives in Ohio now, but lived out of an RV for awhile – traveling from tournament to tournament in their RV. Their two dogs accompanied them in the RV, but the RV situation became unrealistic when Ellie became pregnant for the first time. Their son, Dash James, was born in July 2012. The couple had their second child, a daughter named Lucy, in November of 2015.

Random fact du jour.

On a random final note, Jason Day’s wife once competed in dairy food competitions. Can someone please tell me what in the world is a dairy food competition? Is that like the college game where you have to drink an entire gallon of milk in 30 minutes? Or is it like identifying different types of cheeses while blindfolded? Or maybe it’s like that scene in Napoleon Dynamite where he identifies the defect in various jars of milk? I really hope that’s what it is because that scene is hilarious.

CAREER: Over four seasons, appeared in 39 events and 107 rounds with a scoring average of 76.54 … Had three top-10 and seven top-20 results, plus eight below-par rounds … Earned multiple WGCA All-American Scholar, Arthur Ashe Jr. Sports Scholar and WCC All-Academic honors.

So what’s next for these two?  Well definitely more golf, and I’m sure some celebrating for taking home a majors trophy.  Beyond that life is pretty great, so I imagine more of the same.  At such young ages, there’s no rush to enter the next adult-y staged, but you never know.  We’ll keep an eye out.

Lamar Miller’s Girlfriend Jess

Lamar Miller’s girlfriend Jess attended Florida International University and was a track athlete. They started dating in the summer of 2009, and this became apparent after I saw that the summer of 2013 was their four year anniversary. That means they started dating when Jess was eighteen years old because she is current 25. In fact, after years of study, she became a registered nurse on her 25th birthday! That day came in July of 2016.

Lamar Miller’s girlfriend Jessica is one of the good ones.

Jess really is a beautiful and smart woman. She has a great energy about her, and she posts a good variety of things on her social media. In June of 2016, Lamar and Jess traveled to Costa Rica for vacation, and Jess tried a zip line for the first time. Prior to that, she moved to Houston to be with Lamar, and she now works at a hospital there. She still has a lot of friends back in Miami, and they go there to visit. I can tell Lamar Miller’s girlfriend enjoyed Leonardo DiCaprio’s speech at the 2016 Oscars. She posted it in its entirety on her social media.

It’s fun to look at Lamar Miller’s girlfriend on social media because she drastically changes her hair styles every few months. She has had every kind of hair style imaginable. Her favorites are cornrows and bunny ear pigtails. One of my favorite quotes of hers is: “relationships are just two people constantly asking each other what they want to eat, until one of them dies.” If she made that up herself, nice work. I also love her quote about the secret of success being found in your daily routine. She seems to be smart and self-aware. She tried smoking cigars last year and really disliked the taste, but she said there was a first (and last) time for everything. Jess is also a firm believer in voting and frequently urges people to vote on her social media.

Girlfriend, no more.  It’s time for a new status.

Let’s try on Lamar Miller’s fiancee for a while.  How about Lamar Miller’s wife?  Because those two monickers are the new normal for these two.  In May, 2018, Lamar and Jessica got engaged after their long romance.  No word on a wedding date, but it’s a comin.  Congratulations to the happy couple!

Braden Holtby’s Wife Brandi Holtby

Braden Holtby’s wife Brandi Holtby can turn some heads.  At the 2017 NHL Awards, the Holtby’s showed up in their Sunday finest to walk the red carpet.  And.  Just.  Wow.

You’re with us now, right?

But, our mission here isn’t to reduce Braden Holtby’s wife to a head turner.  In addition to being stunning, she’s also a mom.  And, being a mom and wife are probably the things she’d self identify first.  Brandi gave birth to their first child, Benjamin Hunter Holtby on May 10, 2012.  Their second child, a daughter named Belle Scarlett Holtby on May 29. 2014.  The B names are strong with the Holtby clan.  And W’s are strong with Holtby on the ice.

A Distraction Free Delivery

Braden Holtby’s wife was pregnant with Benjamin right in the middle of their 2012 playoff run.  After game 5 of the Boston series, Brandi tweeted the following out to her to-be husband:

I love you babe, but these games are getting too intense for your very preggy fiancee #contractions #preggyproblems

.
Brandi has been away from Braden for most of the season because of school. However, according to her twitter feed Brandi just finished her spring semester classes during the Boston series and is heading to DC to spend time with Braden.

Upon the birth of Benjamin, the 22 year old Braden went out of his way to not be a distraction to his team.  The delivery came smack in the middle of the Eastern Conference semi-finals matchup against the New York Rangers.  So, Braden and Brandi scheduled the delivery in the DC area.  Brandi had just moved to DC after school ended in Canada, so the both of them went through sacrifices to make it work for their family, and his team.

Brandi Holtby is actively involved in Capitals Wives’ charitable events.  Auctions, fundraisers, charity runs, you name it.  She cares deeply about the community she’s adopted in DC and goes out of her way to support the community around her.  Even as a Bruins fan, it’s hard not to like these two.

Jordan Binnington’s girlfriend Cristine Prosperi

Jordan Binnington’s girlfriend.  Man, what a topic right now.  The Blues goalie has St. Louis on the brink of another Stanley Cup championship, but before this spring was a relative unknown.  He journeyed through the minors (including one stop with the Bruins minor league affiliate).  But, on a national level Jordan Binnington was a brand new name.  So, it’s only natural why our traffic is pocked with a simple question

Who is Jordan Binnington’s girlfriend?

Well, this one is a tough one to cobble together, and candidly we’re not entirely sure.  But, we’re going to present what we have.  There’s a rumor out there that Jordan Binnington’s girlfriend is Cristine Prosperi.  Certainly not impossible in theory, but also very difficult to ascertain the legitimacy of this rumor.  Both have maintained a private profile on their public social media.  Don’t get me wrong.  They both have accounts.  But, their posts are surface level.  Enough to satiate their fans, but keeping enough away.

Who is Cristine Prosperi?

Cristine Prosperi is a Canadian actress.  Her IMDB resume may not leap off the screen at most people, but she’s an accomplished actress with a steady list of work under her belt.  Most notably: DeGrassi, The Next Generation.  Color us impressed.

Born in 1993, Cristine originally hails from Toronto, and her acting resume supports her Canadian heritage.  I know you could probably head over to IMDB yourself, but they summed up her career work, saying:

Cristine Prosperi (April 7, 1993) is best known for portraying Imogen Moreno on Degrassi. Cristine plays the role of Tiara on the Family Channel series, Really Me, she also stars as Aria on Totally Amp’d and has guest starred on The Latest Buzz Series. Cristine played the role of the Iraqi girl in the movie Stir of Echoes: She also was in The Homecoming and Your Beautiful Cul De Sac Home movie. Cristine has also worked on several commercials, she shot the XBox commercial with the Jonas Brothers and Venessa Morgan from the Latest Buzz. She is trained both in singing and dance.

DeGrassi and the Jonas Brothers?  I dig it!

But, back to why you landed here.

Like we noted earlier, they don’t indulge in SMPDA.  For those in the back, I just created that and it’s Social Media PDA.  Cristine does follow many members of the Binnington family on Instagram.  She keeps regular contact with other Blues wives on Twitter, though again, seems to stay out of making overt “HEY I’M A BLUES GIRLFRIEND,” territory.  It’s smart on both of their parts to keep it quiet.

So, final verdict.  Is she Jordan Binnington’s girlfriend?

Maybe. Probably. It makes sense, but we’re not sure.  And that’s probably exactly what they wanted to be said.

Jaroslav Halak’s wife Petra Halak

Jaroslav Halak’s wife is about to become a popular search topic in the city of Boston.

And why exactly is Petra Halak, Jaroslav Halak’s wife about to become so popular?

When it comes to the Bruins, it seems the answer always comes back to Tuukka.  Yes, we all know 2020 is a weird assed year when it comes to sports.  Delays, suspensions, bubbles.  It’s weird.  But, when the NHL resumed, the President’s Trophy winning Bruins would be on the short list of Stanley Cup contenders.  But, when their Vezina Trophy finalist netminder Tuukka Rask opted out of the NHL bubble things got dicey.  And all eyes turned to Jaroslav Halak.

If there’s one thing we’ve learned in nearly a decade running this site, is this.  When eyes turn to an athlete, the public starts searching for the wife thereafter.

Enter Jaroslav Halak’s wife Petra Halak

Now, despite our best efforts, there’s not a ton known about Jaro Halak’s wife.  We know they were married in 2012.   This was sometime during his career with the St. Louis Blues, but before his weird series of trades through the NHL.  Petra Halak must have had a hell of a time dealing with her first couple years as a hockey wife.

During his time in St. Louis, Jaro started to establish himself in a part time role.  Shortly before the 2013-14 season however, he was dealt to Buffalo, where he never actually appeared in a game.  That same season he was dealt along to the Washington Capitals, who later flipped him to the New York Islanders.   All in the same damn season.  Basically four homes in a calendar year.  Yeah playing sports for millions is fun, but geez that’s a lot for anyone.   Jaro eventually established some credibility with the Islanders where he stayed until free agency in 2018.  The Bruins braintrust snagged him to play in a time share with Tuukka Rask.  And in the 2020 bubble… well here we are.

So, as for Jaro Halak’s wife?  Well again, not much known.  They do have a daughter Inna and a son Nathan.  Beyond that, there’s really not much known.  If Halak finds a way to step in and carry this Bruins squad to a Stanley Cup?  Well we imagine a whole lot more will come out then!

Alex Smith’s wife Elizabeth Smith is the mother of their three children, Hudson, Hayes and Sloane. Sloane is the youngest and newest addition to the family. She arrived on February 4th of 2016. Since that time, Sloane appeared in two Halloween costumes on Liz’s social media feed. The first costume was a lamb. The second was Wonder Woman. In fact, for 2017’s Halloween, the entire family dressed as super heroes and villains. The Smiths do more than dress up as heroes too. They support a charity called Hope House! The charity focuses on victims of domestic violence abuse. Elizabeth often mentions the charity on her social media pages.

Alex Smith’s wife sticks up for her husband!

Elizabeth also appeared on the Kansas City Star website in October of 2016. A news meteorologist and Chiefs fan commented about her husband. The meteorologist, Gary Lezak, compared a backup quarterback’s success in an unfavorable light to Alex Smith. He made the comparison just minutes after Alex suffered an injury. A worried Elizabeth responded. Alex Smith’s wife told Gary to do everyone a favor and stick with what he knows. After that, Gary apologized. Elizabeth thanked him for the apology. She explained she felt worried after the injury. Considering she didn’t know the extent of the injury, it’s understandable why she snapped at him.

The Smith family meets President Obama

In January of 2017, Alex Smith’s wife shared photos of their entire family when they met former President Barack Obama. She told her followers that the Obama family sacrificed and served the nation. Since the couple married in March of 2009, their family grew. She said she loves to make memories with her crazy boys during a 2015 trip to Hawaii. At that time, of course, daughter Sloane hadn’t yet arrived. The family also loves to go to Kansas City Royals games. The entire clan dresses in hats and jerseys for baseball games.

In an in-depth ESPN article from 2009, Alex Smith’s wife talked about a tragedy Alex endured during a 2008 training camp. His best friend committed suicide. He blamed himself for the loss, according to her. Elizabeth talked about the grieving process that Alex needed to go through. She said he didn’t have time to fully experience it. The article also mentioned they gave tribute to his friend at their wedding. Elizabeth admitted they both cried about it at the wedding. She lost her uncle very close to the wedding date too. She said it was a new year and a new season. Elizabeth also said it was time to move forward.

Donovan Mitchell’s girlfriend Deja Lighty (ex-girlfriend now)

Donovan Mitchell’s girlfriend Deja Lighty works for the enemy.

How’d that lede grab you?

As sexy as that lede was, these two appear to have called it off, so the whole enemy thing didn’t really pan out anyways.

The Jazz and Cavs aren’t really enemies, are they?

Not now, but maybe they will be one day.  But, that’s sort of besides the point, and really taking us off course.  According to her LinkedIn profile,  she’s an account executive for the Cavs.  It’s a little tough to piece together how these two started dating, honestly.  Donovan and Deja went to different high schools hours apart.  Deja graduated from Temple, while Donovan put in one season at Louisville.  Donovan is in Utah.  Deja is in Cleveland.  There are a lot of holes and questions here,…. but it works.

Stop trying to figure it out.  Tell us more about Donovan Mitchell’s girlfriend Deja Lighty

Oh, right.  That’s why you’re here.  Well, we’ve briefly touched on a couple topics.  Deja went to Temple, where she was committed to the athletic department.  She was a dancer for the Temple University Gems.  While pursuing a degree in Sports Management, she also worked as a recruitment ambassador, and full on recruiter for the Temple basketball team.

That Sports Management degree has come in handy, helping her land a job as an Account Exec with the Cavs.  But, prior to her stint in the NBA she was an intern at ROC Sports.  Not a bad way to break into the business.  But, this isn’t her first connection to a music label.

Who knows the name Chris Lighty?

Me! Me!  And anyone who’s a fan of late-90’s, early 00’s hip hop knows who he is.  Hell, even if you don’t know who he is, you know who his clients were.  50 Cent.  Busta Rhymes.  Diddy.  Mariah Carey.  Ja Rule.  Nas.  Mobb Deep.  He co founded the Violator label.  This dude was a big deal in the music industry, and so it’s no surprise to see his daughter Deja making her own mark.  Sadly, during an argument with his ex-wife, Chris Lighty committed suicide in 2012.  From the New York Daily News

Lighty — a longtime manager who worked with the likes of 50 Cent, Busta Rhymes, Diddy, Ja Rule and Mariah Carey — walked away from the argument after declaring “I’m tired of this,” before shooting himself in the head behind his South Riverdale home about 11:30 a.m., the sources said.

Cops found Lighty, 44, the founder and chief of Violator Management, lying faceup on the basement patio in a pool of blood with a 9-mm. pistol at his side, the sources said.

The shocking suicide followed a wild spat between Lighty and his 36-year-old wife, Veronica, who filed for divorce last year.

Donovan Mitchell’s girlfriend Deja is definitely doing her father proud now.  I wonder if they ever decide to do something about that Cleveland to Salt Lake City distance?  Time will tell.

Update 2020:

Clearly, it didn’t work out.  Rumors have it that as of fall, 2019, these two had called it off.  It’s not entirely shocking given their distance, but they really did seem into each other.  We’ll keep an eye out what springs up next for Spida Mitchell.

Manny Machado’s wife Yainee Alonso

Manny Machado’s wife Yainee Alonso married him in late 2014.

Manny Machado’s wife dons alliteration marital bliss

Say their name for a second and smile: Manny and Yainee Machado. It’s a catchy combo. Yainee is also the sister of professional baseball player Yonder Alonso.  She is five years younger than her older brother. Manny never played as his teammate but his little sister still managed to charm Mr. Machado while he played for a farm team. Now, Yainee lives in Baltimore with Manny and helps out with community events they organize together.

One such event is the Annual Celebrity BaseBowl Tournament. Manny Machado’s wife attended this year and also showed up in pictures. The goal of the event is to get young kids to play baseball and give them something to do. Oh and also get them bowling! Anyway, Manny loves to post cheesy but sweet dedications to his wife fairly often on social media. On Valentine’s Day he called her “his sun, his moon, his stars, his everything” in a line that sounded lifted directly from Game of Thrones. Cheesy, cheesy stuff. But he obviously loves her very much. She travels occasionally to the cities she’s interested in to attend Manny’s games. Those cities include Chicago, New York, and Los Angeles.

Savor those off days, folks.

Last year, the two enjoyed some quality time over the course of one day during the middle of the season. This is fairly common in baseball when a player gets a day off. Manny Machado’s wife Yainee spent it with him in San Diego. The Dodgers traded for Manny in 2018, so lets hope they enjoyed their time on the left coast.  Let’s especially hope they enjoyed their time in San Diego considering they’ll be calling it home until 2029 after Manny’s blockbuster 10 year deal with the Padres.  Time is a flat circle.

Manny is clearly a real romantic. He even got a tattoo of Yainee in January of 2016. The tattoo features her face and a large flower under it. I will be honest and say I don’t think the face looks like her, but hey it’s the thought that counts. After he posted the picture of the tattoo, he said Yainee is “his everything” and “the only person who can fill his heart with love”.
