"Wanted to slide like daddy" - Trea Turner's wife Kristen shares their son Beckham channeling Phillies superstar father in sliding practice
Phillies ace shortstop Trea Turner and his wife Kristen are proud parents to two sons Beckham Dash Turner and Tatum Turner. The happy family resides in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania where Trea has been playing ball with Phillies since signing a mammoth 11-year $300 million contract during the offseason in 2022.
Kristen is a loving mother and takes care of her kids while at the same time providing unconditional support to Trea Turner through his ongoing journey in the MLB. She took to social media to share a hilarious video of her eldest son Beckham doing some sliding pratice in the dirt. The caption on the image read:
"Sliding practice today.. Was supposed to go feet first but wanted to slide like daddy @tvturner."
The couple met for the first time when they were studying in North Carolina State University. While Turner was playing baseball in the ACC with the Wolfpacks, Kristen was part of the Wolfpacks gymnastics team. The duo dated for several years before deciding to get engaged on June 27, 2017.
The couple then proceeded to tie the knot in a traditional Catholic manner on November 10, 2018 at St. Joseph’s Catholic Church in Washington, D.C. They hosted an amazing reception for all friends and family members at the National Museum of Women in the Arts.
Reflecting on her beautiful wedding with Trea Turner in an interview with BRIDES, Kristen said:
"We didn’t have a first look before the ceremony. The moment when I walked down the aisle with my dad and saw Trea for the first time is one I’ll always remember!"
They welcomed their eldest son Beckham Dash Turner on February 9, 2021, and their second son Tatum Turner on September 7, 2023. The duo are now gearing up to welcome their third child in 2025. They made the announcement via a social media post, with the caption:
"Round 3…..baby GIRL coming soon 🩷"
