The couple welcomed their first daughter, Melanie Andrea, in 2016 and a second daughter in 2020. They reside in Pearland, Texas and Altuve's wife has been his biggest supporter since he made his big league debut in 2011. On Monday, the Astros opened a three-game series against the Mariners at T-Mobile Park.

Altuve crushed a home run over the left-center field in the top of the sixth inning to cut the deficit to 2-1. But despite his heroics, the Astros lost the contest 4-3. Nina reacted to her husband's home run in a social media story.
