Los Angeles Dodgers starting pitcher Bobby Miller had his girlfriend Natalie Loureda over at Dodger Stadium to celebrate his bobblehead night on Thursday. Loureda was invited to throw the first pitch ahead of the game against the Arizona Diamondbacks.
Loureda, who is a martial artist, actress and writer, shared glimpses from her first pitch at the ballpark. She wore a Dodgers jersey, posed with Miller, and met his fellow teammates, including manager Dave Roberts.
"Had the honor to throw out the first pitch for my Novio’s bobblehead night 🥊⚾️💙 #GODODGERS #ITFDB" she wrote on X.
Who is Bobby Miller's multi-talented girlfriend, Natalie Loureda?
Natalie Loureda was raised in Miami in a household that has been into the arts of self-defense with her family members, from Taekwondo to MMA fighting. Loureda, too, naturally leaned into the footsteps of her family and learned Taekwondo in her father's dojo.
According to Spectrum 13, Loureda found her way to the US National Team in Taekwondo, where she competed in the first ever 12- to 14-year-old Cadet team and eventually won for the country.
“Taekwondo has showed me self-respect for not only myself, but for others,” said Loureda. “And it’s true. It truly showed me how to love myself more than anything and it’s a self-discipline you can apply to any aspect in your life.” [via Spectrum 13].
Natalie Loureda moved to Orlando and studied sports business and entrepreneurship at the University of Central Florida. She then joined F45 training to evolve in wrestling and transitioned to MMA.
Natalie Loureda's sister, a WWE wrestler going by the name Lola Vice, is Loureda's role model and she now hopes to follow in her footsteps and become a WWE wrestler.
“When I saw my sister became my own superhero and became the first Cuban in WWE Superstar, it just lit up an inspiration and my heart was like, ’I can do that and look at how many other girls can think the same way as me,’” Loureda said.
Currently, she works as a fitness instructor at F45 training and is also spotted working out in local gyms. Her Instagram bio says she is also a creative director and actress. She often attends Dodgers games whenever her significant other, Bobby Miller, takes the mound.
