Kara McCullers' and Astros pitcher Lance McCullers Jr.'s love story
Kara McCullers and Lance McCullers Jr. met when they were very young and have been together ever since. When Lance was just 16 and Kara was 17, their romance officially began.
Lance proposed to Kara during a vacation in the beautiful city of Paris in January 2014, beginning a new chapter in the couple's narrative. Lance and Kara exchanged vows on December 19, 2015, in the Sacred Heart Catholic Church in Tampa, Florida, in the presence of their loved ones, and declared their commitment to one another.
Kara devotes her time to causes that are important to her husband and actively engages in his charity, especially animal welfare. The McCullers have emerged as pioneers in the field of animal adoption and rescue in their neighborhood. McCullers and his family founded the Lance McCullers Jr. Foundation in 2016 as a non-profit organization to support stray and homeless animals.
