Dodgers Star Freddie Freeman's Family Grows Again
23 Feb
Summary
- Freddie and Chelsea Freeman are expecting their fourth child.
- The couple is using a surrogate for their upcoming arrival.
- Their son Max is recovering from Guillain-Barre syndrome.
Los Angeles Dodgers first baseman Freddie Freeman and his wife, Chelsea, are expanding their family once more, announcing they are expecting their fourth child. The couple, married in 2014, shared the news on Sunday, revealing they are using a surrogate for this pregnancy.
This news follows the family's challenging period as their five-year-old son, Max, bravely battled Guillain-Barre syndrome, a rare neurological disorder that caused paralysis. Max has been undergoing recovery and is reportedly '80 percent recovered' ahead of the 2025 MLB season. The Freemans have previously navigated fertility struggles, even turning to surrogacy for previous children before Chelsea experienced a surprise natural pregnancy.
Freddie Freeman's recent withdrawal from the World Baseball Classic may be linked to family health matters or his own recent injuries, as he prioritizes time with his family. The Dodgers star also carries the memory of his mother, who passed away from cancer when he was ten.
