The marriage of MLB player Jarrod Saltalamacchia was always the talk of the town because of the age gap of 14 years between him and his wife, Ashley Saltalamacchia.
Ashley Saltalamacchia was a gym teacher at Jarrod’s high school, Royal Palm Beach High School, where they met and fell in love, which was shocking for many.
However, they did not date until the MLB player graduated from there. They started dating in 2004, a year after Jarrod’s graduation and later married on July 12, 2005.
According to a YouTube interview, Jarrod proposed to Ashley first, but they halted the engagement for some time.
Later, Ashley approached him on the way to a mall’s parking lot and proposed to him again.
Now, Jarrod Saltalamacchia and his wife, Ashley Saltalamacchia, are parents to four daughters: Sidney, Hunter, Sloane, and Charlie.
Jarrod Saltalamacchia left the field in 2019 for his children, who are all athletes
On January 28, 2019, Jarrod Saltalamacchia mentioned retiring from baseball in a Facebook post to spend time with his children, who had waited 16 years for his success and were his greatest strength.
Jarrod and Ashley had their first daughter, Sidney Saltalamacchia, on December 26, 2006. She is a proud 17-year-old Tribe Volleyball club player.
Following Sidney’s path is her younger sister, Hunter Saltalamacchia, the couple’s second child, born on December 20, 2009. She is also a Volleyball player in the same club, preparing for the National Champion.
Next is Sloane Saltalamacchia, Jarrod’s third daughter, a ballet dancer. She is currently 13 years old, born on April 14, 2011.
The youngest is Charlie Saltalamacchia, born on April 24, 2015. She seems to follow in her sisters’ footsteps as she is also interested in Volleyball and dancing.
Jarrod has filled his Instagram with his daughter’s post as a proud father. He also thanks his wife, with whom he has completed 19 years of togetherness, for making him the guy he is today.
Ashley Saltalamacchai is a Florida native of American nationality who follows the Christian religion. She was born in 1971, so her current age is 53.
The mother of four once mentioned that she would live a low-key life if her partner retired from baseball, which is the case now.
Ashley rarely appears in front of the camera. You can only spot her on her daughter’s and husband’s Instagram posts, as her own Instagram is private.
