BREAKING: Tyler Glasnow’s girlfriend has announced her pregnancy, sending the LA Dodgers into a frenzy of joy and congratulations to the couple, but Tyler Glasnow says he is keeping everything in perspective, balancing personal joy with professional focus as the team makes a deep playoff push in one of the most competitive seasons in recent memory. The news broke via an Instagram story posted early this morning, in which Glasnow’s girlfriend, whose identity has mostly remained private during their time together, shared a heartfelt post showing off a small baby bump alongside a Dodgers onesie and a tiny pair of Nike sneakers. The caption read simply, “We can’t wait to meet you,” accompanied by a blue heart emoji and a baseball. Within minutes, the post went viral, and reactions poured in from teammates, friends, and the broader baseball world.
Inside the Dodgers clubhouse, the reaction was pure elation. Veteran outfielder Mookie Betts reportedly gathered players together before practice to congratulate Glasnow, followed by a round of cheers and claps echoing through Chavez Ravine. Clubhouse attendants decorated Glasnow’s locker with blue and white balloons, baby-themed banners, and a stuffed animal wearing a miniature Dodgers cap. Several teammates—including Freddie Freeman, Shohei Ohtani, and Will Smith—shared their excitement in post-practice interviews, expressing joy not only for Glasnow but also for the tight-knit culture the Dodgers have fostered in recent years. Manager Dave Roberts beamed with pride during his media availability, calling it a “blessing” and emphasizing how proud he was of the maturity and leadership Glasnow has brought to the team, both on and off the field.
Despite all the attention, Glasnow himself took a measured tone when asked about the announcement. “It’s obviously really exciting—life-changing stuff,” he said, standing in front of a swarm of microphones and reporters. “But right now, I’m just trying to focus on my starts and help this team win. That’s where my head’s at. The rest? We’ll celebrate in the offseason.” His words reflected a clear understanding of the magnitude of the moment, without losing sight of his responsibilities as the Dodgers’ ace. With the postseason looming, Glasnow has become one of the most relied-upon arms in the rotation, and he’s earned that trust by delivering consistent, dominant performances throughout the 2025 season.
For fans, the news is a refreshing reminder of the human side of professional sports. Tyler Glasnow has always been known for his towering presence on the mound—6-foot-8 of pure athleticism, armed with a devastating fastball-curveball combo—but in recent months, he has also emerged as one of the most relatable personalities in the game. Whether it’s his dry wit in postgame interviews, his quiet leadership behind the scenes, or now, his journey into fatherhood, fans have found more and more reasons to root for him. Social media lit up with congratulations not only from Dodgers fans but from players across the league. Former teammate and close friend Blake Snell tweeted, “Uncle Blake loading…” with laughing emojis, while other MLB stars like Aaron Judge and Bryce Harper also sent congratulatory messages.
While Glasnow’s girlfriend has typically stayed out of the public eye, the pregnancy announcement may usher in a new chapter in how the couple engages with the spotlight. Insiders say the two are planning to raise the child in Southern California, at least for the immediate future, and that they’ve already started looking at houses in the Pasadena area. It’s an exciting prospect for a couple that has so far managed to navigate fame with grace and a level of privacy rarely afforded to athletes and their partners. Close friends describe her as grounded, intelligent, and passionate about charitable work—especially children’s health causes, a passion that may now take on new meaning.
But even amid this whirlwind of personal celebration, the Dodgers remain focused on their goal of bringing another championship to Los Angeles. As of today, the team sits atop the NL West, but the competition is fierce, and every game matters. Glasnow, who’s sporting a 2.71 ERA with 193 strikeouts this season, has been at the center of the Dodgers’ success. He’s been dominant in high-leverage situations, composed under pressure, and, most importantly, healthy—a huge milestone considering his injury history earlier in his career. The idea of balancing the gravity of impending fatherhood with the intense grind of a pennant chase might seem daunting, but Glasnow appears up to the challenge. “One thing I’ve learned in baseball and in life,” he said with a calm smile, “is that nothing ever comes at the perfect time. You just have to adjust, keep your priorities straight, and appreciate the ride.”
