Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s wife Nathalie celebrates as Blue Jays star seals $500M dream with maiden HR of the season

Modified Apr 17, 2025 03:50 GMT

Vladimir Guerrero Jr.'s wife, Nathalie, was ecstatic at the sight of the Toronto Blue Jays first baseman crushing his maiden home run of the 2025 MLB campaign just a couple of days after signing his 14-year, $500 million contract extension with the ballclub.

"Vladdy" signed the contract on Monday, but the Jays lost their series opener against the Atlanta Braves 8-4 that same day. They bounced back in Game 2 with a 6-3 win and have now completed yet another series victory after winning the series finale 3-1 at Rogers Center on Wednesday night.

Guerrero crushed a long home run over the left field stands against Spencer Strider in the bottom of the sixth inning to give the Blue Jays a 2-0 lead in the series finale. Nathalie was quick to share the video of his home run on her social media story.

Guerrero started his 2025 MLB season on a high. He has a .292 batting average, one home run, 10 RBIs, and a .740 OPS off 21 hits in 18 games played so far this campaign. The Blue Jays are currently 11-8 for the season, sitting just 0.5 games behind the New York Yankees in second place in the AL East standings.

"Vladdy" is a four-time All-Star and has been highly impressive in both departments of the games since making his MLB debut in 2019. The Blue Jays last won the World Series in 1993 and last appeared in the ALCS in 2016.

The 26-year-old Canadian with Dominican roots will be eyeing silverware with the ballclub since his multi-year contract stipulates him to be a Blue Jay for life.

"Another achievement for you, my love. I'm happy to see you fulfill each of your dreams and goals that we prayed for and you worked so hard to make a reality... You deserve this and more! Happy to continue belonging to the Blue Jays family for a long time," she wrote.
