Jose Altuve met his wife when they were teenagers in Maracay, Venezuela. According to the US Weekly, the couple exchanged vows in 2006, a year before Altuve had signed with the Astros as an international free agent. He went on to make his big league debut in 2011.

Since then, Altuve has become the face of the organization, helping them win their maiden World Series in 2017 and repeating the feat in 2022.

The second baseman has nine All-Star nods and won the AL MVP in 2017. The Astros extended Altuve's contract by five more years, which will run down till the 2029 MLB season.

A decade after their marriage, the couple welcomed their first child, Melanie Andrea, in 2016 and were blessed with another in 2020. Nina has a degree in bioanlytics but enjoys being a full time mommy and Altuve's biggest supporter, both on and off the field.
