Inside Randy Arozarena’s Married Life and Relationship History

Randy Arozarena González is a professional outfielder in Major League Baseball (MLB) for the Tampa Bay Rays. He has also played for the St. Louis Cardinals before. 

Arozarena made history in 2020 by hitting 10 home runs in a single postseason, breaking the previous MLB record. 

He earned the MVP title for the 2020 American League Championship Series after hitting four of those home runs against the Houston Astros. The MLB player is a married man and a father. 

Randy Arozarena is married to a Colombian wife 

Arozarena tied the knot with Cenelia Pinedo Blanco, a Colombian citizen, on November 13, 2020. As per ESPN, Blanco hailed from Cartagena de Indias and completed her education at the National Open University in Bogota.

The couple shares a daughter named Alaia, born in September 2021, and Cenelia has another daughter from a previous relationship. 

The player celebrated the arrival of his daughter by posting pictures and videos of the bay on his Instagram account, expressing gratitude to God for his blessings and pledging to protect and care for his daughter. He posted Instagram photos and videos of the bay on Instagram, writing:

“Thanks to my almighty God for giving me all the blessings of this world and today, back to become a Father you have given me an angel my beautiful daughter, Alaia. I just ask you to protect me always and give me all the health in this world to protect and take care of her all my life.”

While Blanco maintains a low profile, she occasionally appears on Randy’s Instagram feed.

Randy Arozarena was arrested on charges of abducting his daughter 

In November 2020, the same month he married Blanco, he was arrested for allegedly attempting to abduct his daughter from her mother, who is Randy’s ex-partner. The daughter’s name is Lia Antonella.

It seems that the altercation caught the attention of residents in the area, who confronted Arozarena while he was stopped at a traffic light after the incident. On the following Tuesday, the Rays issued a statement acknowledging the reports that Arozarena had been taken into custody.

Also mentioned in Okay Bliss, the MLB star was accused of assaulting his ex-partner’s father. However, Randy was released when his ex-partner told the Mexican legal system that she did not wish to pursue charges, and Randy had made amends for any damages.

It appears that Arozarena has reconciled with his ex-partner after the incident, as evidenced by his Instagram post on September 1, 2022. The post featured a photo of Lia celebrating her 4th birthday, and Randy expressed his love for his daughter, hoping she would remain healthy and live a long life.

He wrote, “My little princess is turning 4 years old. God always takes care of you my daughter and gives you lots of health and allow you to see many more years. I love you with all my heart.”

Randy Arozarena is willing to play for Mexico 

 Before defecting, Arozarena played for his home country of Cuba at the youth levels of baseball. He participated in the 2011 U-16 Baseball World Cup and the 2013 U-18 Baseball World Cup in Taichung, where Cuba earned a bronze medal.

In 2020, Arozarena declared his intention to play for Mexico, stating that he felt like he represented the country. He also cited his daughter, who lives in Mexico, and the friends he had made during his time there as reasons for wanting to play for Mexico.

In October 2022, it was officially announced that Arozarena would be representing Mexico in the 2023 World Baseball Classic.
