Who Is Cody Bellinger's Fiancée? All About Chase Carter
MLB player Cody Bellinger got engaged to his fiancée in June 2023
Chicago Cubs player Cody Bellinger has found love with his fiancée, model Chase Carter.
The couple started dating in July 2020 and welcomed their daughter, Caiden Carter Bellinger, in November 2021. Nearly two years later, in April 2023, they welcomed another daughter, Cy Carter Bellinger. The pair announced their engagement two months later.
Bellinger previously shared that his relationship with Carter works because the two see eye-to-eye. "We kind of see life the same, so I think that's where it's really going to work out,” he told PEOPLE in August 2021.
Though he may have won the 2020 World Series with the Los Angeles Dodgers, before his first baby arrived, Bellinger said growing his family is his biggest accomplishment.
“I think being a good dad trumps all. Everyone says being a dad is the most important thing,” he said. “My girlfriend feels it; she's growing in her stomach so she has that connection with it. I'm just there for the support, making sure she feels alright.”
So who is Cody Bellinger's fiancée? Here is everything to know about Chase Carter and her relationship with the MLB player.
She’s from the Bahamas
Carter was born in Nassau, Bahamas. Growing up in a “slow-paced, close-knit” community, the model has said she didn’t know that wasn’t how “the whole world worked.”
“Everyone’s your cousin, or everyone is a relative of some sort. You go to the grocery store and you bump into all of your friends’ parents,” she told Maxim in 2018. “It’s also very slow-paced, which was interesting for me because I’m a pretty high-strung individual. When I got to be around 8 or 10, my mom said I was ready to get out of the house.”
However, after moving to New York City, Carter realized how much she missed being by the beach all the time. Now, she has a passion for helping her home community.
“Giving back to my Bahamian people, the youth, and the people I grew up with [is important]. I'm thinking about what I can help them out with, whether it's tennis shoes or helping the sports coaches, like mine, who dedicate their time for free,” she told Story + Rain.
She’s a model
Carter has been modeling since she was 13 after she met a scout at the Sydney Airport, per Sports Illustrated. The model's first meeting resulted in her signing with IMG and the agency embraced her desire to be “more of a personality," as she told Story + Rain.
After kicking off her career, Carter worked for Victoria’s Secret Pink, Maybelline New York, Urban Outfitters and Good American, according to Maxim. She was also a rookie in the 2018 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue.
Carter has said her approach to work is to “get involved creatively.”
“When I go onto set, I always ask, ‘What are we looking for?’ I hate wasting time on something that's not working,” she said. “Once I'm shown the mood board, I kind of tap into an alter ego and go forward with the vibe and get into character."
She’s passionate about sports
Like Bellinger, Carter is also an athlete. Growing up, she played tennis, soccer, softball and was even a member of her high school's track and field team, for which she threw the javelin, per Sports Illustrated. She also ran the N.Y.C. Marathon in 2018, and she often shares her intense workouts on Instagram.
The model has opened up about why she was so athletic growing up.
“They start bribing you and saying, ‘You don’t have to show up to practice or do that assignment today if you play the game,’ ” Carter told Maxim. “I was on every national sports team, too, because of the lack of children. I was the number one javelin thrower in the Bahamas — because I was the only one.”
Carter also loves watching sports.
“As soon as I get up, no pun intended, I watch [ESPN’s] Get Up!, and I watch Stephen A. Smith, because his opinions are so outrageous and unfiltered," she told Maxim. "I watch every game I can. My main interests are basketball and football, and I’m getting more interested in baseball now.”
She got engaged to Bellinger in 2023
Bellinger and Carter started dating in July 2020 — she made their relationship Instagram official with a snap of them kissing at one of his baseball games in October 2020. “My ❤️,” she captioned the photos.
Bellinger followed Carter’s post a month later, going Instagram official with her on his account in November 2020.
After dating for three years and welcoming two children together, the couple revealed they were engaged in June 2023. Carter shared the happy news on Instagram alongside snaps of her new ring and a sweet selfie of her and Bellinger smiling after his proposal.
She shares two kids with Bellinger
Carter gave birth to her and Bellinger's daughter Caiden on Nov. 27, 2021. She shared the happy news on Instagram, posting the first photos of Caiden with her father. “Welcome to this world my baby, I love you more than I could ever explain,” she captioned the photos.
Before they welcomed Caiden into the world, Bellinger shared his excitement about becoming a girl dad with PEOPLE.
“I've heard nothing but good things about having a little girl, especially with being the father of the girl,” Bellinger said. “Everyone tells me there's no love like it. 'Daddy's little girl' is a real thing so I'm super excited."
On April 28, 2023, the couple welcomed another daughter, Cy. "Lots of babies lots of love," the new mom-of-two wrote on Instagram a few days after Cy's birth. The family of four went on a tropical vacation at the end of 2023.
She shares a dog with Bellinger
The couple have a dog that they got together before Caiden was born, a Doberman named Junior. Bellinger shared his love for Junior on Instagram in September 2021, writing, “Appreciation post for my first born son.”
Carter seems to enjoy spending time with Junior, too. In January 2023, she shared a photo of herself carrying Caiden in a baby harness while holding Junior’s leash, jokingly captioning it, “Gotta love picking up dog and baby poop to start your day!”
She has a sister and a brother
Carter has two siblings, a brother named Cayman Carter and a sister named Tess Carter, who is also a model.
The mom-of-two shared a birthday tribute to Cayman in March 2020 and a photo of herself hanging out with Tess and Bellinger in December 2021.
The three siblings also posed together on Instagram in 2019.
