Dodgers Star Freddie Freeman's Inspiring Family Story: From Infertility to Surrogacy

As of October 2025, Los Angeles Dodgers star Freddie Freeman and his wife Chelsea have been together for over a decade. The couple began dating in June 2011 and got married in November 2014. They are now proud parents to three sons: Charlie, born in 2016, and twins Brandon John and Maximus Turner, who arrived in 2020 and 2021 respectively via surrogacy.

The Freemans have faced their fair share of challenges, including Freddie's demanding career as a professional athlete. In March 2021, Freddie expressed how difficult it is to be away from his family, saying, "I'm not built to be able to do that. I need my family." However, Chelsea has been a constant source of support, cheering Freddie on throughout his career, including his recent World Series run with the Dodgers.

The couple's journey to expand their family was not without its own obstacles. After welcoming Charlie via emergency C-section in 2016, Chelsea opened up about their struggles with infertility, describing it as "one of the hardest things mentally" they've gone through. Undeterred, the Freemans turned to surrogacy, and were surprised when Chelsea became pregnant again at the same time. Today, the family of five is thriving, with Chelsea and their sons often seen at Freddie's games.
