Chelsea and Freddie are the parents of three boys. They welcomed their eldest son, Frederick Charles Freeman II, named Charlie, on September 15, 2016. Their “displaced twins,” Brandon John and Maximus Turner Freeman, joined the family in 2020 and 2021, respectively. the couple were open about their pregnancies after Chelsea gave birth to Charlie via emergency C-section in 2016.
“It was a lot of medicals, a lot of procedures, a lot of tests,” Chelsea told ESPN in February 2021. “A lot of them alone, because it was during the baseball season. It’s all worth it in the end, but going through it. .. it’s definitely one of the most mentally difficult things you can go through.” “The hardest part of going through infertility is the emotions,” she continued “You’re so exhausted because you don’t know why — like, ‘Why isn’t this happening?’ Think about those things.” To expand their family, the couple worked with a surrogate mother – and, to the couple’s surprise, Chelsea became pregnant again almost at the same time. They welcomed Brandon, named after Chelsea’s grandfather, on December 20, 2020, and Maximus, whose middle name pays homage to the previous name of the Atlanta Braves stadium, on February 14, 2021.”Every pregnancy and fertility journey is a little different for everyone, and we wanted respect our surrogate’s privacy as well,” Freddie said in the same interview. “I think it’s an inspiring story that we have. We tried for several years, but it didn’t happen. We talked to doctors and they suggested surrogacy. We decided to do it because we wanted to be blessed with more children.”
The couple’s three sons regularly appear on Chelsea’s Instagram and often attend their father’s baseball games. Recently, the family of five headed to Seattle for the 2023 MLB All-Star Game. “All-Star Bound! #seattle,” Chelsea captioned a snap of the group getting ready to board the plane. “For as long as I’ve known him, he’s said that since he was a little boy, he always knew he wanted to be a dad,” Chelsea told ESPN of her husband in November 2020. “As much as being a baseball player is important to him, I think being a dad is even more important.”

After the Atlanta Braves won the 2021 World Series by beating the Houston Astros in six games, Chelsea and Charlie joined Freddie on the field to celebrate the big night. Although many expected Freddie to retire as a Brave, he joined the Los Angeles Dodgers in 2022, signing a six-year contract with the team after 12 seasons in Atlanta. Chelsea shared supporting posts throughout Freddie’s major league career, and she did just that after her husband’s first season as a Dodger. “If I could sum up the 2022 season in one word, it would be resilience,” she wrote on Instagram in October 2022. “I’m always proud of Freddie, but this year was different. I saw that you became an even better person, teammate and player. To know you is to love you and I can’t wait to see what the next season brings. Thank you LA, for an absolutely amazing first year. 💙.”
