On Feb. 29, MLB star Shohei Ohtani — who signed a historic 10-year, $700 million contract with the Los Angeles Dodgers in late 2023 — revealed on Instagram that he quietly tied the knot: "Not only have I [begun] a new chapter in my career with the Dodgers but I also have [begun] a new life with someone from my native country of Japan who is very special to me and I wanted everyone to know I am now married.
