Shohei Ohtani is a notoriously private man, so it’s not surprising he kept his marriage under wraps. The Dodgers star did reveal one thing about his wife in the social media post, sharing that she too is from Japan. Details about Ohtani’s wife have been scarce as they’ve become of the most secretive public relationships in the news, but the baseball star is starting to open up about his new love.
After news of his marriage broke, Ohtani spoke with Number Web about his wife. The baseball star shared some of the info people are dying to know about his mystery woman, revealing that he is older than her. The interview, in Japanese, was translated to English as he said, “I’m 30 this year, and she’s … maybe 28. Oh, sorry if I’m wrong (lol).” Although she sometimes visits Ohtani in America, he still constantly communicates with her over the phone when she’s back in Japan. “While we were on the phone, we were watching something together … We were watching comedy, and we were also watching dramas,” he said. “For example, we were watching ‘VIVANT,’ and right now we’re watching Netflix ‘House of Shinobi.'”
Ohtani told Number Web he appreciates their differences. He said that she likes to read and he doesn’t, but their “things that are different are different.” So, while fans may not know her name or what she looks like, Ohtani is sharing a bit more about her as time goes by.
