LOS ANGELES — Shohei Ohtani is expanding his family with new additions.
The 30-year-old superstar of the Los Angeles Dodgers took to Instagram on Saturday to share the exciting news that he and his 28-year-old spouse, Mamiko Tanaka, are expecting a child in 2025.
The post expressed his enthusiasm, stating, “Can’t wait for the little rookie to join our family soon!”
Accompanying the announcement was a heartwarming photo showcasing their cherished dog, Decoy, along with a pink ruffled baby onesie, miniature shoes, and a sonogram obscured by a baby emoji.
Ohtani, who has recently been honored as The Associated Press Male Athlete of the Year for a third consecutive time, revealed in February that he had tied the knot with Tanaka, a former professional basketball player hailing from Japan.
This revelation took both his teammates and fans by surprise, given the player’s preference for maintaining a low profile.
The excitement surrounding their upcoming addition highlights a joyful chapter in Ohtani’s life, as he balances his celebrity status with family life.
