Pete Alonso may not be sure about what the next game brings. But when he first saw now wife back in 2015—he knew without a doubt—that she was ‘the one.’ As they say, when you know, you know! He was a handsome hunk playing baseball in the Cape Cod League in 2015, and Haley was attending Michigan State University when they first met. But unlike many couples, they didn’t let distance didn’t come between them, and they continued their relationship as they finished school. 

Pete talking about his beautiful wife had said in an interview, “I just couldn’t get enough of her.” And hence, just after courting for some years, they got engaged in 2018. And got married in Tampa three years later. Between this, Pete made his big MLB debut in 2019. And Haley was the force beside him and giving him the strength he needed to push through. 

Haley Alonso, the woman who stole Pete Alonso’s heart away

Haley Alonso is originally from Boston and she studied journalism and political science. She graduated in 2016 from Michigan State uni and was a member of the Alpha Phi. While she was always stellar in her studies, she always took pride in her family and traditions. And so when she married Pete Alonso, they had their heritage wrapped around their celebrations.

Haley ensured that both the Spanish and Irish roots were honored with tapas, paella, and a cigar-rolling station as their wedding week kicked off in Tampa. It was just beautiful—a blend of two families, cultures, and traditions. Haley best put it in words: “The perfect backdrop.” Their wedding ceremony was perfect, and Pete called it “the best day” of his life.

And on the occasion of their first anniversary, Pete shared a lovely note on Instagram. “Today marks the one-year anniversary of the most special moment of my life. I am the luckiest man alive to marry the love of my life!!! It’s been so incredible being your husband and I can’t wait for everything ahead of us. I love you so much @haleyralonso.” And even Haley posted a photo from their wedding, reminiscing about their beautiful love story. Their love for each other has only grown stronger. After all, she has been with the man through thick and thin.

How Haley is more than just a baseball wife

Haley Alonso has been on Pete’s side since he started his baseball journey at the University of Florida to be an MLB star. In fact, when Pete got the much-awaited call for him to join major in 2019, he and Haley were emotional. Haley shared, “Pete called me today at around noon and said ‘Hey babe, I’m a big leaguer. I get to play tomorrow on opening day.’ we both cried…” Haley’s pride and happiness could be seen through that post. Then she watched Pete shine in his rookie season and get back-to-back home run Derby wins. All through the major events of Pete’s life, she was there like a rock. 

But Haley Alonso’s role goes beyond just cheering from the grandstands. She has been Pete’s biggest support off the field too. When he got into a car accident, she was there beside him. For any player, even a minor injury can break hearts and crush dreams, but Pete had his wife’s support. And the New York Mets star has never been shy to show it, in fact, last Valentine’s Day he called her his “forever Valentine.”

Plus, the couple also know how to give back and they have founded the Alonso Foundation. They aim to support underserved communities through home run derbies, fundraising events, donation drives, and more. They have raised money for veterans in need, for animals, disaster relief. The duo is a powerhouse couple, both on and off the field.
