What we know about Nelson Cruz's personal life ft. Solani Genao and Yuberkis Mateo

Nelson Cruz has an interesting family life. The newly retiring MLB slugger got married in 2009 but is not currently married. He married his then wife Solani Genao that year, but their marriage has not apparently stood the test of time.

There's no evidence of a divorce, but he's currently with a different partner. Many athletes prefer to keep their private lives private, so ll this all may have happened off the field and well away from the public eye.

Now, he has a girlfriend named Yuberkis Mateo. The slugger had a relationship with her for a little while before making it public in 2021. She and their two children appeared together at a game when he was playing in Washington.

It suggests that the two are together and have been for a while, but it's unknown when his relationship with Genao ended.
