In an interview with Santiago Matias, former president Leonel Fernandez made the following remarks on the relationship between Nicole and Pujols, as reported by the Cleveland American:

“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 had a celebrated career. He spent his first 11 seasons with the Cardinals, then spent more than nine seasons with the LA Angels before spending half a season with the LA Dodgers. He said earlier that 2022 would be his final season. He returned to where it all started to cap off his incredible career.

He has held the title of the oldest MLB player since 2020.
