Who is Gerrit Cole's wife? Meet Amy Cole
Gerrit Cole and Amy Cole have been together a long time, even before he became an ace for the New York Yankees.
He was a star pitcher for UCLA, a future No. 1 overall pick in the MLB Draft for the Pittsburgh Pirates in 2011. She played softball for the Bruins on a team that won the Women's College World Series. And how did they get together?
Via Inside Weddings, here's a fun story: “I remember thinking she was the prettiest girl I had ever met and I wanted to get to know her,” the groom recalls. They became friends while sharing the weight room at 6AM, but it was a pair of kind gestures that led to their relationship. “I was moving into my new apartment and Gerrit drove an hour and a half after a wedding just to help me move. My mom was there with me and he showed up with a bouquet of flowers for her birthday,” reveals Amy. “That’s the day I decided to take him up on that first-date offer from the year prior.”
Here's a look at some photos of them:
