Toronto Blue Jays hitter Vladimir Guerrero Jr. had an exceptional 2024 campaign, finishing with a .323 batting average, 30 home runs and 103 RBIs. His consistent play day in and day out was rewarded as the infielder earned his fourth All-Star selection, while also being given a Silver Slugger award in November.
While Guerrero gave it his all on the diamond, his wife, Nathalie, was often present at the ballpark, cheering him on.
On Sunday on Instagram, Nathalie penned a sweet 26th birthday tribute dedicated to her husband.
"Happy Birthday baby ❤️," Nathalie captioned her Instagram story in Spanish.
Vladdy and Nathalie reportedly first met each other as teenagers while growing up in Montreal. The pair dated for five years before tying the knot in 2023. Just like Guerrero, Nathalie is of Dominican descent.
