The couple met during their high school days in Kentucky and maintained their relationship throughout Walker's ascension through the Los Angeles Dodgers minor league system. McKenzie attended the University of Kentucky where she received two bachelors degrees, one in family sciences and the other in elementary education and teaching.
Although the Los Angeles Dodgers plan on keeping Walker in California for a long time, the two own a home in Lexington that was purchased last year. They plan on maintaining a strong tie to the roots that brought them together with the help of their French Bulldog, Nala. For Walker, who owns a minority stake in 2020 Kentucky Derby winner Authentic, 2020 was a year in which the right hander won two championships. Along with the Derby win, he was a key member of the Los Angeles Dodgers World Series championship run during the shortened 2020 season.
