Much like baseball, the relationship between siblings is a game of dedication, understanding, and occasional home runs. Moreover, growing up in the footsteps of a baseball icon shapes a bond that is truly exceptional.
For D’Angelo and Alexandra Ortiz, living under the shadow of the Red Sox icon David Ortiz meant growing up in the spotlight. Their bond has been more than just their legendary last name. They’ve shared breakthroughs and always evidently supported each other’s achievements and stood by each other through it all.
On Alexandra’s birthday, her brother D’Angelo took to social media to make sure the world knew how much she means to him. He shared a heartfelt story captioned, “Happy birthday to the best sister in the world @official_v3da love u.” .This adorable gesture was a reflection of their relationship.
There has never been a moment when Ortiz siblings weren’t there for each other—from Alexandra delivering an emotional performance of the national anthem at Fenway Park in 2016, moving her father to tears, to D’Angelo being drafted by the Boston Red Sox in the 19th round of the 2024 MLB draft. It was surely a testament to the Ortiz family’s deep-rooted connection to the legendary ballpark and the love they share.
D’Angelo has followed his father’s footsteps in baseball, whereas Alexandra has boldly carved her own path outside the sports world. And honestly, both are thriving. David Ortiz may be a Red Sox icon, but such moments prove that his greatest inheritance isn’t just his career—it’s the beautiful family bond he’s built.
David Ortiz and Maria Yeribel are set to tie the knot
Big Papi has sent shockwaves through the baseball world by making it official that he’s now engaged to longtime partner Maria Yeribel. On Monday, 17th March, Ortiz and Yeribel together took it to Instagram to announce the big news. With some glimpses of their special moment, Ortiz captioned the post, writing, “It’s official about the component. The crazy 34 is on the loose…. What I start I finish and more with a human being as good and noble as you @yeribel17 Love you, baby, happy birthday!”. Fans were delighted to receive a front-row seat to the next chapter in his life.
The post highlighted a stunning shot of Yeribel proudly showing her sparkling diamond ring. She absolutely looked like a gorgeous bride-to-be. Ortiz went down on one knee as he slipped the ring onto Yeribel’s finger. They’ve been linked to each other since 2019, and their love has been reflected on the screen ever since. She has never missed an opportunity to make it evident how much she admires him.
Back in 2022, she shared a beautiful message, which was more of a tribute to Ortiz. She called him “the moon, the sun, and the star that lights up my heart.” Without any shadow of a doubt, Ortiz is definitely somebody who is big on relationships.
Big Papi never misses a chance to show that love, both on and off the field, is what really matters.
