Freddie Freeman is getting ready for another demanding year with the Los Angeles Dodgers. As the team begins spring training and looks ahead to a long Major League Baseball season, the veteran first baseman is also celebrating special news at home. Over the weekend, Freeman and his wife Chelsea shared that they are expecting their fourth child. The announcement quickly caught attention from fans who follow both his baseball journey and his family life.

The 36 year old is coming off a strong 2025 season. He hit .295 with 24 home runs and 90 RBIs, showing he remains a key part of the Dodgers lineup. While the team focuses on staying sharp during spring training, Freeman balances baseball preparation with the joy of expanding his family.

Chelsea Freeman reveals emotional details behind baby No. 4 news

Chelsea shared the announcement on Instagram with a heartfelt caption. “Worth the wait ��,” she wrote. “Baby #4 is on the way and our hearts are already so full. We are incredibly grateful for the amazing woman helping bring our baby into our lives, and we're choosing to honor her privacy as we walk this chapter.”

The couple did not reveal whether they are expecting a boy or a girl. Instead, they invited followers to share their guesses in the comments. Chelsea’s message also showed gratitude toward the surrogate helping them welcome their child. While they shared their happiness publicly, they made it clear that privacy remains important during this stage.

Inside Freddie and Chelsea’s growing family story

Freddie and Chelsea married in 2014 and welcomed their first son, Frederick Charles II, known as Charlie, in 2016. After facing challenges expanding their family, they decided to move forward with surrogacy. In an unexpected turn, Chelsea found out she was pregnant just days before an embryo transfer. Freeman later shared that they happily went “from one to three.”

They welcomed Brandon John in 2020 and Maximus Turner two months later in 2021. The couple often refers to their two youngest sons as “twins with a twist.” Their journey has included emotional moments, surprises and strong family support along the way.

Freeman recently sat out spring training games against the Los Angeles Angels and San Diego Padres, but there is no concern about his readiness. As the Dodgers prepare for a long season, Freeman steps into it with leadership on the field and growing happiness at home.
