Mamiko Tanaka and Shohei Ohtani are expecting a child together.
On Saturday, the Los Angeles Dodgers All-Star shared the news on Instagram.
We are eager for the young novice to become a member of our family. The caption stated. A pink onesie, an ultrasound picture, a small pair of shoes, and what looked to be the couple’s dog, Decoy, were all included in the picture.
In February, Ohtani and Tanaka tied the knot.
In an Instagram post at the time, Ohtani stated, “I wanted everyone to know that I am now married. Not only have I started a new chapter in my career with the Dodgers, but I have also started a new life with someone from my native country of Japan who is very special to me.”
Aside from the news of the marriage and the baby, Ohtani has had a busy year.
Ohtani and the Dodgers recently defeated the New York Yankees in the World Series. The National League MVP award was another honor he received to cap off an outstanding season.
Earlier this year, the two-way sensation was also involved in a gambling scandal when his former interpreter admitted to taking millions of dollars from the baseball legend in order to cover gambling losses.
