Nick Swisher and JoAnna Garcia's relationship
About her relationship with the former MLB outfielder, Garcia told Us Weekly in 2018:
"He was really consistent and he was very willing to prove himself. He’s like, ‘I don’t want you to think that I’m some stereotypical athlete. He was very honest about that. He was like, ‘I’m only going to be dating you and you are the only one and until you believe that I’ll be here reminding you of that.’ And that just really struck me like he’s in it to win it.”
She also noted that their relationship wasn't what she pictured, but that Swisher is a good person with a fun personality.
“It certainly wasn’t the first type of profession for a guy that I wanted to date ... I went to go see him play a baseball game against the Mets and I thought, ‘Wow, he’s just really refreshing and he’s really kind. He’s exactly what people would imagine him to be. He is what you think he is. He’s a good egg.”
The two have been together ever since and have two children together.
