New York Mets outfielder hit a home run with his wife, .
Brandon and Chelsea announced their engagement in 2015 and tied the knot two years later. In a 2018 interview with the Mets Insider blog, Brandon said it was “fairly easy” for him to pick the perfect ring for Chelsea, a pediatric nurse.
“I’m picky but I knew what she liked and which cut she liked. I knew what she preferred. I had hints that we had talked about before,” he said. “I actually found it quite fun.”
The couple exchanged vows in Savannah, Georgia, and Brandon admitted he felt a bit of “anxiousness” leading up to his walk to the altar.
“That is normally how I feel going into a big game. Just anxious to get into it. Once I get into it, the nerves and the anxiousness will go away,” he said. “You also want things to go well. I went through a long engagement. A year and a half to two years. It was a long time coming.”
The couple shared a “great” first dance to ‘s “Making Memories of Us” — the same song his former teammate selected for his own wedding to wife Britney that same month.
“It was like letting the air out a little bit and being able to enjoy the moment,” Brandon shared. “We honestly just two-stepped the whole time.”
Brandon and Chelsea reached another special milestone in the summer of 2024 when they announced she’s pregnant with their first baby.
