Los Angeles Dodgers shortstop Mookie Betts began dating his longtime girlfriend turned wife, Brianna Hammonds, back in their school days. Brianna is his biggest supporter and has attended his games since their teenage years.
She frequently shares their life updates online and on Tuesday posted a picture of herself on Instagram. Brianna Betts shared a close-up selfie on her story.
In the picture, she can be seen rocking long hair styled in a sleek look, wearing a white top paired with a white headband and a pendant. Her makeup is subtle, with glossy lips and well-defined eyes.
In the background behind Brianna, there appears to be a textured surface with geometric patterns. She is the founder and CEO of Honee Inc. and has a large following on social media.
Mookie Betts recalled how he asked Brianna Hammonds, his now-wife, out for the first time
According to People, Mookie Betts and Brianna Hammonds first met in middle school and started dating shortly after. In an interview with Ebony in December 2021, Betts reflected on the moment he asked his now-wife out:
“When I finally asked her out, she said she didn’t hear me, but she heard me…So the next day I end up asking her again. I’m thinking, You get one shot. I only have but so much courage, I’m pacing in my room and thinking, I ain’t asking again. I don’t know what [made] me ask again. She said yes and my MySpace status changed.”
Betts is coming off a stellar 2024 season with the LA Dodgers becoming a three-time World Series champion following their victory. He posted a .289 batting average with 19 home runs, 75 RBIs, and a .863 OPS last season.
Betts will enter his sixth season with the Dodgers in 2025, continuing his 12-year, $365 million contract.
