Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Sends Fans Into a Frenzy With Joyful Announcement: He’s Going to Be a Father Again — and the Baby News Comes With a Surprise Twist.NL
SO HAPPY: Vladimir Guerrero Jr. Announces Baby No. 3 – “I Can’t Stay Calm Anymore!” – And the Shocking Gender Reveal That Has Fans in Tears
In a heartwarming late-night bombshell that’s lighting up social media like a fireworks show at Rogers Centre, Toronto Blue Jays superstar Vladimir Guerrero Jr. has declared himself “the happiest man alive.” The 26-year-old first baseman, fresh off a monster 2025 season that included a World Series appearance and his landmark 14-year, $500 million extension, took to Instagram around midnight to share the news that’s got Blue Jays Nation – and the entire MLB world – buzzing: His wife, Nathalie Guerrero, is pregnant with their third child! But Vladdy didn’t stop at the announcement; he dropped a jaw-dropping detail about the baby that caught everyone off guard, sending fans into an emotional frenzy.
“I can’t stay calm anymore — I’m going to be a father again!” Guerrero captioned a touching video montage on his Instagram (@vladdyjr27), which has already racked up over 2.5 million views in under 12 hours. The clip features Nathalie glowing in a custom Blue Jays maternity dress, their two adorable daughters – Vlaimel (8) and Vlaishel (7) – holding up a sign that reads “Big Sisters 2026,” and a gender reveal balloon popping in a shower of pink confetti. Yes, you guessed it: Baby No. 3 is a girl! “We’re adding another princess to the Guerrero castle,” Vladdy beamed in the video, his voice cracking with emotion as he kissed Nathalie’s forehead. “This little girl is going to have the best big sisters in the world, and I can’t wait to coach her first home run.”
The shocking twist? The reveal came via a surprise orchestrated by the couple’s daughters, who – in a nod to their dad’s legendary power-hitting genes – used a mini baseball bat to “hit” a softball rigged with pink powder. Fans were floored; no one expected the gender drop to tie so perfectly into Guerrero’s on-field persona. “Vladdy’s life is a highlight reel – from 48 bombs this year to baby bombs at home!” tweeted @BlueJaysFanatic, a sentiment echoed across X with #GuerreroGirls trending No. 1 globally. Celebrities piled on too: Teammate Bo Bichette commented, “Uncle Bo reporting for diaper duty! ,” while Shohei Ohtani added a simple heart-eyes emoji, a sweet callback to their epic World Series matchup.
For those just tuning in, Vladimir Guerrero Jr. and Nathalie have been the MLB’s ultimate power couple since meeting online back in 2018. The Dominican-Canadian phenom, son of Hall of Famer Vladimir Guerrero Sr., popped the question in a private ceremony in the Dominican Republic, and they tied the knot on March 11, 2023, in an intimate affair surrounded by family and close friends. Nathalie, 27, born and raised in Canada, is more than just arm candy – she’s the backbone of the VG27 Foundation, the nonprofit Guerrero launched in 2022 to support kids and families in education, sports, health, and environmental causes across the Dominican Republic, the U.S., and Canada. “Nathalie is my rock,” Vladdy shared in a post-announcement story. “Through the long seasons, the playoffs, everything – she’s the one keeping our family strong. This baby girl is our next chapter.”
Their daughters, Vlaimel (born August 1, 2017) and Vlaishel (born August 2018), are already mini-celebs in their own right. Nathalie frequently shares wholesome glimpses on her Instagram (@nathaliii30), where she boasts 64,000+ followers. From family outings at Rogers Centre – where the girls rock tiny Blue Jays jerseys with “Guerrero” on the back – to holiday photo dumps featuring matching PJs and three fluffy dogs, the Guerrero household is pure joy. Vladdy’s a hands-on dad too; he’s coached Vlaimel’s flag football and gymnastics teams, and Vlaishel’s been spotted tossing soft toss with him pre-game. “These girls make every homer feel small,” he told MLB Network last month. Now, with a third daughter on the way (due summer 2026), the family dynamic is set to level up – imagine three little sluggers cheering Dad from the stands!
This announcement hits especially sweet after the Blue Jays’ rollercoaster 2025 campaign. Guerrero slashed .315/.390/.610 with 48 home runs, 121 RBIs, and a Gold Glove at first base, powering Toronto to their first World Series since 1993. Though they fell to the Dodgers in seven games, Vladdy’s postseason heroics – including a Game 4 bomb off Ohtani – etched him as a legend. Off the field, life couldn’t be brighter. Nathalie, who’s balanced pregnancy glow with foundation work, recently hosted a toy drive for underprivileged kids in Toronto, channeling her energy into causes close to her heart. “Motherhood has made me stronger,” she posted earlier this year alongside pics of her girls at a charity softball game.
Social media exploded with reactions, blending baseball banter and baby fever. “From AL East battles to diaper changes – Vladdy’s got the full cycle now! Congrats on the girl power trio,” posted ESPN’s Jeff Passan. Blue Jays fans flooded timelines with edits of Guerrero’s walk-off homers morphing into crib reveals, while #BabyGuerreroGirl memes featured pink baseballs and “Future MVP” onesies. Even rivals chimed in: Yankees captain Aaron Judge wrote, “Proud of you, brother. May she swing like her dad!” The outpouring underscores Guerrero’s appeal – he’s not just a 500-foot bomber; he’s a family man making fatherhood look effortless.
As the offseason heats up, whispers of Guerrero’s next moves swirl (hello, potential Dodgers trade rumors?), but for now, it’s all about family. With Nathalie expecting and the girls prepping for sisterhood, the Guerreros are reminding us why baseball’s best stories happen beyond the diamond. Vladdy wrapped his post with a family photo under Toronto’s skyline: “Blessed beyond words. Here’s to more love, more laughs, and more pink everything. #GuerreroGirls #BabyOnBoard.”
Blue Jays faithful, mark your calendars – this dynasty’s just getting started, on and off the field. What’s your favorite Guerrero family moment? Sound off in the comments!
