Okay, so the other day I was chilling and scrolling through some sports news, and I stumbled upon something about Albert Pujols. You know, the baseball legend? Well, it turns out the guy got married again! I mean, I knew he and his first wife, Deidre, split up, but I didn’t realize he’d already tied the knot with someone new.
So, naturally, I got curious. Who is this new woman in Albert’s life? I started digging around a bit. Turns out her name is Nicole Fernandez. Apparently, they got married in September 2023. It felt like just yesterday I was reading about Albert and Deidre being this power couple. I remember reading somewhere that they were married for like, 22 years! It’s crazy how time flies.
Delving Deeper into Deidre
This whole thing got me thinking about Deidre, too. I recall reading that she’s a mom. She has a daughter, Isabella, from a previous relationship. It also got me thinking about all the stuff Deidre went through with her health. I remember hearing about her brain surgery. I mean, she had a brain tumor, right? I think they found it back in October 2021, if I’m not mistaken. She had delayed it because she was a workaholic. She eventually did get surgery, thankfully.
- I also found out that Albert has four kids of his own.
- He has this foundation, the Pujols Family Foundation, that helps kids with Down Syndrome and also helps out poor folks in the Dominican Republic. That’s pretty cool, right?
- Oh, and I guess Christianity is a huge deal for Albert. His website says something about God being first in the Pujols family.
I did a little more digging about Albert’s background. It seems like he grew up in Santo Domingo, in the Dominican Republic. It sounds like his grandma, America Pujols, and a bunch of his uncles and aunts raised him, and he’s an only child. His dad’s name is Bienvenido Pujols, from what I gathered.
Anyway, I just found it all pretty interesting. One minute you think you know a bit about someone, and the next you’re diving into their whole life story! Marriage, kids, health scares, new beginnings – it’s a lot to take in. It just goes to show that there’s always more to people than meets the eye, even with famous sports stars.
