Rumors surrounding Daniel Vogelbach's personal life have been doing the rounds in the media. The New York Mets player is married to Kristina Rusii, a flight attendant. They met when Vogelbach was playing for the Seattle Mariners.
Vogelbach started his career in the Chicago Cubs system in the minor leagues before he was traded to the Mariners. He had five successful seasons in Seattle, including an All-Star appearance in 2019. However, due to lack of form, he was traded or picked up by various teams for short stints. He eventually made it to the New York Mets roster and has since found some stability.
Much of his success can be attributed to his wife, who has been a constant support for Vogelbach.
Rusii grew up in Las Vegas along with her sister before moving to Seattle. As per her social media posts, she is a big fan of the Seattle Seahawks.
Before she became a flight attendant, she used to work at Cutters Point Coffee shop, a restaurant in Seattle, where she met her future husband. In an interview, Daniel mentioned how he felt like he had to talk to Kristina when he first saw her. After dating for a bit, the couple briefly split but eventually got back together.
Daniel proposed to Kristina in 2020, and the couple shared their precious moment on social media. The couple got married on Jan. 29 2022 at Hyatt Regency Coconut Point Resort and Spa in Bonita Springs, Florida.
