Late last night, MLB superstar Shohei Ohtani surprised everyone with a personal announcement on Instagram—he's officially a married man! Known for keeping his personal life private, Ohtani didn't spill many details, but he did share that his new wife is Japanese. The announcement post, featuring his adorable dog Dekopin/Decoy, left fans buzzing with curiosity.
This news not only marks a new chapter in Ohtani's personal life but also comes amidst a significant career move to the Dodgers. The star pitcher and slugger expressed gratitude to his friends and fans for their support, hinting at exciting times ahead.
Ohtani's Instagram reveal has become his go-to for big announcements, like his recent signing with the Dodgers, reportedly for a staggering $700 million. Interestingly, this news seems to have caught even the Dodgers off guard, with manager Dave Roberts learning about the marriage from his wife.
While in Arizona for spring training, Ohtani shared a bit more about his wife, describing her as a "normal Japanese woman," not a celebrity, whom he's known for several years. Although he didn't disclose their wedding date, he mentioned that she's supporting his career move to the Dodgers, a decision he made independently.
Just days after this announcement, Ohtani made headlines on the field with the Dodgers, smashing a powerful two-run home run against the Chicago White Sox during spring training. With the season opener against the San Diego Padres approaching, fans are eager to see if Ohtani's new wife will join him in South Korea for the game.
