MLB star Freddie Freeman’s family guide: meet his wife and three children

MLB star Freddie Vrijman shares three sons with his wife, Chelsea Vrijman.

The Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman became a father in September 2016 when he and Chelsea welcomed son Charlie. Nearly five years later, Freddie and Chelsea, who tied the knot in 2014, welcomed two sons six weeks apart, one via a surrogate. Brandon came first in December 2020, followed by Maximus in February 2021.

The couple decided to use a surrogate mother after struggling to conceive a second child. They were already well into the surrogacy process when Chelsea unexpectedly became pregnant.

“We didn’t expect this at all, but it’s everything you want and more,” Freddie said USA today in March 2021 of having two sons back to back. “It’s just such a crazy situation really, if you just try to focus on it, but when you’re in it, and both guys are here, it’s the best thing that ever happened. It’s going to be a long few years, but it’s going to be great when all is said and done. We’re having a blast. They are great babies.”
