Houston Astros superstar Jose Altuve and his wife Giannina Elizabeth have been together since 2006, five years before his MLB debut. The Astros star's wife was recently honored in a touching tribute from her sister-in-law Liz Cimetta Arenales.
Detroit Tigers ended Altuve's 2024 season in the Wild Card series. Despite boasting a lineup featuring himself, Alex Bregman, Yordan Alvarez, and Kyle Tucker in the top, the Astros couldn't win a single game in the series.
The early exit meant Altuve's offseason started early, enjoying it with his family. Altuve's wife has been present throughout his career, fulfilling the role of a dutiful wife and mother to their two girls. It seems like Giannina is a favorite in the family circle, as evidenced by her sister-in-law's IG story.
Liz Cimetta Arenales, the wife of Giannina's brother Alfredo David Cimetta Sandoval, shared an IG story with the caption "Good sister in laws exist & I love mine", tagging Giannina's IG.
Altuve's successful career as one of the best Astros players in history undoubtedly has the unyielding emotional support from his wife.
Jose Altuve’s wife Giannina responds to her sister-in-law's tribute
Giannina Altuve has been enjoying time with his husband, evidenced by her recent IG story of the pair on a candid date on what seemed like a cruise ship.
When her sister-in-law shared an IG story praising Giannina, it didn't take Altuve's wife too long to respond. Giannina shared the IG story with two emojis, showing appreciation.
As for Altuve and the Astros, their longstanding third baseman Alex Bregman seems poised to say goodbye to the Houston team. Bregman, who recently announced the second pregnancy of his wife Reagan Elizabeth, has been Astros' pillar along with Altuve.
Altuve has openly expressed his interest in having Bregman as his teammate. However, with teams needing clutch third basemen like the former LSU Tiger, the Astros retaining Bregman won't be easy.
