Her dream of motherhood is now coming true, a milestone that resonates deeply with Ohtani, who once listed becoming a father by age 28 on his high school wishlist.
Known for her basketball prowess, Tanaka shared lighthearted details about herself, including her love for pudding, hamburgers, and her favorite color, purple.
For now, Shohei Ohtani’s year of milestones continues to inspire admiration across the sports world.
The announcement follows a year of incredible achievements for Ohtani.
In his debut season with the Los Angeles Dodgers, he not only helped clinch a World Series title against the Yankees but also earned his third MVP award and was named AP Male Athlete of the Year.
The couple, who married in February 2024 in a private ceremony, has largely kept their personal life out of the spotlight.
As the Ohtani household prepares for this new addition, MLB fans can only imagine the legacy the “little rookie” might inherit.
Ohtani revealed his marriage in a February Instagram post, describing Tanaka as “someone very special from my native Japan.”
