Shohei Ohtani (LA Dodgers), who made a surprise wedding announcement, revealed various things about his wife's personal information.

According to Jack Harris of the Los Angeles Times on the 1st (Korea time), Ohtani talked about marriage at a meeting with reporters ahead of practice.

Regarding his wife, Ohtani said, "I'm an ordinary Japanese woman I've known for three to four years.

The explanation is that the two got engaged last year and got married this year, and announced after the documents were confirmed.

He answered questions about marriage but remained silent about his wife's details.

The exact timing of the wedding was not answered. Ohtani emphasized, "She had nothing to do with my decision to join the Dodgers. Her wife supported me in choosing the Dodgers."

Why did you announce your marriage now? Ohtani explained, "There's a lot of talk about whether you're married or not. You need to talk about it now so you can focus on baseball and not get in the way of the season."

Considering Ohtani's global presence, outdoor dating is not an easy choice not only in Japan but also in the U.S. So the two usually enjoyed indoor dating.

He rarely comes to the U.S. during the season, but he came to the U.S. during spring training this year and has been staying with them. "It's fun to be together," Ohtani explained.

Again, he did not reveal who his wife was. It is the right choice for a wife who will love her mother-in-law.

It is a typical choice for Ohtani, who was reluctant to reveal his personal life. Ohtani was careful about revealing his name "deco pin" while showing off his life with his dog while playing for the Dodgers. "It is more important to have a peaceful mind. I want to keep my personal life that way, including marriage and children," he said. "I don't want to reveal it." The announcement seems to have been made with the intention of minimizing the disturbance that may have occurred when the couple was seen on an outdoor date and did not want to disturb the season.

Previously, Ohtani had several scandals with actresses and famous sports stars. However, no evidence has been caught or acknowledged.

Japanese media have speculated about his wife's identity, including "childhood friends," "high school alumni," "actress with past scandals" and "retired athlete."
