Looking at the family ties between Ketel Marte and Vladimir Guerrero Jr.

The connection between Ketel Marte and Vladimir Guerrero Jr. goes well beyond their shared Dominican heritage. The two stars hail from the Dominican Republic. But their relationship goes much deeper than sharing citizenship.

Marte’s wife, Elisa Guerrero, just happens to be a cousin of Vladimir Guerrero Jr. According to The Athletic, Marte had known Elisa while growing up in the Dominican Republic.

Marte was drawn to her, but she wasn’t initially interested. Seeking help, Marte turned to his friend, Vladimir, who supported him in winning Elisa’s heart. Thanks to Vladimir’s recommendation, Marte and Elisa started dating in 2014. The couple got married soon after Marte reached the major leagues with the Seattle Mariners. The couple now have a growing family, as they have two children.
