Bobby Bonilla, a former MLB player renowned for his stints with the Pittsburgh Pirates and the New York Mets, has been happily married to his second wife, Christina Attanasio Solomon-Bonilla.
Six-time All-Star Bobby Bonilla has been celebrating the famous ‘Bobby Bonilla Day’ on July 1 with his loving wife, Christina Attanasio Solomon-Bonilla, for years—including this year, when he collected another $1.193 million from the New York Mets.
While this year the couple chose to celebrate ‘Bobby Bonilla Day’ privately, back in July 2023, his longtime partner—now wife—Christina Attanasio Solomon-Bonilla, encouraged Bobby Bonilla to share the day with Mets fans.
The couple surprised fans at 99 Bottles in Sarasota, offering $1.19 pints of Captain Lawrence Orange Crusher.
Bobby Bonilla often expresses his love and respect for his longtime partner, Christina, regarding her as his constant support and love of his life.
While information about when the couple began dating or tied the knot is not publicly available, Bobby Bonilla started seeing Christina after his divorce from his first wife, Migdalia ‘Millie’ Bonilla.
Bobby Bonilla and his former wife, Migdalia, were married for over two decades before their separation in 2009.
The couple had an acrimonious divorce and disagreed over the division of assets, including LLCs, with Migdalia claiming Bobby hadn’t fully disclosed financial information about the companies.
According to reports, Bobby had publicly stated that his former wife suffered from an unspecified mental illness, which she reportedly found upsetting.
The former couple also shares two children, a daughter named Danielle and a son, Brandon Bonilla, who is following in his father’s footsteps and pursuing a baseball career, primarily as a pitcher.
Brandon Bonilla was drafted by the Baltimore Orioles in the 13th round of the 2016 MLB Draft, and he has played in the Orioles’ minor league system, including stints with the Aberdeen IronBirds.
He was also a standout player at Grand Canyon University and Arizona State.
Despite his divorce from Migadalia, Bobby Bonilla maintains a close relationship with his children and has found love again in his longtime partner, Christina.
