The world knows Freddie Freeman as the powerhouse first baseman for the Los Angeles Dodgers, a former Atlanta Braves legend and World Series champion. But behind every great athlete is a pillar of support. For Freeman, that pillar is his wife, Chelsea, whose love story began not in a stadium, but on a college campus, and has weathered over a decade of baseball's demanding spotlight.
From Florida Campus to Home Plate: The Beginning of a Romance
Their story started in 2011. Freddie Freeman, already a rising star drafted by the Atlanta Braves and playing in Major League Baseball, crossed paths with Chelsea Marie Goff, a student at the University of Central Florida who was also managing a modeling career. Despite being at different life stages—he was a professional athlete, she was in college—a strong connection was instant. They began dating, embarking on a challenging long-distance relationship that would test their commitment in their early twenties.
The couple's bond only grew stronger with time. In January 2014, nearly three years after they first met, Freddie proposed. Chelsea joyfully shared the news on Instagram, posting a touching tribute about how Freddie had changed her life. Their fairy-tale wedding followed on November 22, 2014, in Miami Beach, Florida. Before the big day, fans got a special glimpse when Chelsea appeared on the reality TV show “Say Yes to the Dress: Atlanta” to choose her wedding gown.
Building a Family and Cheering from the Stands
The Freemans welcomed their first son, Frederick Charles II “Charlie” Freeman, in September 2016. After facing fertility challenges, their family grew in a unique and beautiful way. They welcomed two more sons: Brandon John in December 2020 and Maximus Turner in February 2021. The boys, born close together, are affectionately called “twins with a twist.”
Throughout Freddie's illustrious career, Chelsea has been his constant. She stood by him during his 12 glorious seasons with the Atlanta Braves, including the euphoric 2021 World Series victory, and his subsequent move to the Los Angeles Dodgers. She has cheered him on through every All-Star selection and the grueling 162-game regular season schedule, a true fixture in the stands.
Beyond the Ballpark: Entrepreneurship and Lasting Legacy
Chelsea Freeman is more than just a baseball wife. She is a savvy entrepreneur who has successfully built her own brand. She founded the Chelsea Freeman Collection, a boutique that sells chic game-day outfits. This venture cleverly merges her passion for fashion with the baseball culture that is central to their lives, tying her personal brand directly to the sport that brought them together.
In 2025, the couple celebrated a significant milestone—their 11th wedding anniversary. This celebration marked over a decade of a relationship that was built on a foundation of love and mutual respect, long before Freddie Freeman became a household name in baseball. Their journey from college sweethearts to a family navigating the MLB spotlight remains a testament to enduring partnership and shared dreams.
