Are things about to get awkward between Giancarlo Stanton and latest New York Yankees recruit Cody Bellinger?
Stanton, 35, previously dated Bellinger’s longtime partner, Chase Carter, and MLB fans can’t get over it. Especially after the news that Bellinger, 29, was headed to the Yankees.
On Tuesday, December 17, it was announced that Bellinger had been acquired by the Yankees following a two-year stint on the Chicago Cubs. After the trade was announced, MLB fans were quick to revisit Stanton’s dating history — revealing that he and Carter, 27, had a romantic connection back in the day.
While Stanton and Carter never openly discussed their relationship, eagle-eyed baseball fans noticed the Sports Illustrated model sitting alongside fellow Yankees star Aaron Judge’s now-wife, Samantha Bracksieck, during a 2019 game. That same year, Carter and Stanton were photographed attending an event together in New York City. It’s unclear what really went down between them, but Carter was romantically linked to Bellinger the following year.
“Cody Bellinger’s Wife is Giancarlo Stanton’s Ex The Bronx is on fire,” one fan shared via X on Monday after news of Bellinger’s trade went public. Others shared an apparent Instagram Story photo Carter posted in the past, which showed her holding Stanton’s hand.
Another social media user added: “By the way, Cody Bellinger’s wife is Giancarlo Stanton’s ex. Talk about culture in the clubhouse.”
The model made things with Bellinger public in October 2020 when she posted a photo kissing the MLB star during one of his games. The couple celebrated their one-year anniversary in July 2021, announcing that Carter was pregnant with their first child. Their daughter Caiden was born in November of that year.
In October 2022, Carter announced that she and Bellinger were expecting their second child. “Caiden and Juniors sibling on the way,” she shared via Instagram at the time, referring to their daughter and dog. Their second baby girl, Cy, was born in April 2023.
“Cody caught her. Cy was a twin,” Carter captioned an Instagram post in May 2023 when sharing her birth story. “Her twin unfortunately didn’t make it (we also didn’t know there were twins until I birthed the placenta) but we are very blessed that Cy did.”
Bellinger proposed to Carter in June 2023. The model announced the news via social media, showing off her giant diamond ring. Multiple outlets have reported that they tied the knot in December 2023, but neither Bellinger nor Carter confirmed their marriage just yet. However, Carter has since changed her name on Instagram to Chase Bellinger.
