There’s something so special about the moments leading up to a big change in life, isn’t there? The excitement, the anticipation, and that feeling of pure joy—it’s all so magical. That’s exactly the vibe Katia Lindor is giving off right now as she gets ready to welcome her third child with her husband, Francisco Lindor. It’s not just about the baby on the way; her Instagram post, set against a breathtaking backdrop of pink and gold, tells a story of growth and celebrations, offering an intimate glimpse into the Lindor family, beyond Mets’ star shortstop.
With two little girls already running around—Kalina and Amapola—the Lindor family is about to get even bigger, and you can just feel how much love they have for this next chapter. In her latest Instagram post, the mother-to-be captivated her followers with a stunning maternity photoshoot. Dressed in a flowing tie-dye tulle gown, she stood with elegance as she flaunted her baby bump.

Katia isn’t one for filters—not the kind you find on social media, but the ones life throws at you. For her, motherhood has always been about more than just appearances. This isn’t the first time she’s shared such heartfelt thoughts either. In a previous post, she wrote, “My goal is not to look attractive,” but rather to feel empowered in her own skin while nurturing life within her.
Just days after Women’s Day, she even shared an unfiltered story on her Instagram. She highlighted the challenges women face during pregnancy, yet they “mask, overcome endure intense discomfort.” Take her experience, for instance—she was literally “experiencing the worst nausea and vomiting going into the postseason.” Yet, she stood by her husband, who was turning heads. Her authenticity has struck a chord with so many, elevating her beyond just being the wife of an MLB star.
And what about Francisco? The Mets star couldn’t be more excited about this new chapter of their lives. He often talks about how much family means to him in interviews, crediting his success to the love and support he gets at home. Perhaps he’s inspired by his wife.
Francisco Lindor balances baseball pressures with family harmony
Despite being a star credited for bringing the Mets out of their underdog era, he considers the life he has built with his wife, Katie, as his biggest achievement. While fans admire his performances on the field, few realize the role Katia plays as his unwavering support system, beyond the game-day challenges. “Most successful people have a partner… I just think most have someone by their side that can keep them true to who they are. Katia has brought that to me.” Lindor often emphasizes, highlighting how crucial Katia’s presence is to his journey. Whether it involves managing a demanding schedule of a 162-game season or finding time for their growing family, Katia plays a crucial part in maintaining balance and harmony in their lives.

Like many beautiful love stories, these two also met on Instagram. But it wasn’t love at first sight. After talking for three months, they finally met each other in Arizona, when Francisco was there for spring training. That first meeting sparked something special, and soon after, they began dating. And in 2021, they officially tied the knot. Since then, Katie and their daughters have been with Francisco every step of the way. Even Mets manager Carlos Mendoza recognizes the support the shortstop has: “His support system off the field is incredible. People around him continue to push him and continue to support him, especially in those tough stretches. That’s why this guy is the complete package.”

Francisco handles the intense pressure of the baseball world, while Katia creates a comforting and supportive home environment away from the spotlight. Now, as they prepare to welcome their child, their connection deepens further, showing that every exceptional player has an extraordinary support network behind them.
