Mookie Betts, a former MVP and World Series winner currently playing with the Los Angeles Dodgers, is married to Brianna Hammonds. The two have been together since middle school, which is where they met. Just after Betts' World Series win in Boston, he welcomed his daughter to the world.

The two did not get married until 2021, though. He posted on Instagram after the engagement, paying tribute to Hammonds.

"She is my best friend, mother of my child, my lover, and my soon-to-be wife.”

Despite being married to an MLB superstar in Betts, Hammonds has remained out of the spotlight. Her social media profiles are private and she leaves her husband to take care of the media and spotlight. Not much is known about her profession either.

When the two got married, Hammonds joked:

"I love you for the arm that can throw someone out at home plate, but can’t make his dirty clothes reach the hamper.”

Mookie Betts' 2022 season

Despite not winning another MVP award or even being named one of the three finalists in the National League, Betts continued to show why he's considered one of the best players in baseball.

He posted a stellar 6.6 fWAR, which was good for eighth in Major League Baseball and sixth in the National League. He posted a 144 wRC+, which was the third-highest total in his illustrious career.

He slashed .269/.349/.533 and hit 35 home runs and 82 RBIs with a quietly incredible 117 runs scored. He anchored the lineup with the Los Angeles Dodgers that won 111 games.

On defense, he was as good as ever. In right field, he posted a sterling 15 defensive runs saved en route to another Gold Glove award. He even recorded 46 innings at second base, where he was fairly dependable.
