Mookie Betts and Brianna Hammonds have known each other since middle school. They had been dating since then.
In 2018, November 6th, they had a daughter together, just after Betts won his first-ever world series title playing for the Red Sox, who they decided to name Kynlee Ivory.
Finally, after 15 long years of dating, the Dodgers star proposed to his long-time girlfriend on the 7th of January, 2021.
Reportedly, he was in Nashville accepting an award from CC Sabathia, a former Major League Baseball pitcher who played for the famous New York Yankees.

Likewise, Betts was honored with the 2020 Legacy Award and fooled Hammonds into thinking they were on a dinner at the Sabathia’s as a celebration.
That is where Betts decided to seal the deal and propose to his significant other.
Betts posted an Instagram post two days later, along with a heartwarming caption that read,
“Briana has been by my side since we were teenagers. Together we have grown mentally, physically, and spiritually.”
He further added, “She is my best friend, mother of my child, my lover, and my soon-to-be wife.”
“Winning another World Series was great, but putting a ring on MY MVP is the REAL BLESSING! I am a blessed man.”

Mookie and Hammonds are undoubtedly one of the happiest couples in sports history.

Just take a look at either of their Instagram profile (Mookie Betts & Brianna Hammonds); they seem like the perfect couple, always smiling and posting about each other’s achievements.
Even after all this time together, they seem to treat each other with the same energy and excitement as they first started.
Brianna Hammonds, the mother of the couple’s child, Ivory, has led a secretive life.
Not much information can be found online; she intends to keep her religious views a secret.
Thanks to Betts’s post on Instagram, her birthday seemed to be on the 7th of August, 1994.
She stands 5’7″ or 1.7m tall, is American, and is currently 28 years old, two years younger than her husband, Mookie Betts.
Brianna started dating Betts on 28th August of the year 2005.
Education
Brianna’s full name is Brianna Michelle Hammonds, and she graduated in 2015 from Middle Tennessee State University. Again, this is the only information available regarding her education.
Betts did not graduate on the other side of the picture as he dropped out from the University of Tennessee after signing a contract with the Red Sox organization.
Moreover, she got engaged to Betts in 2015, and they were planning to get married 3 years later, in 2018, but postponed the date because of Brianna’s pregnancy.
Kynlee Ivory, The Only Child
Brianna Hammonds has always been secretive about her personal life; the news of her being pregnant did not surface until it was visibly clear that she was.
Likewise, the announcement of Ivory’s birth was made around the same time they were initially planning to get married.
They were reportedly expecting the delivery to be on the 8th of August 2018, but it happened two days early, on the 6th of November at 3:05 pm.
