To a local journalist, Pujols acknowledged dating Fernandez in 2022, the daughter of the former president of the Dominican Republic, Leonel Fernandez. Several posts on Pujols and Fernandez's social media pages revealed their relationship.
According to the Cleveland American, former president Leonel Fernandez made the following comments about Nicole and Pujols' connection in an interview with Santiago Matias:
“I don’t know, because there’s always been a friendly relationship. The friendship with Albert has been for a long time, for years. So, I don’t know how to tell him. So, if I do, admit it now, but actually it’s always been friendly, coming.”
Pujols has enjoyed a successful career. He played for the Cardinals for his first 11 seasons, the LA Angels for more than nine seasons and the LA Dodgers for half a season before retiring as a Cardinal after last season.
In the 2022 season, Pujols became the fourth player with 700 career home runs and rose to second place on MLB's all-time chart for most career RBIs and total bases. The first baseman has received two Gold Glove Awards.
