MLB fans were shocked by the announcement of Nina Altuve, the wife of Houston Astros star Jose Altuve, to divorce. The decision came after news leaked that Altuve was seen at a hotel with a third person, sparking a wave of disappointment from fans. The incident not only affected Altuve’s image but also raised big questions about his future in the 2025 MLB season.
Jose Altuve and Nina have been together since their childhood in Venezuela, marrying in 2006 when Altuve was just 16 years old. The couple has two daughters, Melanie Andrea (2016) and another girl born in 2020. Nina has always been known as Altuve’s biggest supporter, often appearing at the ballpark to cheer on her husband. However, this scandal has shattered the happy family image they have built for nearly 20 years. According to Sportskeeda, the couple had romantic trips throughout Europe, but now everything seems to be over.
Altuve, who moved to left field for the 2025 season, is in impressive form with a .321 batting average and 3 home runs in 19 games, according to MLB.com. However, this scandal could seriously affect his playing spirit. The Astros are currently facing a slow start, and this off-field drama could make things more difficult for the team. Some fans on social media expressed their disappointment: “Altuve is my idol, but this action is unacceptable!”
Currently, neither Altuve nor the Astros have made an official comment. Meanwhile, Nina is said to be focusing on taking care of her two daughters and the charity activities she has participated in over the years. Fans are waiting to see if Altuve can overcome this crisis to continue shining on the field, or if the scandal will mark a turning point in his career.
