In Pictures: Ronald Acuna Jr.'s wife Maria Laborde turns heads at the gym in light pink leggings & chic white sports top
For Ronald Acuna Jr., the 2024 offseason will be one of recovery and rehabilitation. However, as can be discerned from a glance at her social media feeds, Acuna's wife Maria is also putting in the work.
Recently, Maria took to her personal Instagram account to show off her gym outfit. Clad in light pink leggings and a white sports top, Maria's latest capture were a series of mirror selfies, taken at her local gym.
Like her husband, Maria originally hails from Venezuela, although she did not meet Ronald until 2019, his sophomore season on the Atlanta Braves.
In 2015, Maria won Miss Teen Carabobo in her home state, which set the stage for Laborde to compete in the National Miss Venezuela competition.
The pair married on August 29, 2023, a date that Ronald Acuna Jr. celebrated by hitting a grand slam against the Los Angeles Dodgers. Ronald and Maria are also the parents of two sons - Ronald and Jamal - born in 2021 and 2023 respectively.
In 2023, Acuna stole 73 bags and hit 41 homers to become the founding member of the 40/70 club. However, the star outfielder's 2024 season was cut short in late May, when he suffered a torn ACL in a game against the Pittsburgh Pirates. For Acuna, it was his second such injury since the summer of 2021.
Ronald Acuna Jr. credited a robust fitness routine for overcoming his last ACL tear. As we can see from Maria's personal social media feeds, his other half is intent on joining him for the heavy lifting.

A known social media influencer with hundreds of thousands of Instagram followers, Maria Laborde Acuna likes to share glimpses of her life. In some further Instagram stories, Maria shared her love of sunsets as well as a small gift that was left in her gym bag.
The Acuna family has swapped northern Venezuela for suburban Georgia. Although they are thousands of miles from where they grew up, their commitment to fitness, their family and each other is the basis of the Acuna marriage.
