While many recognise Taylor North Gausman as the supportive wife of Toronto Blue Jays pitcher Kevin Gausman, her own narrative is a compelling tale of creativity, education, and personal growth that stands firmly on its own. Far from just a fixture in stadium stands, Taylor has crafted a multifaceted life rooted in strong family values and professional ambition.
From Louisiana Roots to LSU Spirit: The Formative Years
Taylor North was born and raised in Lake Charles, Louisiana, in a close-knit family with her parents, Michelle and Randy North, and her sister, Madison. Her upbringing was grounded and creative, instilling values that continue to guide her. She attended Alfred M. Barbe High School before embarking on her collegiate journey at Louisiana State University (LSU).
At LSU, Taylor was more than just a student; she was an LSU cheerleader. This role demanded immense commitment, discipline, and teamwork, qualities that helped shape her confident spirit. She graduated from the university in 2014. Crucially, LSU is also where her personal story intertwined with baseball. It was there she met Kevin Gausman, a standout pitcher for the LSU Tigers baseball team. Their bond grew through shared campus life and mutual support.
When Kevin made his Major League Baseball debut with the Baltimore Orioles in 2013, Taylor was a steadfast part of his journey, a role she had embraced since their college days. The couple got engaged in 2015 and tied the knot in December 2016. Since then, Taylor has been a constant pillar of support through multiple team trades, relocations, and the intense demands of a professional sports career.
Building an Independent Identity: Photography and Public Presence
Beyond her family role, Taylor North Gausman has proactively built a successful career for herself. She is now a professional lifestyle and boudoir photographer, running her own venture called Taylor Gausman Photography. Her work focuses on creating personal, story-driven portraits that emphasise emotion, confidence, and authenticity. For Taylor, photography is both a profession and a powerful medium for self-expression.
Her growing public presence occasionally captures fan attention, highlighting her distinct identity. A notable moment came during the World Series when she stepped into Dodger Stadium wearing a bold denim-on-denim outfit. The look went viral following a Toronto Blue Jays victory over the Los Angeles Dodgers, showcasing her unique style to a wider audience.
A Life Defined by More Than the MLB Spotlight
Today, Taylor North Gausman is recognised not merely as Kevin Gausman's wife but as a creative professional, a devoted mother, and a grounded individual. Her journey—from the cheerleading squads of LSU to managing a photography business while navigating the transient life of an MLB family—demonstrates steady personal growth. Her story is a testament to building a fulfilling life that intersects with, but is not defined by, the glare of professional sports fame.
Her path remains rooted in the core values from her Louisiana upbringing: family, creativity, and resilience. While she stands beside her husband through every pitch and season, Taylor continues to author her own compelling story far beyond the baseball diamond.
