Will Smith is the starting catcher for the Los Angeles Dodgers and was a big part of the 2024 World Series championship team. Smith married Cara Martinell in 2020, and they had their first daughter together in 2022.
It's common for wives of MLB players to become friends, and Cara Smith has become close with Ashley Kelly. Ashley is the wife of Dodgers reliever Joe Kelly, and she invited Cara Smith to a little league game over the weekend.
Cara Smith posted a handful of photos to her Instagram story on Sunday, showing herself and daughter Charlotte in attendance. The mother/daughter duo was there to watch Joe and Ashley Kelly's kid compete on the diamond.
"@ashleynicokelly tells me to come to a little league game... I got to a little league game" -Cara Smith Instagram story caption.
Joe Kelly was with the Los Angeles Dodgers during the 2024 season, but he is a free agent. Kelly and Will Smith have developed a bond as a battery combination, and that relationship has been transferred to their wives.
Will Smith is a former first-round selection of the Los Angeles Dodgers and has spent his entire career with the team. Smith met his wife at Louisville University, and they have since built their lives together in Los Angeles.
Will Smith's wife Cara, daughters, share in World Series victory
Will Smith had plenty of support from his wife, Cara, and their two young daughters throughout the 2024 World Series. Will and Cara welcomed their second daughter, Layton, just two days before the start of the Fall Classic in 2024. That added an extra person to the World Series celebration and Cara Smith shared some highlights after the Dodgers won the title.
"I will never get over this!! A week… one week… in between having our second daughter & the dodgers winning the World Series😭🙌🏼 >>naturally laytons trophy pic needed a moment🏆"-Cara Smith's IG caption.
The catcher will soon begin the 2025 MLB season, and he will have to leave his wife and two daughters at home. Cara Smith will continue to lean on friendships with other MLB wives, while also showing support for Will at Dodger Stadium.
