Gerrit Cole, one of the most popular players in the Major League Baseball and the New York Yankees’ pitcher, made history in 2020 when he signed a nine year deal with the New York Yankees, worth $324 million; one of the most expensive contracts. Away from the field, he is constantly in the news for his beautiful marriage to former softball player, Amy Cole and their beautiful family of four.

Amy comes from a pretty athletic background herself. Born on 10th January 1989 in California, Amy completed her schooling at Foothill High School. After completing her schooling, Amy headed to the prestigious UCLA where she met her future husband, the famous baseball player Gerrit Cole.
According to People, while being in UCLA, Amy was a part of the softball team and was a part of the Bruins team that made history by winning the Women’s College World Series back in 2010.
Amy currently has a massive following on social media and enjoys a whopping 64.4K followers on her Instagram. She is pretty active on social media and shares glimpses of her life often with her followers.
Gerrit Cole And Amy Cole’s Relationship, Marriage And Children
Gerrit Cole and Amy Cole’s relationship started years ago when they met each other, back in college at UCLA. They were both athletes and quickly became friends. Amy was a part of the softball team while Gerrit was focusing on his baseball career.
Recalling the first time they met, Gerrit revealed to Inside Weddings, that Amy was the “prettiest girl he has ever met” and he really wanted to know her more.
But as fate would have it, while Gerrit asked Amy out, she did not go on a date with him until a year later. Recalling her decision to go on the first date with Gerrit, Amy said to Inside Weddings, “I was moving into my new apartment, and Gerrit drove an hour and a half after a wedding just to help me move. My mom was there with me, and he showed up with a bouquet of flowers for her birthday. That’s the day I decided to take him up on that first-date offer from the year prior.”
Years later, after a short stint in a long distance relationship, Gerrit proposed to Amy in 2015 and on 12th November 2016, the couple tied the knot at the luxurious The Ritz-Carlton in Santa Barbara, California.
After four years of a beautiful married life, the couple welcomed their first child in June 2020 and named him Caden Gerrit Cole. Later on 2nd January 2023, the couple welcomed their second child and named her Everett Cole.
